I lost a few shots when the riders simply went up too high too fast fore me to keep up

Lighting was better at the left end of the half-pipe, but all the riders work facing the wrong way at that end .

All these were taken with a cheap, light Sigma 70-210 zoom.

From the terrace level you don't get such a clear view, but you can see the rider is perhaps over 20 foot above the ground

The dim image on the screen is from the camera on the tripod just to the right of the lamp posts.
