Supercross in Zürich

[woodsie]

Went to watch some supercross the other night in an indoor arena. Very difficult shooting conditions. Mixed and variable light, smokey air, could only shoot from my seat so limited angles to work with and very limited space for squeezing me and my bag into, changing lenses and just trying to move around to shoot combined with a lack of experience shooting these conditions. So only about 25% of my shots where worth saving and only about 5% where worth saving. But was a good exercise in shooting in very difficult conditions. Here are a couple that I thought came out surprisingly well considering everything mentioned above.

My flatmate was absolutely that the winner of the top class was from her hometown of Austin, Texas. :)

What's up with the superkicker in the middle?

There was an FMX demonstration at the end, but I didn't get any shots of that.
