Ground Zero. The aftermath. 56k no.

[northendtrooper]

Wow I was blown away from the event that took place today. I showed up at 10am and hardly anyone was around. But as the day dragged on about Noonish, there was a good 200+ people to spectate. I want to thank the guys at 2moto.com and ramon for inviting me to do some photos for them.

1st and foremost, taking shots in sunny blue skis and snow do not mix at all. I was very impressed on how these turned out for the conditions. After watching the races I want one myself *cough* rig the raffle :D

After party. I got to talk to some guys who are very interested in some of my photos. Looks like some might make into a magazine. No I didn't typo that.

Pretty sweet wish i could have gone. Looks like everything went well. Hopefully this was the kickoff to a great new winter racing series.

[bcool]

So was the speed coverage of this live or can we see it on another date?

[Livestrong]

That first KTM was in the back of a truck parked at my work a few weeks back. Sick bike for sure!

[d_moss]

I want. moar pics of the turbo bike.

[spooledx2]

Thanks again Austin, great work. I usually run around with a bike or two in the back of my truck. Black lifted Dodge, but other guys from the shop do too so its hard to say.

I will keep you guys updated on the demos, and when the speed coverage will air.

Here is a link to the results.
