I shot a BMX contest this past weekend in Orlando. Some of the riders are friends of mine, and some arent. It comes in two parts. Enjoy...

Nice work Dustin. The editing is pretty slick and I reaally like the way you panned off after some of the tricks instead of just cutting. Shows you are really thinking about your shots and that you know your subject matter well. It would have been a little better if it was better lit but there wasn't much you could have donne there. Basically a couple of very pro looking clips.

That DC wall made for some sick wall rides and I liked the stacks at the end. I've just finished building a single speed hardtail MTB and have been sessioning my local park so seeing those guys coming unstuck makes me feel better about my lack of skills.

Yea I was in the crowd most of the time. Untill I got tired of trying to find a spot to shoot during the Pro finals (too many people rushed in to watch), so I made my own media pass so that I could get on top of the wall without security jumping up my butt.

Thanks for all the compliments!

Is it worth going to the roots jams?
The 360 handplant was crazy!!!
then i guess you would call it a 360 tailtap tailwhip on the spine was insane also.
Really nicely done!!!!
