Behind the Double Loop Dare: Following Greg Tracy

Saturday at X Games was all about the Hot Wheels Double Loop Challenge! The My Life at Speed crew was up early and out to catch all the action. With camera gear and coffee in hand, we were ready to take on anything. Our challenge for the day was to follow Greg Tracy! Here are some of the shots I caught throughout the day. For a 10 second stunt it’s amazing how much work transpired throughout the day.

My two favorite hobbies cars and cameras has melded into a passion for automotive photography. Starting off photographing Rally in the Pacific Northwest has led me to many other styles of racing: mud bog, tough trucks, Redline Time Attack, AutoX and more. Anything with a motor and at speed is where I enjoy being.
