Thought I would post this up on here for you all to have a look at. Shots taken from the monster stunt spectacular for Bonfire night up in Bradford.

First time I've ever done any shooting in those conditions (wet, cold, dark with stadium lights), but hopefully I've done the guys justice.

Conditions were pretty tricky for them too with a nicely cambered surface that was damp and from the look of things, a little bit dirty/muddy too.

a few shots from the gallery where I've put them on Facebook. was a big crowd, and tried to show the crowd rather than close up crops on the action

 

There are some sweet pics you are the man.

 

Cheers mate. Glad you like them.

Have a few more shots of some of the other action to share too

those mad FMX boys:











Full extension

 

Paul you rock dude!

Big thanks to you for making the effort to turn up to our shows

 

Cheers mate, well done to you guys too for putting on such a good display given the conditions lol. I know I wouldn't have wanted to try it myself.

As for making the effort to turn up to your shows it goes in my favour too as it gets my name out there a bit more which is never a bad thing (so long as people keep enjoying the results of course lol)

 

Awesome pics as always paul really appreciate ya coming along again.
The guy doing back flips in the fmx came off in practise because the landing ramp was slippery , Then gary came off and broke his wrist because of the slippery ramp, next thing ya know he is doing back flips again wow !!! That takes ***** and he was on a ramp he had never used before

 

Thanks a lot mark, I was a bit nervous about how they would come out given the lovely conditions and my lack of experience with them. sadly they aren't too hot full size but not too bad for showing off online, and hopefully I have some which can be used to promote the event if required

I guess with the FMX guys it is like one of you coming off attempting a stunt. if you wait too long to get back on it might effect you more than if you just keep on going.

I know they aren't really the right topic as such for this forum, but here are some of the monster trucks in action













awesome machines

 

That monster truck isn't even as high as Billys' old Dodge

 

Sweet pics mate


Good job with the weather and light

 

Cheers mate. was freezing by the end of it lol. I braved Saturday at Santa pod in just the T-shirt and high viz, but on friday I hadt-shirt, fleece, waterproof coat, high-viz, hat and was still chilly lol

 

Yey, awesome work cheers for setting them up

Great shots... those fmx boys put on a great show.

 

Big thanks to the Skard4life crew by the way!!!! Very happy to have ridden with you guys

 

Cheers Nick. was a good night all round





(Apart from losing the lens cap from my new wide angle lens and having to be very careful taking it home in the car to make sure it didn't get damaged lol)

 

Looks like you boys had a great night
