Red Bull X-Fighters

Ft. Worth is hot.

The dream team was re-assembled from the New Years Eve show in Las Vegas to capture the freestyle motocross action of Red Bull X-Fighters here in Ft. Worth, Texas.
Here are some exaggerated facts.
1. Hot and humid. Estimated at 200 degrees.
2. Giant course. Lots of cow pies in the pits.
3. Sinclair was measuring one of the jumps for a double backie attempt.
4. Staying with the legend RVE.
5. It feels too much like X Games; catering and all.
6. My dad is randomly in Dallas, only 30 mins away at a conference. And as luck would have it, our schedules are exactly opposite. He is done at 8pm, I start at 8pm.  See you on Labor Day.
7. Everyone has a 5dMk2. Well not everyone. But half of us are rocking the pro-sumer body at night because the hi-ISO in incredible. I was shooting at 6400 last night and it was crispy. Can’t stand the 9-point AF system though.

More soon.
