Good capture.
I think that if you moved down the hill a few gates you could have avoided the people in the background though. Processing wise, seems a bit flat to me. Any more?

Thanks for the input

Its hard to keep spectators out of the shot.. I did my best. I already cloned photographer out so it is much better than the original shot.

Check out this photo to give you an idea how crowded it usually is:

Processing was me trying something new.. the black point was raised up a bit

Wow no kidding it was busy but then again I should have known that with it being the Sea Otter and all.

My one and only time trying dual slalom I got a third degree separation of the AC joint in my shoulder. After that I stuck to free riding.

Ah, the good ol' Gravy Stains!!!!! The best photo I have of Jared was when he was on his way to winning the World Champs for the 1st time.

I really like your second shot.
