Sequence Saturday 53
When I'm shooting trail shots I sometimes have to search a little for the perfect spot. A couple of years ago while I was shooting with Kirt Voreis for Fox we found this section of trail in Bend Oregon that was pretty awesome, and it looked like the afternoon sun would hit it perfectly. When Kirt started to hammer down the trail he'd pull up a cloud of dust which looked great, but I wasn't sure exactly which of the many small corners on the trail would look the best for a single shot. Whenever I have a question about an exact spot, or the exact moment in a trick, I bump my Nikon D4 up to 11 frames per second (this was shot with a Nikon D3s) and shoot off a sequence. This allows me to go through and look at every moment and see what looks best. I often do this several times from different angles until I'm happy, then I set up lights and get to work on shooting a single banger shot. Check out the sequence below, this was the first sequence I shot of Kirt on this section of trail and he's absolutely destroying it. The final shot we decided on was from a spot on the trail just after the location in the last frame of the sequence, and from a slightly different angle. You can see it at the end of the sequence as it appeared in the catalog and on the website.

Lucky Voreis!
I bet there is some simple reverse psychology or something that would stop this from getting tonnes of negative props while the extremely "meta" comment that fallows narrating my role in all this though the words of david Attenborough gets thousands. But i think i have already stirred up enough hate here to make that just beyond my grasp.
I'm not saying I've been original. I am mostly certainly farthest from it, and I'm sure the majority of people with a modicum of intelligence can fathom this for themselves without needing to read your condescending and elitist diatribe. I never said it was hilarious or original, I just wrote the first thing that came into my head, as trite as it may seem to you.
Humans have been capable of progressive thought for a long time now, and if one could search through that immense sum of human thought, do you really think there's anything I, or anyone else, could say today that could possibly be considered 'original' and independent of all knowledge that preceded it? I doubt it.
So, if I may put this delicately, f*ck off.
...4.6''
I didn't know this was a running gag. This probably comes down to the fact that I don't frivolously spend my time trawling the internet tallying how many times someone has said 'x'. You must have a real difficult time whenever you open your browser of choice; seeing tired memes, viral videos and sassy overplayed one-liners everywhere you look. Do you call them all out? No, don't answer that, because I'd like you comply with my previous request: f*ck off.
Actually, it looks like it's for protection from moto-roost. Great.
P.S. I want to win this contest for my boyfriend so he can have that vest and do those jumps you all wanna see without getting some gnarly road rash.
