We are running a story in Metro Pulse in a couple of weeks about bicycling. Everyone thought it would be cool to do something beyond the generic “I-commute-to-work-I-am-so-green” story. So, we are doing a story on BMX, BMX! It should turn out really awesome. The writer(s) has a really cool style, and he is really into doing the story. Enough, you’ll just have to read it…

The “whatdya think” come from a sequence of photos I took at the park (while getting as many BMX shots as possible). There is this really rad skater that seriously shreds at the park. I took a few shots of him doing a huge (please don’t hate me for this description) nose-grab 360. Unfortunately, the first and best time he landed it, I missed the shot. DAMN! “One more time” I said. I think he wanted to punch me in the face!

Finally, he ablidged and pulled it clean. Though not as big as the first time, but still, clean.

Because I took all the photos horizontally, it didn’t “stitch” together very well since I moved the camera so much to follow him. I wanted to show the entire sequence, so I layed it out as smaller photos on one main image. It was a quick idea, and could easily have been done with more style and creativity, but it’s late and I wanted to show this idea off.

Give me your feedback, or else!

P.S. I am gonna hold off on some of the bmx shots, cause I want to see what is gonna run in the paper. I’ll post up whatever doesn’t!
