A Day with Will – X Games 15

Tanner Foust’s Ford Fiesta Sedan inside of the Home Depot Center ready for X-Games 15 Rally.

I got to go the X-Games!

Its hard to imagine growing up without the games. My guess, is that I started watching the X-Games around X3 in San Diego. Because it had been a few years of watching before Tony Hawk’s 900.

My sport of choice growing up was aggressive inline skating- which is no longer a part of the X-Games. For X-Games 15, I had the chance to shoot a video during the Rally competition.

The center of the Home Depot center is a massive dirt jump- over/under. Where during the head to head race – one car will jump from take off to landing ramp as the other drives under it.

Travis Pastrana scopes out the rally jump.

Kenny Brack’s Ford Fiesta on the track- prepping for X-Games Gold.

My Panasonic HPX-170 poised for action in the Home Depot Center. Been shooting with the HPX for about a month now. Including Pike’s Peak. Impressed with the color information and quality over the Sony EX-1 – but not the controls. Please give me a marked focus ring instead of the infinite focus ring.

Till next time. Maybe Winter X or US Open of Snowboarding.
