Motocross!

I love shooting sports and getting that perfect "capture". With the kids grown and out of high school now, there are less opportunities to get action shots. In the winter, there is snowmobile oval racing, now in the summer there is dirt bike racing. It's loud, dusty, fun to watch, and there are ample opportunities for stopping the action with a photo. The track is basically a series of jumps and turns. Instead of an oval, it twists and turns back on itself, so that you have racers going in all directions at the same time, but yet all going the same way. People of all ages, from little kids to middle age are participating.

Some young racers at the starting line.

Good Luck!!

They're off!

You definitely need goggles for this sport.

Keeping an eye on their racer.

Puppies are always good subjects for a photo.

Got some good air on that jump.

Four laps and it's done.

Lunch!

Lots of time to just hang out between races.

These little guys have their own track. There are jumps, but most of them aren't going fast enough to get off the ground very far.

Love this little girl's pink mohawk helmet.
