Spring Creek Viking clash 2010





For the 2nd year in a row, I have made it down to Spring Creek to cover their now yearly Viking Clash race weekend. For 2010, it was again a hot event in both temperature and racing action!

While I was here for only Sunday's race day, I was able to take quite a few photos of most all classes, despite being hired in to shoot specific riders. Regardless, almost 2000 pictures were taken during this weekend, and it is highly likely that I have at least one shot of every rider who attended this weekend's event!


I want to offer up a huge thanks to the staff at Spring Creek for again letting me attend this event, and for the opportunity to capture some of the race action!

Shots are split according to class, and as best as I could manage with the time available. If you are interested in shots, please contact me for pricing, but please reference the sidebar of the galleries for a quick reference of pricing.

What a weekend! Combine temperatures hovering in the 90s, with thousands of spectators, hundreds of riders, and not much shade, you can get an interesting mix of events. I don't think I have actually seen as many people wading in cool creek waters ever in my life, nor have I ever seen so many people cramped in the few shaded areas the track provided. That's just the spectator side of things, I can't imagine how the heat effects riders participating in a 30 minute moto on one of the most challenging MX tracks in the nation


As many of you are aware, local hero Ryan Dungey dominated the 450 class, with a cool and collected Trey Canard sweeping Lites. The return of Kevin Windham was a welcome site, as was his impressive hole-shot during Moto #1, and a strong lead during half that moto. Minnesota didn't only have Ryan Dungey as a favorite, Alex Martin (who literally grew up at Spring Creek) had a decent event, day, showing both good lap times, as well as a 10th place overall finish.


Along with Martin, many other riders from Minnesota took to the track. Consisting of names like; Jackson, Haas, Kangas, Dally, Dehn and many others. The crowd was alight during morning qualifying, and you could pick out the MN riders from many others by the growing cheers as they went by the trackside spectators. Sadly not all of them qualified, but a few on the roster did make it to the main event in both Lites and 450 classes.


I owe a huge thanks to MXP Magazine for again setting me up as their photographer for this event, and hope you check them out at MXPMag.com .  Ryan and the crew over at MXP are awesome folks, who like us, race amateur level, and live for the sport we all love!

 

Millville Pro Nationals 2010 Preview



Amateur day at Pro Nationals is now over, but it sure was a hot day of racing and full of competitive action! Sadly I didn't get here in time to cover the entire event, however! I am planning on making an appearance straight away on Saturday, and would like to cover the pit bike racing again today. Credentials to this event were again provided to me by MX Performance Magazine, as well as the opportunity to get some amazing pictures.

Stay Tuned to MXMatt.com for more shots from this event, and gallery updates form the local Supercross events I have attended! For the first time ever, I will be creating special wallpapers for Pro national racing, and will be posting them up in a couple of weeks (Provided shots turn out!!) .
