Oh...... this is getting old fast. I thought yesterday was the worst day on a moto shoot... Wrong! Today put that one in the books. First off we had 4 hrs sleep for an 8:30 start... I wake up w/ a sore throat and off we go... sitting in our motor home in the dark in a huge rain does not inspire making a day of it. So you just go thru the motions. 17 pieces of clothing to suit up and a camera bag that makes it practically impossible to do anything with the camera, and the new bike with all the mounts in the wrong places keeping you from panning side to side... and then there's the non-working com's.... this alone makes it impossible to do the show. You know nothing of what's going on, you can't talk to the director(s) and you don't know if your on the air... Arrrrrrgh! By hr 3 I lost most of the dexterity in my hands - typing right now (7hrs later) is a bit hard - this comes when the real show hits - in the end of the stage! I shot Levi's attack on the last hill where it rained and hailed so hard it was soooooo hard - Levi is a stud, and he was in his mic yelling "don't chase me!" back to the team.
And then there's Lance getting takin down by his own personal photographer - moto and all in the road. We also had a guy (racer) hit a parked car and went away in an ambulance.....
Tour of Belgum, CA resumes tomorrow........
