"Trials Of Life"

Hi All,

At yesterday's Victoria's Secret" Mountain Bike Race was Norco Trials Pro Ryan Leech. After racing Ryan put on a show of his trials skills to the delight of all in attendance.

He is AMAZING! It is hard to believe people can actually do this kind of thing. He is on a Cross Canada tour promoting his Trials of Life, www.trialsoflife.com
It is a program of his as a professional athlete to influence youth in a positive way. Judging the way the youth responded to his show, I would say it is working! Great to see someone using his position in such a way.

Videos of his may also be seen on YouTube. Just type in Ryan Leech and sit back and enjoy the show.

Hope you like the images and glimpse into this cool world. Feedback is also always welcomed. Let me know how I am doing!

cheers,
Gary M.

Victoria's Secret

Hi All,

This past weekend at Victoria Park in Truro NS, was the scene of the annual Mountain Bike Race Victoria's Secret. Hosted by Hub Cycle, it was a great event to attend, with the star attraction being trials ace Ryan Leech who also raced before putting on a trials exhibition. WOW!

The course wound through the park, with a nice combination of terrain and a good turnout of racers of all ages. It was great seeing the younger set, and by all accounts they had a blast.
Events like this are a photographers dream, with lots of speed, sweat, mud and sometimes blood!

All images taken with a Canon 5D, 70-200 F4L Canon lens. The first image also featured a B&W Polarizing Filter, and on the remaining images a Canon Speedlight 580EX11 Flash was used for fill light.

The Race,
Ryan Leech, Trials Ace.





















Enjoy!
