Trials and tribulations-Geddit

[Kev M]

Decided to revisit a trials event I went to a year ago when I first got the mighty 5D (not the pony old canon 5D either;) ) Very repetetive work trying to get every riders photo but need must. Thankfully I've got the flash gun now because the sun was always either side on or behind the riders and because the only way to get eye contact is to lay on the floor (trials riders faces are always looking at the front wheel with a peak getting in the way) my fleece is now smelling of rabbit pooh.

Anyways, C&C appreciated as always, feel free to be brutal.

When trials goes bad, if only I wasn't zoomed in so close to start with:

and the all important people without whom grass roots motorsport wouldn't exist. Much prettier than the gurning trials riders too:D

Very nice Kev, I take pride in seeing these as I was a former trials rider myself for many years..:)

Pity about the lad coming to grief, you missed him by a whisker but made up for it with the gorgeous female observer..:love:


[EDIT]

Just noticed the Pre 65 class bike is a Triumph tiger cub 200cc.

I used to ride one of those when they were built new..:help:

Great series :)

I prefer the ones where you can see more as the riders are concentrating but I can't see what challenge they are facing in the close ups.

Very nice set and well exposed too. #7 is my favourite, superb
