Race Day Photo Epic: Finale Ligure EDR World Cup 2024
@davetrumpore: Yep my autofocus struggles with riders coming straight at me at any kind of pace. Its ok if they are climbing! Basic Pentax from about 8 years ago. Maybe its time to upgrade.

Race Day Photo Epic: Finale Ligure EDR World Cup 2024
@davetrumpore: Dave - I have admired your photography on PB for years. I also take amateur photos of riders at Whistler Toonies and other events. My own efforts have shown me - I dont have the touch you have, and its really hard to capture the action well and my riders are going half the speed of any at a world cup event.
I also use manual focus, guessing where the rider will be on track, and fire the shutter when I hope they are in the right spot. I usually end up with them slightly out of focus as either side of the sweet spot which the shutter missed!

I know right - why aren't they all bare foot and pregnant and chained to the kitchen sink. What's next? The vote?

Video: Head to Head POVs from Vali Höll & Nina Hoffmann at the Fort William DH World Cup 2024
Looked to me that Vali road the jumps lower and hit the transitions better. But as Nina said at the race, she lost it on the top section - bit faster up there then the sections she was faster on would have counted for more.
Super cool to see the POVs synced up

[UPDATED] Video Round Up: Finale Ligure EDR World Cup 2024
Why can no one understand the logistics of trying to live cover an Enduro race. At any given moment people are spread over at least three race stages. The current leader might be on a different stage to the perceived top 10, the stages are long with multiple riders on track at the same time, sometimes all of the top ten riders might be on track at the same time. Live coverage would be a camera in one position panning back and forth between them.
I have been on course watching the EWS in Whistler for a number of years - I stood in one place and took pictures and ha da rider coming by every 10-15 seconds for best part of two hours. How do you even begin to get across the live story of a race like that? Even the live update timings are a mess to follow.

Allows a medium cage and more clearance perhaps? He's a big guy and can probably push that smaller gear for the climbs without issue.

RideWrap Launches Protection Film Made from Recycled Materials
I first got Ride Wrap when they were operating out of the kitchen in their place in Twin Lakes - my current bikes are both wrapped and I suspect my next will be too!

Elon prefers to take successful companies and run them into the ground rather than going in the other direction. He hates it when all the bad business decisions have already been made.
