Last weekend we headed to Athens for Friday nights Red Bull Chariot Race. A crowd of over 10,000 turned out to check out the homemade chariots of fire racing through the blocked off streets of Downtown Athens. Beer gardens were in place to allow the crowd to enjoy the festivities while legally drinking in the streets. In between the races Red Bull Rider Aaron Colton, who had driven down from Minnesota, set the streets on fire. This kid does things on his bike that had people in the crowd calling their friends and giving a play by play. My favorite part of my shots are of the crowd who are speechless at what this 17 year old kid is doing.  Yes, 17.  The next day was the Twilight bicycle race through dowtown, where Aaron set it off in front of 30,000 people, including some very confused and not amused professional bike racers. Pics below and vid of Aaron coming soon. Check him out on youtube until then.
