I was scanning threw the Sports threads and did not see a more communal "Action" sports thread. Lets see the work that you are the most proud of and maybe the work you need some help with.

Heres one, I cant get them to show.

Does flickr do this to everyone?

Goontz · Oct 5, 2009

People post here via flickr all the time. You'll need to use

tags.

so would that be a one-footed unturndown or invert? is the foot off because of the larger frame? either way i like that! (i'm a bmx'er, btw)

i'll have to post up some of my stuff, but here is one...

Different people call it different things but its a unturndown. the foot comes off because of the frame size. BMX is rad I want to see more of your stuff.

I get bored with shooting the same places over and over again, so I try to mix it up a bit, but where the riding is good is where the riders are stoked and I think that makes for the best photos.

I hate shooting the same places over and over. Unfortunately, since we somewhat recently got a public skatepark, most everyone has been riding there. Anytime we try to get out and ride some street, we get busted.

Also, in Eastern Tennessee we rarely have deep blue skies which is real bummer...

Don't mind the massive "signature/watermark" that was a bad phase....

I'm also noticing how bland these shots look on my computer at work....hmmmm..... They have very little contrast and saturation, gotta check out my save settings at home.

Here's a few of mine in no order, not my best

Quite a verity of shots you have there. I like the one looking down at the horse in the water. Good comp and just a photo I personally have not seen before.

Thats the thing about riding photos, you are at the whim of your riders. Shooting street is skechy, you have to be very mobil.

I like the first image in that set. although I wish his tires were clearing the pillar just so we could have that separation and I think it would make the shadow on the left stronger as well.
