You aways make these two wheeler look very exciting. Nice work as usual Lori. Love that second shot, their really leaning into that turn.
Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

Is that an Aprilia SV550? That's a very, very cool bike, especially to me coming from motocross! Was it able to keep up with those bigger bikes? Anyway, last one is my favorite as well; great take!
Absolutely! They haven't built their pro track yet have they? I assume they'll be doing this more like a vintage style MX where it's natural terrain with a couple little jumps scattered in? I am so pumped... I haven't seen an MX race in person in a few years, how sad! In a perfect world we'd have Bob Hannah fly in on his P-51D race plane, then run the MX race on his old Yamaha. Man wouldn't that be awesome; we can dream right?
You torture me with anticipation! I'm not sure I've mentioned how much I love MX... my brother and I used to race ourselves, back about 5 years ago. We've been to the Atlanta Supercross 7 years in a row, and in 2002 we drove up to Ohio to see the Kenworthy's MX - the same season in which Ricky Carmichael went undefeated (the first time; he did it again in '04). At that time, Ohio was the closest race to here. Today I think it's somewhere in Texas. Not close to say the least (~10 hours driving for anyone reading). Barber building a pro track and presumably bringing AMA pro MX here will be AWESOME, both for me personally and for the region as a whole - the Georgia Dome sells out ~70,000 people every year for Supercross.
I can't wait... I'm so pumped about this weekend! And I'm going to bring my 1956 Ricohflex so I can get some shots with a period camera as well.
