Those yellow track markers are really lame. I remember the first year at Lakewood all the riders were running them over at the start of the downhill sweeper. There were about 5 or 6 missing by the end of practice. With all the banners what is the point?
Bitchin shot minus the yellow crap. The section is really fast and it gets chop like no other yet they keep it pinned.
But you should try shooting from the standpoint of the average fan, some idiot waving in front of you, someone next to you bumping into you and spilling his beer on your camera, then trying to shoot over the head of said pro photographers and the yellow stakes! haha

Gotcha. If you're going to the trouble of removing the stake, why not get the cable holding up the overhead structure, too?

Haha.. very true. I think you can get away with a cable, but the stakes are just annoying. Seems like they draw your attention away from the photo. I had a problem with some at Hangtown and I was shooting from the fence. I really don't see that big of a use for them. The riders just blow through them anyways.
Emig owns him though in the bar drag photo competition.
I wasn't trying to compare the two. Emig's was more of a corner, this was a kink in a straightaway, and an interesting direction change...while still being pretty flat.
The really *REALLY* good news is that I don't have any photos of your nutsack. Besides, in your case, I wouldn't say I hate those stakes (the wooden kind), but I would fear them.

Good action shot none the less.

Great shot, minus the stake.
At the GP's we also have the green fencing to deal with. Can be really annoying.

That section is really fast, and Josh was killing it there.

Really nice shot by the way!!!
Photoshopping the markers works, but it's always nice to not even have it in the shot.
Anyone remove one that came loose and was in your shot?
Yes, I know they flip down.
It looks like he's pulling about 5 G's railing that sucker! haha
