Oropa new line

July 4, 2010 1

After a couple of days of work on our local trails here we go, time to see if what we have constructed it works. So time to go to the bus station that will bring us to the top. This time 2 riders a photographer and a film maker. Is the day for testing Mimmo has to test the new transfer jump, Luca that is turning back from an injury has to test his finger if it works, PG the filmmaker has to reactivate his creativity and get used with the new 7D for filming and me I have to test my new 16mm FishEye.

On our bikes we reach our spot and start having fun as usual. First jump first number, Luca is crashing and is getting dirty. But Mimmo is having fun from the beginning and is becoming our model nr. 1 doing some stylish tricks. In this way times flies and I am not getting used with my new fish eye, in some way I am not able to manage lights and composition yet with this lens so for turning back with something at home I ask for help to my old 85mm and he is doing his job very well.

Going down Luca is showing us that has turned back after some weeks of recovery not only on the bike but has turned back also to be fast and on a very nice section is showing his DH style.

PG wins on this session, he is able to catch velocity and some action and home I discover that I have messed up my color settings and post production is getting complicated. But as usual riding with my big bag behind is always fun and some new ideas are running on my head for the next session on this spot
