Wellington MX N00B here

yeah really enjoyed that ride. bit like the sand country ride. nice, flowing easy ride that you could just have fun on with jumps and sliding round.

bummed we couldn't do a 3rd loop, saw the car park then my mate hit the mud about 500 meters from home and it took a while to pull him and a couple of others out.

and that fence right behind him is live! only touched it three times.

What a great photo!! Completely sums it up doesnt it? The guy I was riding with came off in that bog too (there was a pipe hidden somewhere under that mud and he hit it!) and then got zapped quite a few times by the electric fence too, I think it happened to a lot of people!
It was a really good ride, nice to have something easy for a change.
Sounds like everyone who went really enjoyed it!

Ahhhhhhh when we came round on our last loop, they were cordoning that last bit off and they sent us round the paddock.
Both my boy and my cousin slammed there too!!!!! They claimed there was a drain that had got them........They were a LOT muddier than your mate though LOL

Awesome pic mate, I was pretty easy to spot as the boy put BRIGHT pink grips on my bike LOL
Come say hi next time!!!

Right, well yesterday, we headed up to Brooklyn and after I had ridden enough, I got behind the camera and took some shots of the guys and gals on their bikes.

I havent taken any MX pics before and would like some feedback (constructive please) on what people want to see.

I took them all on the same philosophy that the bmxers and skaters have told me to use.
While they like the odd arty close up shot, I've been told many a time, that they prefer to see the person, the board/bike AND the obstacle or jump so that they can see the trick as well as the height, or what they are doing the trick off.

I dont know if thats what MX riders want to see though, so would be cool to have a bit of feedback or some things to watch for when snapping pics of motorbikey people.

Link to the pics is here......

Cool pix, thanks for posting....

Re what people like... Unless your aim is to sell your photos, it doesn't really matter what people want, just take the shots YOU like and you will develop a style that pleases you

Most important is that you keep posting them here for us to enjoy........

I like close ups and blurred backgrounds/wheels........

Yesterday I was helping out the other half, he was wanting to see how high people went.
Will be interesting to hear feedback though as although everyone has their own style and likes/dislikes, sucks to take pics then have everyone bored as hell looking at them LOL
