Skipped Alpenrose, but made it to FSA GP in Seattle. This is one of my favorite races of the year, Dave does a great job promoting, packing the 400m track full of fans, beer and music...and the races with cash.

Brian (Peterson) and I took 3rd in the madison (thanks to Brian’s savage final sprint), I crashed out like a fool in the miss-n-out, but bounced back and almost duped the sprinters in the scratch...ended up 5th. I turned myself inside out in a very selective points race, but came up w/allata nothing. Carney essentially put on a clinic in all the mens races...is it true he has never lost a miss-n-out on American soil?

Meanwhile, Shelley had her game raised by Australia’s Laura McCaughey, there is no way around it, that girl is straight up fast. Now Shelley is off to Bend to test her new found love for the long game @ road nats.

I took a descent amount of shots both days, but spent most the time dealing w/ my own racing. The first day I was really focused on using my flash w/ the sun in the background, it gives you some cool effects and highlights like this and this. Thanks to Chris Patterson for the flash tips!

2nd day I only really shot the woman’s madison. Anyone recognize the celebrity moto-driver?

Below is my favorite shot of the weekend, Hanan Alves-Hyde in the madison. The white track and high noon sun blew out the background...makes it look like she is in a studio, no photoshop here.

Not sure what’s up next, probably wont have much to post till crit nats.
