This is one of my favourite pics for a while. One of the requirements in a recent bike test down at Bozen was to take a pic of the 2010 Fox 36 Floats. Late afternoon found us trail surfing past a spot in the woods where the sunlight was casting through the trees and across a spot with leaves. Light looked beautiful. Set up one flash on the left and Mad Max was right behind my left shoulder with flash #2. One of the things I like about Schlecker is that you can tell him a spot to hit and he can horse down the trail and hit it with millimeter precision. Which is kind of handy when there’s €1.6k of bare Nikon glass in very close vicinity. Got to be careful with wides, of course, since putting wheels in the corners is usually not a good idea due to heavy distortion but, since the subject was forks, then it worked out quite well here. I love the opposite light shining through the leaves plus the rim lighting it gives off his left leg.  This pic is now published on pages 86/87 of FREERIDE magazine 3/2010.
