Twenty Four Seven DH Race

Postby Cobra » Mon Oct 16, 2006 10:50 am

As promised Nemo ;) Some pictures from the Twenty Four Seven Downhill street race is Bridgeport. We went up there this weekend to get some coverage for the site, thought i would share some of the pictures...

Was a cool day, and its great being 'press' as you get to walk on the track, unlike Joe public who have to stand behind railings lol Big disappointment was Steve Peat (world cup DH Champion) didn't show up for the event, so we didnt get to interview him  :(

Sorry for the quality! (didnt have raw files so had to take pictures straight from the site (already compressed) and compress again!!

Hope you enjoyed :)

Very nice shots there Mike,
maybe next time there's an event like this on, and if i'm on the road i might pop down and take some photo's for your site?

Very nice shots again.

Cheers guys :)

Yeh Lilley, we can go pretty fast! Normally you put on some armour and your fine though, but not on this course! It was seriously sketch, the riders were flying down these thin alleys with metal posts etc all around. If you go down there is literally no 'soft option', your gonna hit something very hard!!

Yeh that would be cool Nemo! So if anything comes your way that would be great :)
