COOOOOOL shots! Really crisp, and tell a great story. Love the angles you selected.

"Borked" your tripod? I think that's illegal in my county.

What was your set up for #3?

[niro750]

Flash off to left about 2 feet, would have prefered rhs but cant hold flash there and work camera without tripod! Hope to recreate this shot at next race with better lighting and slightly higher up as the terrain and views are very sweet.

cheers for comments!

I like 2,4,6 the best. In 2, the snow is reallly cool. The riders seem to pop the most to me in 4 and 6.

Nice shots. The falling snow makes these special. Where were you guys when you shot these?

that looks like so much fun

Where is this? I wanna ride it!

#1 is too flat for me, it doesn't really look like he's doing much ;)

I really dig 4 and 6, great angles, and good exposure.

in 5, why is the guy going UP? I race DH, and we try not to go up most of the time :)

Not your best?! I think 6 is absolutley excellent and while the rider in #2 is a bit static the shot definetley has that cold Scottish mountain feel :)
I'd crop it a bit myself, but then what do I know
