Split Second...

I only had a split second to capture Richie Schley at the 2002 Red Bull Rampage in Virgin, Utah, riding hard and fast, down the narrow ridge.

This was the first year of three years I had the opportunity to photograph this event. I wish it were still around.

    Cool shot. Once in a life time combination?

    I like this when I first saw it! Ever since I want the parachute to pop from the rider. Reminds me of the extreme out of bounds skiers who drop from the choppers and ski down the fresh powder.
    Certainly a worthy split second and a rare catch.
    Nice works (as usual Brian)
