Danny Smith - 2007 Arenacross National Champion started the year in Des-Moines Iowa for the 2008 Arenacross national series by pulling the holeshot and leading every lap. in the photo below Smith has 3 turns to go on the final lap riding under the spotlight. Lurking
in the darkness creeping up like a cat ready
Demuth takes the Win in last turn
to pounce bike #35 Josh Demuth played spoiler in the final turn on the face of the final jump as Demuth took the inside line away from Smith sending him to the ground, As Danny SMith re-mounted he
was able to salvage 4th place, just missing 3rd with Kelly smith getting the advantage on the last jump by inches.
It was one of the most exciting races to watch and it was even more exciting being able to photograph this event.
Smith is misses 3rd by inches.
.......Sometimes a photo or a series of photos are destined to be more that just a photo. Like the old saying goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words." I believe this to be true in more ways than one. I love the art that a photo can become and I enjoy the interaction with the riders and being able to share the experience through the photos I take.. I love the sport of motorcycle racing and as an Ex-Professional racer I have that racers eye and find myself in the right place at the right time. With several photos published in several magazines and dozens of professional websites, I strive to deliver better photos each and every time I shoot at an event. The sport has given me so much over the years, I am grateful that I am having the chance to give back to the sport I have lived my entire life in and around......
Here are a few miscellaneous Motorcycle racing photos from the 2008 Racing Season.
I believe there is so much more to racing that most will overlook - So i have included photos of different aspects of racing, from the track to the riders there is a good mix of photos that capture the sport for what it really is. It's allot of fun and there is allot going on from the perspective of each rider. Hopefully I have captured their moment and am able to share with you some of the feelings that give this sport, motorcycle racing it's true essence. A few of the riders in this series of photos include, Danny Smith, Chad Johnson, Kevin Johnson, Teddy Maier, Josh Demuth, Team Faith, Bri Sitles and more.
