Went out today and did some DH photos here in Cranbrook! Used my Pentax K20D with my Sigma 70-200mm for most of these shots, I also used Alien B400 for some of the life style shots.

Davidt, I am amazed you can freeze the motion at 1/250 with your strobes! What settings did you use for your shots?

By closing up the Aperture at 250 you can basically freeze the action... anything lower than 5.6 @ 250 you will get motion blur, at least that's how it's always worked for me....
I used only 1 strobe for this shoot. i only used it as a fill flash because we had tons of Sunlight.... Here's my Flash set up:
