Cantrell http://brucekcantrell.com/main/?p=1545 Iv recently developed a fascination for extreme mountain biking and have started cycling myself – so when the opportunity arose to head off to the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup at Cascades MTB Park in Pietermaritzburg I jumped at the chance. What an epic few days of exhilarating riding (not by myself – I still think these boys and girls are a slightly different shade of crazy).

 

One thing they forget to mention when you go to shoot Downhill MTB races, is the insane amount of running up and down a mountain to get to the different spots – fitness levels were put to the test! But the results from all this running were well worth it. Capturing these downhill riders careening down this mountain at speeds of up to (and over) 60km/h, dodging rocks, trees, and doing the most insane gaps and jumps – I fell in love with this sport INSTANTLY!

 

I followed the downhill racers from their practise runs through to qualifying and on Sunday 18th, their final run in which Greg Minnaar, our very own boy from SA, completely ANNIHILATED the competition.

 

Here are a few shots from the few days I was there:

Cantrell http://brucekcantrell.com/main/?p=1537 Occasionally in life we reach a point where we have had enough, where we have reached an all time high of irritation, depression and general angst. We can accept these problems and just live with them or we can choose to do something about it – and the only way to do something about it is to change our attitude. There is no new concept shown here, just a visual interpretation of a time old classic. Hear No Evil – See No Evil – Speak No Evil.

That was the brief – so we decided to go for something a little more fashion orientated – and the results… take a look for yourself:

Cantrell http://brucekcantrell.com/2012/?p=832 After many months since the birth of project Kilo2Kili, months of endless planning, training and shooting, we set off on our 1st journey up Mount Kilimanjaro.

Led by a team of the most legendary individuals we made our way up, through rain, snow, sleet and hail.

Here are just a few of the photos I snapped on the way up :)
