Here are some of the images I took of a BMX competition that was taking place at Fistral beach during the weekend. My aim for the weekend was to watch as many skate and BMX competitions as possible and photograph them all. However due to the shifts that I had with Oxfam, this is the only competition I managed to see, and I was only able to stay for 5 minutes as I was on my way back to the festival site for a shift.

As I was only able to stay for a short period of time, I didn't think a lot about the images I was taking, it was very much a case of point and shoot, and hope they turn out okay. In my opinion the images are okay, they're colourful, the composition is good, and the bikers are visible. I would have liked to stand much closer to the ramp, in order to get clearer images of the bikers and more creative compositions. The images are very much about the action and the skills that the bikers posses. I would have liked to have been able to stay for a lot longer, possibly talk to the athletes and photograph them for a few hours.
