British Downhill MTB at Llangollen

I have been mountain biking for years, but never shot a race, so took the opportunity last weekend to point my Fuji kit at some of the best riders in the country. Here are a few of my favourites:

I may be biased because we share a surname, but I was impressed by Ethan Craik's sneaky line down the grass on this section.

I liked the framing of the rider under the tree.

Steve Peat is a legend of the sport, it was great to be able to photograph him racing.

Nice set. I'd love to give this a go. Did you need accreditation.

That all looks very exciting. You've captured some great action shots there Lewis

The mid air No.2 picture is my choice, wonderful

Thanks, this was all from the spectator area, which was where the accredited photographers were shooting from too.

Nice set, IMHO you have captured the action superbly
#2 is my vote !
Reminded me of the riding my Bonneville up and down the Horseshoe pass at LLangollen

I did take a detour over the Horseshoe Pass on my way over. I stopped for breakfast at the Ponderosa Cafe at the top of the pass - I think I was the only one up there without a motorbike helmet!
