MX mud bath

The years may roll by, but Mother Nature remains the same...you never know when she'll unleash the skies and bring a massive mudder motocross upon us.

Here's a shot from somewhere in the south, think it was an AMA regional MX qualifier race in Tennessee. Try as they might, these top area pros were having a hard time getting 'er done...or even getting over the next jump, for that matter.

Letting my mind wander back to these days assures me I truly loved all things motocross.  It didn't matter, rain or shine, I was there to capture the images that told the story.  It might have meant mud head to toe and trashed Nikon bodies and lenses, but nonetheless it was why I existed, my place in the world at that time in life.
