    Awesome report, Lee! Good to hear you pinned it, bro! I thought you'd be more a longer TT guy. I was really looking forward to checkin' out your new rig!

    I'm going to keep practicing those rubberband one-footed 70's BMX starts. :D And keep pushing my endurance levels...those between moto times get shorter and shorter!

    See everyone in two weeks! :beer:

    I hear ya on that! That's why I'm reluctant to move up to expert. Those youngin's have no problem helping someone hit the ground. And your class is even worse!

    I hope you feel better.

    Sorry again :(

    I am usually up the hill early in the morning for the start of practice and I stay up there until I really really have to pee, which is usually around the E or F class. I'll try drinking less coffee next time.

    Cool shot of you! There are some nice ones in each category.

    Did you look through the Sport men category? Maybe he just forgot to split it up.

    Justin wanted to send him an email, anyone have his contact info?

    I hate seeing photogs using flashes for a shot like this. It helps light up the eyes a bit but something I would sacrifice to not blind the rider! :(

    I work with him, what's your race # and I'll see if he has it. and Paulina's #

    I'll let him know about your guy's concerns with the flash, I didn't see him or the flash when I went by, he's still learning, just doing this for fun and to pay for his equipment.

    I think a lot of it has to do with where the flash is placed. You see a lot of photos from WC races where the photographers are using up to 3 flashes and not blinding the riders.

    There was a discussion about this on Ridemonkey a while back. Here's what one of the photographers had to say:

    I believe Drew (PhotoTurbo) was using an off camera flash for the November race. I never even saw it.

    BTW, thanks to all the photographers that have braved the elements in Fontana this year. :beer:
