A few from Saturday. C&C always welcome. It was my buddy Mikes first time riding here, he is ok but sore.

We are @ South Sea-Tac park just south of Sea-Tac airport in Seattle.
The first shot She is looking at the line she was going to hit and I like the way she was framed by the trees.
Thanks, Jimmy

According to the forum I haven't posted for a while and it's suggested I do so. Well I've been too busy doing what's in the photos, to be actually taking any. However I did get a nice back pack camera bag for my birthday so I'll be taking my camera on some rides now.

As for the photos, I think you did a good job there Jimmy. I do think the first one is a bit underexposed, but not too much. I love the expression on the girls face who is helping Mike. That's just priceless. It just screams "Why weren't you wearing your full face helmet Mike?" At least he didn't get hurt too bad. I really like the multiple exposure shot. I really want to try some of those, but I still don't have a tripod yet. Plus that means less riding and that's always a tough call. I hear you're getting your big bike back soon so maybe I'll be able to get some shots of you???

Thanks Tad, I would like to get some shots of you and your sweaty and the rest of the crew.
I do think lighting in the evening make for some better shots but it's harsh on the riders.Leslie Z. was tending to Mike. This was Mikes first time on flat pedals in a long time.
Looks like I need to order a chest protector, so when the big bike gets back in my hands:-)

Gee, I hope you meant my sweety and not my sweaty. Here's a couple I took of her at SST.

Here's one of Jon before he broke his hand.

The evening light is better for photography and there's only a brief period of time that it's in our eyes so it's not too bad. It does get dark in there now that the leaves on all the trees have filled in. Definitely need a flash in there now. We won't be there this weekend, but almost certainly one day next week for a warmup before we head to North Shore. I'll definitely bring my camera next time. I'd like to take it to the Shore, but I can't risk it so I'll only take my P&S.

You better get some more armor as you're going to need it at Whistler :D

Good stuff, Jimmy! I would love to ride the Sea-Tac trails. It looks like they've really built it up. I've ridden 27 and 38 (I think those are the names), but it's been a few years since I've been in Seattle.

I just moved to Salt Lake City and am psyched about the riding and photo opportunities here. I've only scratched the surface, but here's one from my first exploration of the I Street jump spot. It's got a great background and lots of jump variety. Unfortunately, the one thing it doesn't have is views of the snowy Wasatch for a background. That's a bummer.

It's amazing how much they packed into that place, but you have to be careful when it's busy as so many lines cross each other now. We just rode the unmentionable 27 last night and it's quite nice. If you ever make it back up to Seattle let us know and we can show you some of the new fun stuff that we can't talk about :thumbsup:

Thanks John, Need to work on getting the pics a little brighter. Tad and the unmentionables, Sounds as bad as The Stealth Ride :-)
John i will be down your way in July? NO Bike or Camera, working my part time job. We'll be out at Miller motorsports park. JB
