Very nice!

PAMS 25 - I saw the rest of your photos on Camera Courage I think! Or maybe it was Dereks old site. Can you send that link again?

Hey BCD where's that jump? Is that the one off summit?

I'm guessing that was prolly early in the season when all the jumps were still kinda jumps huh? (NONE of the jumps have lip anymore :angry:)

This one is from Norway. The rider Trond Hansen has a very special riding style...
This picture is taken with a old Samsung compact APS camera.. Hence the excellent quality... :rolleyes:

Where is the one of Sanjay railing in the dust (from Sea Otter I think)? He's running a Fox Forx and rear brake only setup. He looks so fast in that pic!

Of the ones that I have taken, this is one of my favorites:



Otherwise there are quite a few shots out there that I can't take my eyes off of. Lots of the best "semi-pro" photographers can be found in my sig

These are pretty hot pics. :thumb: Kinda looks like as if you are a bug sitting there on the log waiting to be squished... SPLAT!

Yup it was in Mt Biking Mag last year. It was the first shot i had in a mag.
The guy apparently broke his coil shock and had no choice but to run an air shock that happend to be close to the right size, from what I heard.

The lens was a 15mm sigma fisheye lens. Just enough to get the good stuff and not so much that everything looks skewed. Spomer recomended it to me and I have been loving it ever since!

Sorry, I'm not sure to understand your question. What is Camera Courage ? All the pics which I posted, come from http://www.nobrakes.ch. It's the Shabok's website, he comes sometimes on ridemonkey.



I dont know if the pics are clipped, nevertheless I have seen this rider (Fred Midey) during the trainings on this jump and the length of his jump was similar whit the pic. HUGGGEEEEEEEE :eek:
For the technical question, you can ask at Shabok with PM. He's an exellent photographer.

That's rigth but your forget that this guy is crazy :dancing: .

Yes I probably saw Shabok post it then. He is indeed very good.

Camera Courage is there place where mountain bike photographers hang out. Great site. Hope it's up again soon.

My two favorite riders of all times and my 2 fave photos of them in action...

Lopes 1997 Kamikaze-once he figured out how to ride Kami.


Leigh Donovan 1999, Slovenia World Cup, 2nd place to Anne Caro with no goggles.
