Thru My Lense: Borneo Downhill Challenge 2009

Day 1 - 16th May 2009

Called andy sk, going to meet him at Tun Fuad.. for the downhill challenge.. excited nie.. was there at 8, hike up all alone to the peak.. but where the hell are the riders.. finally i saw 3 goin downhill.. one after one.. but where r the others? no spectators, no marshalls, no medics.. somethings is wrong.. no officials at the peak, not even at Tun Fuad.. then andy came along.. mana bro.. teda apa2 pun sini.. beskal pun teda..!!

we decided to go down again.. then we see all coming up.. and we were half way down already by then.. disaster strike again... (who the hell came up with - lightning never strike twice..??) the marshall chased us out coz we have no media passes.. hey, hello.. we dun do this for the money, we do this for fun.. and y the double standard oo?? digital camera can snap photos, DSLR owner must get media pass.. end result, both have images that can be published n printed.. mangkuk la korang but rules are rules, so both of us go down la.. apa lagi, walk to SM Sains oo.. punya jauh hahaha.. just for the change of snapping the photos, and no interruption, am willing la to go down again.. hmm.. next time publish la in the posters that DSLR owner need to register n get the media pass..

but these round wasnt that exciting and the clouds is threatening.. and lapar la.. naik bukit turun bukit ingat main2 ker.. and no water some more.. and like heroes, went up with out even a cuppa kupi 'O'.. telan air liur jer nak kasi basah tekak.. andy n i decided tomorrow will be the best time for us to go there again.. yahoo.. media pass ada.. short cut ja la bisuk

but that day, on day 1, i admired this dude's determination.. tayar pancit masih mo pecut downhill.. dun give a damn of wat he is facing.. he was sprinting like a wind..

Day 2 - The thrill is here...

Wat excites me the most is not the riders.. but the photographers.. 70-200mm lense is like a favourite lense for the event.. and i wonder how many was actually using a D60 body like mine.. cant see any.. uwekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.. napa la low class giler nie milik aku.. had to double the effort..
