TXRD 2008 August 10th Rhinestone Cowgirls vs. Holy Rollers : I suggest installing the PicLens plug in for your browser if you want to browse quickly.  The arrow keys work too.  I plan on making a better watermark for these as I am not selling them.

David Weaver from the A-list/Statesman was there and put these shots up too:

Texas Rollergirls - 6-July-2008 : This was my first flat track experience.  The Texas Rollergirls  Hell Marys beat the Northwest Arkansas (NWA) Rollergirls  129 to 77.  While alternating halves with the The Hotrod Honeys against the Honky Tonk Heartbreakers.  The Honeys won 76 to 40 advancing them to the finals.
The flat track game is very different than the banked version in Austin.  2 minute jams were the first thing I noticed, no fighting except for the end, and penalties were served while the jam was going.
For the first half I sat between to Moko Loco from TXRD, Lady Stardust and Fender Bender.  Moko gave me some insight from her the differences too from her flat track experiece and Lady Stardust answered a few questions while keeping her eyes on the bout.
Photographing this was a bit different than the banked league.  No railings to block the view, but the horrible florescent lights made me pull out the flash.  You would need a new Nikon or a Canon 1Ds to shoot this without the flash.

Cherry Bombs v. Rhinestone Cowgirls : 2008 June 22nd - Rhinestone Cowgirls vs. Cherry Bombs.  I didn't get to take many pictures by the edge of the track so I didn't get as many shots that I liked.  I hope to get a press pass for the next game and get some shots from the inside.  If any of the skaters want photos just e-mail me brent lavelle at yahoo dot com without any spaces.

2008 Austin ATT Crit : The 2008 AT&T Austin down town criterium.  The is the first time could make it to the down town crit.  I got there after the men's cat 1, 2, 3 race was in progress and didn't get many good shots.  I got great shots of the women's pro race but then it got too dark to get good shots of the men's pro race.  It was hard to shoot around so many people.  I'm glad the race had such a good turnout though.  The wooosh of the peloton going by was intense.  I have more pictures that I didn't post and many of these are cropped as used the wide angle for most of this race.

USARA Sprint and Collegiate National Championships 2008 - Favorites : My favorite pictures from this event.  I mis-counted the racers then got a flat tire near the wall so I didn't get as many pictures as I had hoped.

Terra Firma transition and finnish : Here are hundreds of photos from the end of the cycling, beginning of the mystery event and finish.  They are in order but you will probably be in several pictures each time you went through this area.  Also remember to look at the highlights as those photos are not duplicated here.

Race start and running : Here are all of the decent photos

Please look over these to make sure you are in focus and your eyes are open. I can re-crop the photo if you are in the background and they will still look great,  The running portion of the event was early and I just got off of my bike in time to photographing so these pictures are not as clear as I would have liked.  I looked these over and some participants will look alright so you will want to crop many of these.  Look at the large version of the picture before you buy.  Mouse over the picture then select large.  The later parts of the ride came out much better.

Terra Firma Highlights : These are my favorite 78 photos from the race.  I'll post all of the good ones if there is interest.

I had a hard time bringing down the 1000+ pictures I took to a best of.  Many of the ones I liked didn't make the cut.  The other photos are here grouped by where/what I was shooting.
