    Default In need of some very specific photos...

    I need some rather specific photos for a...project...I'm working on.

    There are tons of pictures floating around online but quite frankly I don't feel like digging through them all to find high resolution copies of exactly what I need.

    I need speedboarding pictures that meet the following criteria:

    1. Riders must be wearing leathers and a full face helmet
    2. Must be set in a green setting preferably forested (no shots of Maryhill please)
    3. Good quality photo (no video stills or poorly developed shots please)
    4. Multiple riders in the frame are preferable
    5. Anything with spectators, hay bales or crash walls, or anything indicating a racing atmosphere would be much appreciated.


    I'd really appreciate any help anyone can give me. If you have a shot that matches those criteria that you would like to share email me at metcalfj@vt.edu or shoot me a PM.

    I'd be more than happy to explain what I need the photos for if you contact me but would rather not post it publicly here.

    Thanks!

    I took a bad fall on 5/24/2008 at Mt. Baker, went off the road and fell down the side of the mountain. I went into a coma, badly broke my pelvis, lacerated my liver and almost died on the mountain AND later in the hospital. The rehabilitation therapists had to teach me how to do everything again...everything.

    I survived that mountain because of my helmet...WEAR ONE and send your family to the hospital, not the morgue.

    Georges, those are phenomenal...but high resolution is a must. Copying and pasting form Silverfish just won't cut it :-\
