Good effort. Thanks! Agree that on the panning so are slightly off. Think 3 with a bit of flash would have been a cracker! Gear List & 2012. A Photo a day.

I'll be at the final WC round in Schladming, Austria, though - so that'll be sweet! Amfamora wrote in post #5735243 Is No.2 Sam Hill (Australia)? Nah, Sam rides for Ironhorse/TLD etc so would be wearing a different kit - he'd also have the rainbow bands of the world champion. This photo looks to be one of the junior riders (also supported by his three-digit race number - Sam would be number 1). ~Andrew~

I26 Senior Member 587 posts Likes: 3 Joined Aug 2005 More info | I used to have a local sponsorship for mountain bike racing. Not downhill but single track. It was a blast. I did however get a rush while downhilling that is hard to compare to. Fastest I ever had it at was 54.5mph. These guys are truly awesome riders with very little hesitation. Alot of money in those rides as well. I am jealous that you not only went but took some pretty action-packed photos.
