2:34 PM Whistler Crankworx 2010

Eliot Jackson is the rider above and he has some pretty impressive skills. I've known him for awhile and have been stoked that he got into the DH thing. If he wants it bad enough he's going to do more than turn heads. This was during the A-line Air DH. He may not have been the fastest on the day but he had better Bubba scrubs then anyone on course by a mile.

Another trip down. Home for 2 days then off to Yosemite for vacation. I need to shut it down for a few days and recharge for Windham and the World Championships. Enjoy a few more pics from Whistler.

6:47 PM US MTB Championships

Just got back from the US MTB Championships held at the SolVista Bike Park in Granby, CO. The higher altitude and mid-day sun were a bit challenging- not to mention my 2 hour hiking detour the morning of the U23 race with my camera pack. That pretty much ruined my legs and feet from the start but I got through it.

Funny things go through my head when I'm at a "big event." What am I shooting? Am I doing it right? Is my stuff going to look different? Unique? Will anyone say wow? Just when I'm really second guessing my self I usually settle down and see something. when I know I have something good I take a look around to see if any other photo nerds are around. If they aren't or their camera has a different lens or is pointed some where else I know I'm in business.

When I get home I start checking sites to see what others shot. It gives me a good view into how others approached each event, and how they see things. For this event I'm pretty happy how things turned out. for some other pics be sure to check here Giant's FaceBook page
