 |
|
This is some good news for british biking photo fanatics. The Urban Freeride competition, known as the Nissan Qashqai Challenge, will be gracing London on Saturday 24th May.
If last year is anything to go by (which i'm sure it is) then there should be a selection of top pro's pulling off sick moves in attempt to win some points. All the better for taking photos then!
For more info check: http://www.bike-community.net/forum/showthread.php?t=329
Anyone else reckon they'll go?

I would have thought so. If it's anything like Ft William then it'll be heaving. You'll need to go for the early practices and force your way to the front. And take a good selection of lenses.
Be good to watch though.

Yeah getting there early would be a good idea. Surely there must be some way to get a press/media pass too? I've had a look on the site & there's no info but i'm sure you can.

You could maybe try and find someone who'll be getting a pass and ask if you can help out as their bitch (or assistant)
