Some more shots of todays action: the half-pipe contest which sadly turned out to be a bummer for Dolf van der Wal (missing the finals by 2/10 points on a disputable judging score). Some nice shots even though the waether was a bit bleak.
The nights Big Air practice turned out to be fun again while stressing the camera to the limits, using the high ISO range and two slave flashes. Happy with the results and ready for the contest the day after tomorrow.
Todays carving action wasn’t too succesfull for Nicolien either but fortunately I was able to do some decent freestyle shooting today. First some shots at the half-pipe (in between parallel slaom heats) and then some difficult shots with slave-flashes at the nightly big-jump practice session.
Tomorrow: half-pipe qualification and perhaps a couple more bigjump shots…
Flatlander Dolf van der Wal ended his season with a well-deserved first place at the Burton Half-Pipe Invitational in Åre, Sweden. Great solid run that finished off a grey and miserable day on the slopes.
Pity the whole week of shooting didn’t give us more than just one morning of nice weather. As to be expected: we left a day after the contest under bright blue-skies!
