Earlier this month I was up at Copper Mountain shooting the United States of America Snowboard Association Nationals. For eight days I was stationed on the lower half of the boardercross/skiercross course mostly shooting stock action of each of the competitors for Vast Action.
In an effort to shoot practically every single participant I was somewhat limited with where I could go and how I could shoot. It wasn't hard to complete the assignment but it definitely was a struggle at times to wrangle in my creativity and shoot with the client in mind.
Having seen similar events at the X Games I anticipated much more rubbin' and racin' than I actually saw. Most of the competitors were fairly spread out by the time that they got to my end of the course but I still saw my fair share of epic crashes. Some had to be carted off by ski patrol and to my surprise several got back up and finished the race.
The snowboard/ski season is winding down around these parts and that's just fine with me. I'm anxious to get my tennis and golf games back in form.
