Toby Forte, Hannu Cools, Quentin de Martelaere and others on MX trails

Last 3 weeks or so, we've seen some stellar weather in Belgium, and last monday it was still at it's peak. 27°C, blue sky, and some of the best trails in the country. Throw some seasoned international dirt pro's in the mix, and you've got yourself a banger session.
I'm not gonna waste any more words on this one, and just let the pictures speak for themselves.

(aan Hannu: je mag de foto's die hier staan gebruiken, zorg gewoon dat mijn naam vermeld blijft.)

MX Trails

This week, and past weekend, we make a few trips to the MX trails, home to legends like Timo, Greg, Sven, Nico Vinck and more.

These are also my first pictures with my "new" external flash. It's a huge Metz 45 CT-1, probably over 30 years old. it needed some fixing, and still doesn't function quite correctly, but still I'm quite pleased with the outcome. It communicates with my camera through a 4meter long wire, so I can move it around for different results. Oh the joy of experimenting!

anyway, here are the pics, enjoy!


Timo, shaping the masterpieces:

Greg:



almost like and album cover:



little dude doing a big turndown (I'd like to know his name, if you know, post it in a comment):



nico, doing a crazy hip transfer/spine jump. both lip and landing are about 3meters high, and the transfer is at least 3 and a half meters far. sick!



greg, again doing what he's good at:



daarek, first time taking the big jump. BIG airtime!
