[darren h]

Some pics from a warm and sunny Cadwell. Tried to get some shots of the Mountain but a lovely Media Pass would of been nice to get closer for the frontal shots. All comments welcome.

First up yours is the third posting showing bikes with the back wheel off the ground and they all look to be at the same part of the track, why do they fly at this point??
Picture wise all in focus, but somehow they just lack punch in the colour's. The third is light in colour, granted it's white, but it's just not as they say "Popping"

[Big Ant]

Great shots Darren:) It looks to me as the sun was behind the trees for most of the day. I know on a BSB race day its very hard to move around

For KHall - that part of the circuit is called the mountain, a 40 degree incline. You can imagine with over 200bhp on tap that Superbikes quickly become Moto X bikes, infact the riders were having a small competition as to who could jump the furthest:D

One ended up with broken leg:(

[colinradford]

That last shot of Karl Harris is awesome, he's either going in to orbit or the cafe!

[khall]

Big Ant.
Thanks for the INFO. Point of interest how high do they get off the track. Looks like it could be 30cm or more?

Rumor has it, 3ft at the back wheel:D I think Karl Harris was the culprit - ex moto x

Some people say it's too dangerous but you can always go a bit slower:lol:

Nice images Darren, #5 is my favourite.

Cheers

Can't agree with that, Racers don't slow down for anything, 200+BHP bikes over the mountain is crazy IMO.

I was stood at the bottom of the mountain during the second BSB race and I was amazed that more riders didn't come off... the bikes twitch an amazing amount when they land.

I saw Leon Camier have a massive wobble as he landed but didn't see him actually off his bike, I hope his leg will be sorted out quickly and he will be riding competitively again really soon.

Great shots Darren H, make my efforts look rather poor, I thought I had done rather well considering the crowds :(

[Box Brownie]

Great images but the one that "speaks" to me is #4, just enough air to keep the shadow in the shot ~ cracking one :D

[AzzA]

They all look bang on to me. Great stuff Darren. That "Mountain" section must be awesome to watch... mental really :eek:

Saw Camier's crash on the box... truely horrible accident. Made me shiver :( Hopefully he can make a full recovery.

[JonMoss]

Superb photos - no. 3 for me too :-)
I was there on practice day - worked out very well - not too crowded and gorgeous weather!

cheers Ant, yes Camier broke his femur and disllocated his knee

Thanks Jon, was going to go on Practice but couldn't get time off work and it was mega busy on race day

Cracking shots Darren, I really like the one of Shakey standing up and they make a change from every other photo you see from the Mountain.

I only just got around to watching the race today. That was a bad crash hope also they can sort him out and get him back up and running soon.

Also a great set of photos. I love coming to this site and looking at all the motor sport photos.

I love these shots! Nice work. I want go to go a race when both wheels are off the ground. I cant only shoot the Corkscrew @ laguan seca. Well try to, everyone gets in the way
