Slashing Gravity: FMX in PDX

Over the last few years I’ve dragged a lot of heavy gear to a lot of different places to photograph BMX, Skate, and Motocross events. It’s not always a photographically ideal scenario: Shitty arena lighting, limited access, distracting signage everywhere, fast pace, etc., etc. I’m actually not planning to shoot many events this year for those reasons amongst others, but I got a call to shoot a Freestyle Motocross event that was coming to town. Since it was only a few blocks from my office, Gravity Slashers would fill my Saturday evening. Flips, whips, Hart Attacks, exhaust fumes… you know the drill. Drake McElroy, Greg Hartman and a crew of others made it out for the event, and kept the Portlanders entertained and out of the rain. Here a couple shots from the event at the Rose Garden in Portland.
