Chopper Circles Above Pikes Peak

While I was on the Bullrun, one of the guys on the film crew told me that you always wish you’d turned the camera on two seconds earlier or left if on for two seconds longer, and I completely agree. Moments before I shot the clip below, this chopper buzzed right across the top of the hill with a camera guy hanging out the window, and it was totally bad ass. That said, the clip I did manage to shoot shows just how close the whirly-birds were getting to the top of the mountain, and the footage of Paul Dallenbach’s open wheel ripping around the final bend is awesome. Remember: one mistake there, and you’re dead. Enjoy.
