I guess this is from Finland? It seems like Fins enjoy a good time.

I like the 1st and 2nd best.

Wow, Our ski resort is more famous for our downhill biking trails, but I don't know anyone ballsy enough to go down them in the snow. Were you using the flash on camera or off?

I love how the colors pop in the first one. The photographer in the second and third one is pretty brave.

I think its even more slippery in summer if its raining. They had pretty nice stud tires. Big up for the guys who spent week to clean that snow away so the race was possible. Ballsy or crazy, whats the difference :D
Yes, OCF = off camera flash, triggered with elinchrom skyport

It was almos 90 degree turn so there was no speed and the photog was almost 2 metres away so not really that dangerous place.

Vesa- Nice work. I really like #1 since it sets the scene - which looks like a dream world - and the flash is not noticeable at all. It looks like a lot of fun to shoot.

Thank you everyone.
I´m glad my framing works. Its so pretty in here now as we have lots of snow so I wanted to show that on background.
Tight panning shots can wait till summer when everything looks green and boring :D
