Tim Ward asked me to come down to this pool session that was happening not far from home. Rocked up and snapped some pics alongside Bsmith who was shooting some stuff for Valo of Bailey and Broskow. Got two decent snaps of CJ and Robbie..by then the sun was setting and it was time to call it a day.

The Aussie Rolling Open, a World Rolling Series stop took place at Rampfest over the weekend. With US teams Razors and Valo down it turned out to be a  huge event.. I was lucky enough to be there all day shooting for emesce.com. Tiring day, running around with camera gear all day. Craig Smith got some awesome footage and put together a very nice edit of the event as well.

Photography wise comps are a bit of a challenge..gotta be conscious about whats going on around you all the time..if you don’t and get taken out you’re not gonna be happy..and the competitor isn’t gonna be happy either hahah…The light in Rampfest isn’t the best so I was pumping the ISO.

More later.

The first shot was one I snagged while Bsmith was setting up for a shoot. Julio was filming it as well..

The latter is from Rampfest, The US guys were down having a peek around and Broskow happens to warm up on this part of Rampfest that is rarely used..Awesome fish stall on the over-vert.
