Catawba Riverfront Classic

Catawba Riverfront Classic
A mountain biker rides the rolling singletrack of the US National Whitewater Center in Charlotte, NC on June 1, 2008. The Whitewater Center recently began charging a $5 admission to use these trails, which are considered by many to be the best in the Charlotte area.


Yesterday the Tarheel Trailblazers put on a great event with the Catawba Riverfront Classic mountain bike race at the US National Whitewater Center in Charlotte. I wanted to race yesterday, but with the bike in disrepair that wasn't going to happen.

No problem though, I used the event as an opportunity to get some great pictures and explore creative techniques such as motion blur accentuaded by a quick jerk/twist of the camera durring the exposure, as seen in these pictures.

As always, my pictures can be viewed on my flickr page.
