It was a warm day out today for the CCCX DH #5 racers, fans, and photographers. I’m not sure what the temp was at the park, but I did see that my car indicated 100 while I was driving through Morgan Hill on the way home.
The course seemed pretty loose & sandy today, especially in the technical sections. I saw a couple riders tires slide out while they were going through the loose stuff. I caught a couple slow motion crashes on camera, and at the end of the day I caught the “second before the crash” for one rider, then had deja vu while watching the next rider crash at the exact same spot and fashion. Luckily he decided to crash on the other side of the trail so he didn’t crash into us. Of course, I don’t think he planned on that. Good to know both riders were ok, as I chatted a bit with them in the medics tent after.
I tried to get a variety of images by moving up & down the course throughout the day. I personally like a good variety
