After almost five years in Japan, I am still being informed of small race tracks all across this little country (when compared to Australia). Being in the Sera region, and for those of you who know me – not a drinker, had a quick trip out to Green Park Korakuen (グリーンパークKORAKUEN).
I have travelled around Japan either racing myself or following race events of the main 4 wheel codes (Super GT, Super Taikyu, D1 GP, etc), This little piece of motorsports heaven is not only home to the Hiroshima stages of the All-Japan Motocross Championship but has go-kart, road bike, remote control car and drift practise facilities.
Being a Sunday, enthusiasts of all codes, were out fine tuning their skills. Due to the minority of our visiting party having an interest, only a limited amount of time was spent spectacting. There was enough time though to pull out the 30D to have my first real go at shooting moving objects.
Probably because I was the only one panning with my camera at the first jump of of the main course, I think was starting getting the attention of the riders:
Will definitely be visiting again.
Whoa dude, is that you???!!!
No, I was standing behind the camera.
Maybe some other day
Ask the riders to do the superman thing. you know.. hands and feet off the bike for couple of seconds in the air
