Timed Train Tables
Got a new camera and wanted to make things complicated just for fun. I'd seen this angle a while back, but hadn't made use of it. We had a nice chilled session on Monday and noticed we ended up with 4 riders...so I got ready & sent my request to the boys. They kept going for ages to get as synched as possible. We didn't manage to get all the tables perfectly clicked before dark, but super happy on how this turned out.

calling POY on this one...... or at least half final, getting kicked out by a roast shot, or somebody doing a manual on top of a mountain.

@ericpalmer: This is seriously one of the best photos I've ever seen on PB. I love the composition, the timing, the use of the strobe, and the Photoshop work to blend it all together. Very nice work.

Nice shot was the flash sync at like 20,000 or what? Look pretty sharp for 125th on lead rider.....

Thanks!
I was on 250th, not 125th & always shoot with my flashes on 1/2 or lower to have a short duration to freeze the rider. If I zoom in on Justin (front rider) I'm sure there is a tiny silhouette blur in front of him, but riders slow down so much at the peak of the air that you don't need crazy fast speeds to freeze them.
