It was great and as you might guess, I took hundreds of photos with the Nikon D5000. Some of the photos should be published in a web magazine but I prefer to wait it's done to talk about it here :).
I also met many people, some I knew like Tomity San the Keirin Ambassador or Stephan Forest who is leading the French-Japanese road race team, NFCC.

I will develop more about the event in articles to come (still a lot of work to sort the photos...), but for now here is a video I shoot of the BMX riders in action.

[It's one of my first try to edit a video... So I did it the easy way using just iMovie (and an old version of it...). The sound is quite horrible and I did not have a tripod so...well...]
