Another set from the freestyle competition earlier this season on the Gull. Moves like this all happens so fast & you don't realize just how far they get themselves out of the water - pretty impressive!

Brian keeping pace aroung the last big berm & trying to get his double lap of 10 km to under 32 mins.

1 bare 430ex camera left @ 1/4 power
& 1 bare 430ex behind Brian @ 1/16 power that did not fire.

Rear sync would have benefited this image or a faster shutter speed to completely freeze the motion(I find the foward blur to be distracting). I am already finding the limitations of low power strobes but still have so much to learn!
