Bought Pics from actionPhoto for 2 Sani2c events.

 

The Silverstar, Mag Monster pics was not worth the money for me.

 

But As MadMarc posted, the quality, composition etc of the pic is decisive.

 

Had 2 really good pics from 3 years of sani.

 

I also find the photographers are not placed on the best part of the course. i dont want a pic of myself slogging up a dirt road, i want one of me bombing the downhill, or railing a corner.

 

at Mag monster, the photographer took a photo and 3 meters later, there was a nice speedbump where i got some air...

 

i'd rather ride my bicycle than take pictures of peeps riding bicycles. And i understand with photography, not every action shot can be a magazine cover (even tho you can order it like that)

 

Save the hassle of making fake magazine covers etc...
