Mt Snow DH photos

It was a beautiful day, but roasting! All in all the conditions were great for people to go balls-out fast. I headed up to check out the semi-pro and pro DH.

(x-post from another forum)

Umass's own Jamie Ford, off to win men's semi pro.



























I saw this guy coming in all crooked and had about .036 seconds to get the F out of the way. The guys head hit the tree I was leaning on going god know's how fast. Everyone sort of gasped wondering if he was dead or what, but the guy just gets right up and finishes his run. Helmets are a good thing!!

I was a little confused myself, but I'm pretty sure that's him.

That's the new Sinister Jersey, as seen on 3 Semi-pro and 2 expert national podiums so far this season!

I take it the flash is very fast, and that freezes the rider?

Honestly, is the guy OK? He hit so hard, I seriously thought he might be dead for a second there.

A flash is like 1/10 000 of a second i think. It helps to freeze the rider and light everything up, ya. Panning does alot to "freeze" the rider as well as destroying the background to I don't get a ton of people in the shot. Helps to separate the rider from the BG.

I had 2 or 3 flashes going for most of the time i was there. Both on relatively low power. One on face/chest to light that up, and then a second one shooting wide angle to fill in the frame and rear wheel/back of the rider.

My interpretations of the above photos (b/c I know you want 'em :devil
Minnarr is getting his kit more Japanamized than ever...booohhh.
Herndon is wearing his armor.
Hill is too fast for the camera.
Anka looks bored.
Wentz is using max travel on the DH40
rider #26 saw you and popped air for the camera (styley!)

OH! And there is a sniper in the bushes behind Pruitt about to blow Fraser's head off!!!
