Sequence Saturday 6

Feb 10, 2012 at 23:26
by Ian Hylands  
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.

bigquotesHi 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.

 as I was staring at this Saturdays sequence trying to come up with something cocky and witty to write in the comments I noticed that the top right hand corner of the take off glitches out at the end of the sequence and that's all I got .... im a little to crispy at the moment to think of anything better

 I don't know how was it possible, anyway that's one sick trick and decent seqence shot! No idea what's next, mountainbiking is still moving forward and I'm really scared about what we can see in next few years! I hope we will be amazed again and again just like this time Smile

 This trick's a real game changer, it allows for ample nut hang time. No longer will there be that awkward moment when nuts take rest. Nico is a true pioneer to the preservation of the dangle.

 See, I really needed to get into this yoga thing but i had to slowly edge my way into things, Starting out with a simple reverse back inverted downward arch in a high G force situation while flying through the air. You know, taking this easily.

 mountain biking is become fmx, this guy throwing down the cordoba backflip and there was that pic of the guy throwing the cliff hanger flip (was into foam but still). some mad progression going down atm
