Know The Trails

Before shooting mountain bikers, get to know the trail. Scope out boulders you can stand on for an over- view. Is there a downed tree you can lie under? In general, avoid eye-level perspectives in mountain biking: Very low or very high angles give the most dynamic look. And remember: A biker coming toward you looks better than one riding away.—Rich Wheater
