Have been working as a mechanic for the Pivot factory racing DH team this year, and normally too busy to take many photos at world cups etc, but was wrenching for Bernard Kerr, who just won Hardline. Managed to spent a lot of time on the course during practise, as it was a lot more relaxed with just one rider and bike. It was nice not to have to contend with the crowds, and be hanging out with the riders as they hit these massive features for the first times.
Only had a 20mm lens with me, so interesting having to look at everything in a wide-angle perspective.
