Wow, awesome event!

http://www.hilltopgrasshopper.com/

This was an all kids mountain bike race at Hilltop Reservation in North Caldwell (yes, that IS in Essex County). Great weather, great event, great showing and great race!

I got some awesome pictures I’d like to share with all the kids that raced, they are totally free. Feel free to do with them as you please. The prints ordered off my site are very cheap as well, or just download your full size photo.

2010 Darkhorse 40

At this point, I’m stunned. A Stewart race that had great weather. What’s going on this year? Great weather consistently!

And another Maddawg race that goes flawlessly and super super fun.

Check out the “Bonus” pictures for after race photos and some of you lucky mid pack riders will get a cool wide angle shot of yourself for free. I was trying to get a 2nd shot of a friend of mine and I used you riders to set up the shot nicely, so about 20 of you will be happy Leave a note on the blog or on your picture if you got a freebie.

Anyway, pics:

2009/04/15 South Mountain Road Race

I’ve never shot a road event before, it’s a lot harder than I though. Too many skinny guys going too fast too tight together, really hard to get them in focus. It’s hard to get a nice clean shot or keep track of who I got a shot of last lap. I’m looking forward to next week for some more practice.
Check out the photos, let me know what you think.
