Photography has always been a side hobby of mine and after extensive talks with Keith Pytlinski and other photographers that shoot cycling, I am really starting to ramp up my hardware to handle the needs of fast motion, under tree cover shooting (picked up a Nikon D300S to replace my D80 and a Sigma 10-20mm/F4 super wide lens).
It got me to thinking. In our group of riders, we have several of us that pack the heavy gear to take pictures during rides. We like to bring this side hobby/obsession to the trail to capture our friends ripping up singletrack or attempting stunts and features. Do you guys have the same situation?

I founded Bike198 back in 2008 and started riding bikes seriously in 1994. A lot has changed since that time and one of the greatest releases is still getting out on the bike and shredding trail or tearing up the road.
