This weeks sequence comes to us from Christoph Laue.
There are some different reasons for shooting a sequence. First of all, you don't always know what trick the rider will try. And of course the sequence allows you to show combinations, for example barspin to tailwhip. A sequence also shows all the doubters that the whole trick was ridden out by the rider.
For most photographers, it is an unwritten law to show tricks that were landed and not crashed. That is why I chose the sequence to show that this FMX trick was ridden out on a bike.
The Flip Cordova, which has its origin in the FMX scene, used to be quite unknown in the dirt scene and Nico Scholze is one of the first riders to nail it. I chose to shoot a sequence with Nico to explain the whole movement of the trick. The sequence was taken with an low frame rate speed so that the pictures don't overlap each other.
Here are some words from Nico Scholze himself.
 | Hi guys, I want to tell you something about my new trick called backflip cordova. I've seen this trick many times on the moto but I never thought this could be done on the bicycle. But we had one weekend with a nice foam pit, and guess what! I tried it twice and it worked. I landed on dirt pedal to pedal and I'm looking forward to check the fmx-tricklist and going to try many new fmx-moves never done before on a bicycle. |
