Racer’s Road on the R1

Last Saturday Ian, Jason, and I went out to the country to ride. Here is my GoPro HD helmet-cam video of my ride on 1458 “Racer’s Road” with my R1.

Cupcake Meet 9

Cupcake meet 9, also known as the 2 year anniversary meet, had quite a showing of car enthusiasts this year on February 5th, 2011. The event was held at the Travis County Expo center in Austin and all kinds of stock and modified cars managed to fill up both outside and inside lots. The weather turned out to be very nice with a sunny day and decent temperatures.

Along with the car meet itself they also had drifting and stunt bikes. Event goers could even take rides in the drift cars. I was somewhat sad to see that both were located in the back of the complex and few attendees actually came back to support the drivers and riders. Despite that, it was great to see some old friends again. The meet was very enjoyable and I hope that the next Cupcake Meet will continue to grow and support the community.

As the sun was fading below the horizon the stunters continued to ride for the small crowd. In the light of a Nissan’s headlights, the riders did some of their best stunting of the day. The shooting condition was difficult to say the least. All of these photos were shot at 6400 ISO and 1/30th of a second shutter.

Late evening at Rio Bravo Motocross Park

Yesterday evening a friend and I decided to check out another Houston motocross park facility since we are always looking for new places to ride our dirt bikes. I brought my 5D Mark II along for fun to work on some low-light action photography. It was a cloudy evening and the sun was quickly setting so most of the photos were taken at ISO 3000 and higher. As far as the facility; everyone was super friendly and we will definitely be bringing our bikes out in the future! You can check out their website at: http://www.riobravomx.com
