Hi all, was up round the course yesterday, it was rainy and yeuchy but managed to snap some pics, see them here – http://www.flickr.com/photos/46667515@N08/sets/72157625709759007/with/5360133918/

some great pics there especially like the ones of folk jumping off the rock 😀

Nice. I recognise a few of those that whizzed past me!

I like the tent. Is it yours and where did you get it?

Great photos Paul…..looked very interesting to ride 🙂

Speckledbob, no it’s not my tent, but a local friends. Think they got it from Norway.

super pics!

Good pics.

Some nice shots in there.

The pic of Ewan is top notch! Want to see it on the cover of a mag…

Is there a pic of mork jumping off the rock before he bonked with the heebee jeebees? :O)

Great pics Paul. Respect to the riders and organisers.

Martinxyz aye, there should be a Mork shot in there somewhere, chapeau as they say to the young man he was at least ragging it on the downs!

POSting from my radox bath. Great photos Paul. I guess the other one of me that sharki said had overmuch “chinage” ended up on the cutting room floor. 😉
CAn’t wait for sharki to post his. SOMe nice atmospheric ones in the night.

How did you do Jo?

Great pics Paul.

Good to meet you yesterday.

My pics are all rubbish, well at least the riding shots are.

I’ll pop a few up on here once a upload them somewhere.

Gawd, i’m so tired now and didn’t even ride.

Credit to all those that did.

Cracking weekend!

Hi Sharki, aye great walking round with you, you didn’t tell Jo about the “chinnage” shot? It was just a shadow – honest! Cue some photoshopping! Pit bitching is a thankless task well done that man.

Dawn breaks on the course.

Naff sunset.

Wanted..More capable camera and a lot more knowledge 🙁

Looks good to me.
Great result for the girls – I was tired just tracking everyone online!

Great pics – Love this one – http://www.flickr.com/photos/46667515@N08/5360125832/in/set-72157625709759007/

What flash were you using?

petestuart – a Nikon SB800 fired using their CLS system (ok, but not great outdoors) gonna try and pick up some secondhand flash triggers.

and here’s some more http://www.flickr.com/photos/46667515@N08/sets/72157625713873793/with/5361323063/
I don’t know who most of these people are, but if you’re in them, hope you like them – you mad crazy fools!

Oh dear, I do look like a mad crazy fool in this one!

good stuff aviemoron!

I’m looking a touch over-enthusiastic in this one:

and here:

I’m glad someone got a photo of the new “active camoflage” paintjob on my Chameleon.

Enjoy getting into the Strobist stuff! CLS is a good backup, but there are more reliable triggers out there.

Digiphotoneil – aye, first time I’ve used the CLS in “anger” (had practised on my kids!) and quickly realised I couldn’t really put the flashes where I wanted. Saving now for PW’s! Also realised how much thought the pros must put into getting good action shots!

Is this some wierd camera angle or is this bloke on a 96er?

That’s Twinkly Dave on a Ragley TD-1. (2nd soloist)

Definitely a 29er 🙂

The front wheel looks like a 26 though! I saw a few 29ers, they are probably ideal on that course.
