Bike track day and BSB test @ Oulton Park 8.3.09

[mattsayle]

Some of these guys are mental. One of the BSB riders was out of his seat, on the back wheel and all over the front of his bike, with the throttle pinned back!! NUTTER!!! Made a good spectacle, however. They sounded amazing as well the BSB bikes. I want one!!

Had a run in with a ahole photographer who pushed me out of the Yamaha garage. Basically Chris Walker was sat one his bike and I went to get the shot. Just lined it up, set the camera up then I got shoved and told I shouldnt be in there. Erm, look around. There are loads of people here. Are you going to push them to?? Why I didnt stick up for myself, I dont know.

Oh and Micheal Rutter turned away everytime I treid to get a shot of him. Total opposite to Chris Walker. He even thanked me for taking his photo!!

Shame an Air ambulance had to come and take a rider away. Hope is he ok. The Heli did half kick up some crap when it took off. I was at Deer leap and some guy told me to cover up my camera as it sprays dirt everywhere. So a huge thanks to him!

Anyway, pictures:

1. Micheal Rutter going up Clay hill.


2. Rothmans

4. Rutter on the rear wheel


5. Nutter out of the seat, on the back wheel, giving it beans

1,4 and 10 are the pick of the bunch for me. If you got the Rutter wheely shot without cropping then that's an amazing piece of framing when panning like that.

I have to say that Chris walker is a really really nice genuine guy, met him on a number of occations over about 3yrs as he was a client of mine, always willing to talk to anyone and do anything he can to help!!

He certainly is. I have met him on a few occasions and he is so laid back and always has time to da a autograph of photo.
