Beacon Blastoff #2

[derekpearson]

Thanks for all your interest. Ill put some shots up here as I have time. I'm still going through Sea Otter shots and catching up at work at the same time. But I will reply to your emails as soon as I can!
To get a preview of your shots, as always please email me with your NUMBER and RACE in the Subject line! :)

for example 34 DH or 213 XC

This helps me scan much faster and will be sure to get your preview to you sooner!

[SebringMGB]

i cant really even remeber what happened.... i think i did a front flip onto my back while on the bike. it was a HARD landing. but i got up and nothing hurt, looked forward and saw you standing there with the camera. all i could think was "god i hope thats on film :)"

Personally i think if you really wanted to be faster you'd paint it pink. that way you learn to ride faster so the rednecks chasing you dont catch up and beat you up........
