2014 NEPG Sandlapper Enduro

It’s finally race season. I’m really happy to be out shooting again after what seems like a very, very long Winter. This past weekend I traveled with the crew from Outlaw Motorsports of Morgantown, WV. We hit the road for the NEPG Sandlapper Enduro in Salley, SC with two trucks loaded with gear and dirt bikes. Check out a selection of shots below from the pits, the tests, and some new graphics on the Team Outlaw bikes.

NEPG Foggy Mountain National Enduro

Well, there’s nothing foggy about Foggy Mountain. I got to travel to Blain, PA in the mountains outside of Harrisburg for a NEPG AMA/Rekluse National Enduro Series cross-country dirt bike race. The weather was hot, humid, and not foggy. Maybe that’s a different time of the year. I was traveling in the Team Outlaw chase vehicle and snagged some shots at one of the areas in which the brush wasn’t too thick to wade through. Here are a few of my favorites even though they’re all from the same spot.

Some of the shots include pro class riders Grant Baylor, Ian Blythe, Kyle McDonal, Paddy Holloway, WV’s own Thad Duvall, Ryder Lafferty, and Nick Davis. From Morgantown, WV, Cody Ruckle, Ryan Inmon, Andy Thorn, and Be Thorn.

Cherokee National Enduro

I hit the road this past weekend with Andy Thorn from Outlaw Motorsports for the 2013 Cherokee National Enduro (NEPG AMA/Rekluse National Enduro Series) in Greenboro, GA. Shooting a diversity of photos at enduros can be tricky unless you have an army of shooters. The race is spread out over dozens upon dozens of miles. Unlike hare scrambles and motocross, the riders only come by the same spot once. If you time it correctly, you can get to another spot with a quick jaunt in the truck for several miles. Here are a few shots from the weekend. These guys were the top three overall. Charlie Mullins, Nick Fahringer, and Russell Bobbitt.

Jack Pine Enduro 2011

Back in July, I had the chance to travel with some friends to Moorestown, MI. Loaded up with two race-ready dirt bikes, tools, riding gear, and a few camera bags, we left the mountains of West Virginia to this relatively flat area of Michigan.  Coming from WV and hiking mile upon mile of hills and mountains to shoot cross country style racing, this seemed to be a foreign planet. Complete with a course that required using the truck to get to different shooting spots, tons of sand in place of the usual mud and clay, and the sheer length of the enduro style race, it was fun day of making photos. It’s the Jack Pine Enduro and here are a few shots from the trip.
