Not sure if this is the right place to put them, but here's some pics from 2021's KOH. I'll post more as I work my way through all of the pics I got. First up, some pics from the Bronco Reveal
Nice work! Did you shoot the EMC also or just 4400?
What kind of camera gear were you sporting?
Great work man
I like the pictures! They look great!
I do really wish there would be more highlight videos of ULTRA 4. Or at least videos of different obstacles edited to not be 8 hours long. But oh well.
The problem is that HammerKing lost their butts when they tried making DVDs. The amount of money, manpower and time so that maybe a few thousand people buy a DVD is not worth it. There’s a few film makers who’ve tried making movies about KOH but generally they aren’t very successful. It’s hard to understand the appeal of KOH if you’ve never been, especially if you don’t already know a fair amount about it or what it takes to compete.

Yeah I blame social media for that. Facebook and Instagram have gotten so good at specifically steering people to what they think the people want to see, and they’re promoting the people that have managed to figure out the social media algorithms or are just lucky enough to be famous already. It’s insane to me that some little 12 year old girl could have tens of thousands of followers for not really doing anything and the average Ultra4 racer who spends thousands of dollars a year on media has maybe 2k followers (like me ) the only way to break that is to have social media influencers be involved in our sports, like Lightbright Nation, Vaughn Gittin, etc.
I am one of those 2k followers.

Dave Cole said:You guys are looking at this wrong.
Can you race TT with a LS Motor, YES
Can you win, No
So you go to a motor guy and pay for better parts.
Why would you not blink at 40k for a motor that, by its existence, does nothing to increase your revenue, but you wont spend 5,10,20k on a social media and content plan that virtually guarantees a return.
Social Media and Content is just another tool in the toolbox.
