Mt Ste Anne world Cup 4X mens final. Michal Prokop and Brian Lopes (rank #1) went at it real hard.
At the half way mark, Prokop managed to stick a wheel ahead of Lopes and slam shut the door going into this corner.

Brian was trying to figure out a way to get around both the corner and Michal.

The rest of the images tells the story. He didn't make it.

These guys put on one hell of a show. If you ever get the chance to see them run in a World Cup or even in a NORBA race, get out there and watch.
For the folks in the North East, the NORBA Finals is a Mt Snow. VT. at the end of August. Be there!

Nice shots, Ian. Hopefully you were able to get out of the way before you got clobbered by one of those bikers!?!? :)

Great series Ian. You should have spent more time shooting and less time making sure that chair in the rig didn't move.http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gifhttp://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif

I expected a boxing match ... but this is a terrific series ... I wish we had more of this type of imagery from sports even though it takes up so much space. Really grand! Thank you.

Remember to pack the shiny purple vest:):):):)
I really want to go to Mt Snow but since the North Americian Sales Meeting is the same dates I figure I better attend that. Anyway, I'll get to see Senior Belmondo at the same time.:):):):):):)
Whoo hoo! L.A. will not be the same after that!:)
