HindSightMX Photos - Aug 16th/21st Moto X Camp : Here are all the photos from the HindSightMX Moto X Camp held at: http://www.hindsightmx.com on August 16th and the makeup class on the 21st. There are pictures from all over the track, in turns, climbing hills, and even some motion/blurred shots that look like the rider is going really fast. To view all images at once as thumbnails, choose "all thumbs" above in the style: pull-down menu. Since there may be several to choose from, here's a suggestion from my customers: pick out all of your photos and order a set of 4x6s. Then once you've looked them over and picked out your favorites, you can come back and order enlargements for yourself and your friends and family. And after you've ordered your 4x6 set, if you're interested, I can make a CD or DVD slide show for you.

Your Bio

Rick Smith has been riding motorcycles for more than 35 years and began snapping photographs in college. He spent several years working on motorcycles at Pauldings Cycles (White Plains, NY), assemblying and repairing British, Japanese, and German models. In 1971, he bought a 1962 R60/2 BMW and spent about a year "chopping" and customizing it. He entered the bike in a local NY motorcycle show, and his efforts garnered 2nd place in the custom bike category. His black-and-white photographs, taken while riding his BMW cross-country, were used on two covers of the BMW Owners of America publications in the mid 1970s and in 2005, a photo of a motorcycle crash was chosen by Intel Corporation to depict the theme "Risk Taking." Mr. Smith has recently started photographing motorcycle races around the Portland, OR area and has begun producing video footage from many of the rides he's taken up and down the West Coast. "I love cruising alternately on my Polaris Victory and Kawasaki Concours," says Mr. Smith, "and prefer the twisting, winding roads over the Interstate. It really gives me the opportunity to enjoy the landscape, and I've devised a way to safely snap photos and shoot videos along the way." Mr. Smith also has a deep interest in the history of motorcycles, and has begun research through recent tours of international motorcycle museums in Germany, England, and New Zealand.
