Mint pics. Damn, I'm going to have to head down there soon. Guys at work are keen to show off their skills I think.

I've never been on the MX track before

Great shots! KB15 is so well lit. If you don't mind me asking, what shutter speeds were they mostly shot at?

Thanx for the nfo. Are you using the popup or do you have a flash head? Really cool how you leave the shutter speed low and track the bike with the camera for controlled blurs. That must take a lot of practice and patience!

"On any Wednesday" (with apologies to Bruce Brown....) you will see ALL abilities, no one cares what level you are at, so long as you're smiling under your helmet..

Ring "Raceline" 09 2680886 about 2.30pm before going, to make sure he's open.....

Cheers,

I don't use the pop up flash, I've got an old flash that recharges quickly and lasts ages because of big batteries. Also heaps more grunt than the pop up.. I'm aiming for a shiny white Canon lens and a 'flash' flash, but bikes still come first...

Well guys, we could all try and meet down there one Wednesday.
I would'nt worry about being new at Ardmore. As Climintie already said, there are all sorts riding. Well, thats what I've heard anyway.

Only one way to see for sure though. Even if you end up being the slowest rider out there, at least you're out there.

How about Wednesday week ie: Wed 17th Dec? I'm keen to check it out before xmas for some reason. Only a couple more weeks to go too.
