We had no solid plans but had seen a sign advertising a free Endurocross event that was being held on the harbor in Westhaven. So being motorbike fans, we headed over to have a look. We were greeted by 80 riders, 10000 spectators and the toughest track I’ve ever seen! Spectators had amazing access to the track, as we watched the qualifying and race laps.

There were lots of spills, few injuries and some amazing riding to be seen! I used my 15-85mm lens with polarising filter with the camera set to shutter priority mode (1/2000th to capture the fast movement). I would have hated to have to shoot this with film, having high frames per second meant I could just start clicking and nail that shot with ease.

This man with his dog just appeared in the harbor and before you could blink was off again!

The water claimed two riders on the day.

Click for the full effect, three places at once :D

Walked past this place on the way back to the car, couldn't help snapping a quick shot. Great way to store boats!

Great day, great riding with British rider Graham Jarvis taking out the win. The Kiwi’s put on a great show with music, great weather, friendly crowd and brilliant track design.
