The A&A has rather run it's course, I think. The time has come for something new. Elf's Tuesday thread is a lovely thing, mainly because it's so lovely to look at. So, partially inspired by that, it's time to have some performance and photography pics! The aim is quite simple, let's see the very best sports photography you can think of! (Worksafe, etc)

An amusing one to kick off with;

And a real fave pic of mine, Spartacus in London;
[img] [/img]

Future editions may well be themed, but right now I have a hangover and a busy day ahead, so, over to you for nothing more than some really good sports photos!

They may not be the very best sports photos by some margin, but it's that time of year again! Mountain Mayhem 2010:

love the TDF road gap picture. I am still trying to find it in a poster size print so I can frame it and hang it up on the wall.

This is a pic I took of Dean Downing 2 years ago at the tour series in Woking. 2 laps to go and he went on a solo break ahead of the bunch... held on for the win! I was lucky to lean out at the right moment for this shot.

love this photo, you can't see where the take off is, or the landing, or even how he's managed to find the space to get between the trees, let alone pull off a massive jump

And this one is super gnarly (dude)

I really like that Herne Hill pic for some reason elf- an almost faded period feel to it, just like the venue.
