woah that looks awesome

 

[Dozer]

It is different but to be honest I don't think they have the MTB appeal. I'm not sure what it is but it just doesn't look suited. They look like they'd match an ad for a BMW or a Peugot bike..........maybe too boutique is the term I'm looking for?

Loving this pic. It is amazing. It looks so professional. What ever you are doing to the photo's to make all of them look this good, keep doing it. Love your work, can't wait to see more.

what are rig shots?

essentially, the camera is mounted on a rig which is mounted in this case to the headtube/forks of the bike or chris' helmet in the second photo. you use a longer shutter speed (couple of seconds, say) and ride/walk/drive really slowly throughout the exposure. that way you get the one part of the subject (to which the camera is mounted via the rig) nice and sharp and stable, while everything else is blurred.

its more commonly used for photos of cars, but chris has done an amazing job here..

Not too bad but as has been mentioned they are far too fancy for the sport. They do not express the raw feeling you get when riding a bike. Nice effort photo wise anyways.
