Seeing as I'm not able to ride my bike properly due to my torn ACL, and helped bythe fact that I have a ticket left to the park for the season, I took a trip with my mates over the weekend to Whistler to capture them on 'film'.......

Filthy Ape - a double black diamond (bike runs are graded the same as ski runs) line down a convex rockface. The bottom is not visible until after the point of no return, so its a real head game..... creep creep creep, spot the end of the line and let go of the brakes! Shocked

Signature Whistler Wall ride shots. Whistler valley bottom is seen, along with the Coastal Mountain range.

Not normally a fan of selective colouring, but buddy here was very demanding!

And some second curtain sync'ed flash work:

Enjoy!

Those are all spot on. Damn that camera school you go to!! Very Happy

Wish I could do the same.

Like them all but wouldn't want to be on those bikes!
