Nice shots, I was out at the Otter too. Your shots look good! I really like the movement/motion blur in #1.

Nice shoots. But opposed to other two posters, I don't like first one all that much. It's nice shoot otherwise, but a bit too much from back for my taste. My favourite is #3.

Thanks. There was one downhiller that went off course, broke the tape and rode over 3 or 4 remote flashes. But he stayed upright (not the flashes off course) and got back on the trail like it was nothing. Quite impressive. I'll post the photos of it later.

All I heard after was "Hope you had insurance for those..."
