Will it me rainy and miserable or is it worth a 2 hour drive? I've gotta decide whether or not to go, I'm worried because the forecast says it's going to rain tomorrow and I don't want to ride in a mud pit.

Well, the dirt might be good, but I think I'm over it. Standing around getting soaked doesn't sound too fun, especially because I have pretty much no rain-protection clothing. Jeans+t-shirt=suck.

Hey guys! i figured i'd just use this thread instead of starting something new... but here's a few pictures from Sunday's events... not the greatest, but I dig them.

















my goal for the day was to shoot pretty much everything wideangle... for practice, so that's what i came up with.

Nice to make it into your gallery... thanks for the memories. You captured Fontana in one of it's finer moments (excluding rain).

canyon country, Ca.
those are some shots. was there to race but ended up getting there late and opted for breakfast rather than rushing to make registration. nothing worse than trying do anykind of riding on an empty stomach.

I have a 20D with a Tamron 17-35 and 55-200. I was thinking about getting a fish or 70-200 after a flash. I like how the 10.5 looks; really wide, but not overkill.

i just recently bought both the 10.5 and the 70-200 2.8.... you'll be extremely happy with either one, i've shot with them both several times, but finally using them for action stuff, they're great.

Very nice shots. Much better than the typical every picture from the same spot/angle. A little creativity and originality went a LONG way. I’m the last one above (demo 2 with red Oakley gear). Thanks.:thumb:

sorry dude, i can't find anything... i was hiking around and watching for a while since i haven't been to fontana before, but next time i'll try to get alot more quality pictures, so if you'll be out there again, shoot me your bike/clothes/number plate and i'll see if i got some shots afterwards.
