Not really. I was taking a nap after being up all night posting photos before catching the flight home at 6:00 am.

To get his attention all you had to do was send him a PM. No need to make it public. You started it, so don't start complaining that you had to argue with 50 people. Maybe if you showed some respect and went about it the right way it would have been fine.

The problem with people like you Adam is that instead of learning from others you become defensive. You probably have never ridden a MX bike in your life yet you will run your mouth like you know what you are talking about. You need to STFU. And its true GuyB needs to find out about MX reference , Its OK if you dont agree with me. I have only been doing this since 1972.
Ah I think I see what this is about.

This thread reminds me of track bashing threads on our local boards. It's too dry, it's too wet, it's too rough, it's too smooth. Some people are just malcontents and unfortunately, the internet has become their soap box.

You don't only suck at photography, you suck at not deleting things!

I could totally not delete things way better than you don't.

Geez Gibby. You can't take photo's for shit, and now you don't even know how to run a website. What is the world coming to. Tongue

I thought the key to proper MX photography was to always have the American flag in every photo?

I think I read that somewhere???

My opinion-
Steve has done a fantastic job at providing a unique channel to the sport we love. He’s done this by getting the hole shot on the competition. He has photos and bare bones details of what is happening in our sport and industry up on his site way before any other site most of the time (often within minutes of it happening). This simply couldn’t happen if he scrutinized every image and attempted to optimize each photo with hours of Photo Shop work. Used to be that Cycle News was the leader in the latest and greatest in our sport, I still read it to get more in depth info on riders and races, but it’s usually old news!

I also appreciate that he shares his behind the scenes insights into our sport while maintaining a pretty unbiased position. That is awfully hard to do and is a testament to his personal integrity. He also puts up with a lot of BS right here in his own playground, which just re-enforces my opinion of him. I have never met Steve, but I have nothing but respect and admiration for what he has built and his talents as a moto-journalist. The guy is super talented and has little or no ego, a rare combination!
Think about what it takes to do what he does. I have seen him at the track lugging around 50 lbs of very expensive camera gear in the mud and rain. He’s constantly on the move shooting from every inch of the track, placing himself at considerable risk of being landed on or ran over by riders.

If you’ve ever taken your digital camera to a National or SX, you now how easy it is to end up with 200-300 images from the week end. I would guess that Pro photogs are looking at 2000-3000 images per event to end up with maybe 20-30 that are useable. Think about going through that many images every week. (hell, I’ve got image folders from races 5 years ago that I still haven’t finished going through!) That’s just MX, he does other sports too!

99% of the members on here are decent folks and appreciate what Steve does, possibly the guy that started this post had good intentions, but failed to word it that way. Maybe there’s an opportunity for Steve to create an annual “Best of GuyB” and set up an area for those images or put them in a calendar or DVD or something along those lines when the season slows down for a few months between MX and SX.

I’d also love to see GuyB do a basic series on how to improve your trackside photography skills and some before and after images that were Photo shopped and what was done to them.

Anyways, keep up the good work Steve! I for one am grateful to have free access to VitalMX.

Croom usually has good friendly posts. I haven't noticed him attacking people like a few on here. Wonder what happened?
