Jul 16, 2010

Scandinavian Photo Challenge Awards was held this saturday night at the Holiday Club Arena, a stone's throw from Åresjön (Åre, Sweden). No less than 300 visitors enjoyed the magnificent slide shows from the teams, a total of five.
The level of the contributions was very high and it was quite obvious that both photographers and riders are among the best in the world. The amazing pictures showed a more beautiful Åre than ever seen before and tons of magnificient riding.

Amazing shots inside!

Team Canaska with photographer Dan Barham (www.danbarham.com) at the head won the over all in this tough and popular contest. The team included four phenomenally talented cyclists, namely Robin Wallner (Sweden), Linus Sjöholm (Sweden), Mike Hopkins (Canada) and John Högman Alm (Sweden).
