Yeah this took a bunch of tries. This was the best one for sure, there are others where AT is further in the air but R Dog is on his way down. Also, the wide angle lens makes them look farther apart than they actually are... they probably could not have trained any closer than this.

 thanks man! mitch makes it easy for to shoot.. so much style

 yeah dude.. it is super fun. step down into two big tables into a berm and another big table.. its gonna get good at Canyons for sure

 Amazing shot! How long did this window of light last? Looks the clouds opened up in the perfect spot for you. Beautiful.

 Carrick 14 this is not a "set up" shot it happened just as you see it, both riders training into jump with chest mounted camera.. Check the vimeo vid referenced above to see how it went down. :-)

 the camera was fired with a remote trigger (pocketwizard), I was hiding in the trees..

 That is a Gravity bar, not sure which one. AT and R-Dog both ride for Gravity Components, and they actually used this shot as a banner at Interbike 2011

 Yes, I did strap a camera to AT's chest. The 5d mark II was in a custom made chest mount. Both riders are were moving very fast and riding much closer together than you would in a normal "train" shot

 Both riders are moving very fast in this shot. It was risky to mount the 5d on AT's chest but I wasn't to worried about it. I have a special chest mount that actually protects the camera fairly well. It took us a few tries to get the timing right, but both AT and R-Dogg were dialed every time
