Targhee Downhill Series: Race 2

Last Sunday was the second race in the three-part Targhee Downhill Series. This time the expert category went over the challenging Buffalo Drop. Lots of big air, crashes, speed and good times. Congrats to all who entered the race. Stay tuned for race #3 taking place on September 12...

Targhee Downhill Series

Mountain biking is seriously the big thing around here in the summer. People treat it like skiing sometimes. I used to own a mountain bike, but was constantly afraid of the fact that if I fell, it was onto sticks and stones and not snow -- resulting in a lot more injuries. Nevertheless, I am now contributing to Influence Magazine and I will be open to shooting any type of adventure sport. Except for maybe ice climbing. I really don't ever see myself doing that...

This weekend David, Robin and I headed over the pass to Grand Targhee resort where the Wydaho mountain bike festival was going on. Sunday culminated in a downhill mountain biking race - the first of three in a series.

Here are some epic shots from the race:

Nicholas Deak - 2nd Place Sport 19-29

Eric Brecheen - Expert 18 & under category

Scott Fitzgerald - 2nd place Expert 30-39

Tim Meyer - third place in men's 19-29 expert category.
