Why would one of Canada's top down hill racers need to pose something like this? It's not fake I can promise you that.

I think that this pic would actually be harder to pose for than to take the shot while in motion. I mean, could you imagine getting into that position from a track-stand? That would be stupid hard.

i know! i made a totally sarcastic comment about another totally sarcastic comment. i actually think that this has to be one of the better DH pictures ive seen- it would easily make cover of any mag simply by the art of the photo. i had hoped that the inanity of my comment would lead people to believe that i wasnt serious in the least. oh well!

props for the photo, and great riding style

it draws the eye in

flag racealot (Jun 30, 2008 at 8:42)
The effect was done exactly the way I wanted it too, I intentionally cranked down the 'vibrance' of the photo, for those that know Quinn, it shows his style and personality, low key and not over exposed, but with suttle hints that shows a racer that will kick ass down any race course. I develope my photos with the riders full spectrum in mind, not just to look cool... With the majority of the comments above, they see the same thing.. thanks guys, hopefully I will have hundreds from the Psychosis event in less than a week!!
