:: MSC No 8 - ELDORA ESCAPE

Avoiding the Rain and lightning, this year's race managed to end just as the thunder clouds were rolling in. Not as muddy as last year's race. The camera was hoping for some more sloppy mud shots. The tires on those single speed and gear driven bikes loved the sticky terrain keeping the riders up right.

VAST captured several steazy riders taking to flight over a nice rock n roller.

:: DNC MESA 2008 - CREATIVE PROTEST ON A GIGANTIC SCALE

Stretching out from Denver as far as Golden, the DNC protesters show their talent by sculpting a giant, "DNC", with the words "Destoys uNborn Children" written on the side of North Table top. Viewable from miles away, this is certain to make an impact. As I was shooting, spectators drove by honking their horns in approval.

:: MSC No 7 - SNOWMASS G3

We only shot Saturdays DH and SD races.

The Mountain States Cup returned to Snowmass Village August 9-10 for the first G3 format race of the season.

Nearly 150 racers showed up for event, and 40 percent of the athletes were junior racers.
