One of the challenges to a great photographer is always to catch a fantastic shot, and part of that is the background telling the story. Let's see some of your favorites with thousands of people watching!

I'm guessing a lot of them will be MXdN..

Can't find a decent picture now but Teutschenthal 2013 was the biggest crowd I have ever seen in person at an MX race. And I was at the Ernee mxdn too

It's always hard to tell, since some people come for the funfair or the beer, but it's pretty packed for miles.

Someone here will surely have pictures of Russian or other Iron Curtain GPs from the 70s Moiseev / Falta eras. - Reese most likely. I'm travelling so stuck on my phone and can't access my folders.

Now They were what you'd call 'sea of humanity', 'seething masses' pictures.

Always enjoyed this pic of Marty Smith chasing Gaston Rahier at the 76 belgian GP.
Probably because you can see how much spectator safety was a major concern back then.
