Am I alone in thinking that new 'virgin' riders getting naked in public for the first time, are more exciting than ladies repeat riding every year, something many here on this thread seem mildly obsessed about!

Dunno if I've just not reached saturation, but despite the
frisson of finding newbies, I'm still plenty pleased to encounter repeaters from year to year, as the first ones below...

Finally, some back side views...Each year, there seems to be the same overwhelming number of images featuring bikers whizzing by focusing mostly on the frontal view only. It's unbelievable to think that no one seems to find it a good idea to perhaps focus and take a few more back shots and views of the riders for a change...Also, can anyone explain to me why there does not seem to be any quality video of the riders in Gas Works Parks milling around after the ride portion of the parade is complete? Also, why are there not more videos of riders interacting with the crowds or aimlessly wandering and lingering nude while watching the remainder of the Solstice Parade after the ride portion is over? I've seen numerous photos that indicate this type of activity is happening and occurring very frequently yet there never seems to be much if any video online documenting it. I've also noticed in some of the images posted here that many people in the crowds are using professional video equipment and cameras to record, therefore I'm most certain there are a fair amount of people recording this activity. Is there some unknown secret code for not posting this type of material online or is there some sort of black market video network for this type of footage that exists and I'm not aware of it?...

Several points:
1) It's pretty early days yet; the event is less than 72 hours past, and so far, no OCC snappers have posted any but the teasers...no reason to think others would necessarily be all done yet;
2) While it's been many moons since I took more than just a few pictures (pre-digital, if that gives you a clue!), I nonetheless imagine it'd be no mean feat to get front and back views of one rider, and then swivel round to do it for the next rider you want, and so on and so on, even when they're not zipping past and when not every one catches your eye;
3) Lots of those with pro-type equipment may be trying, or indeed even succeeding, to submit to paysites, which often then watermark those efforts, thus rendering them unpostable here: we're actually exceedingly fortunate in having members who either give us exclusives or post original versions here before posting elsewhere with watermarks;
4) Whether you prefer to describe us as a bunch of perving leeches or as a group with, shall we say,
specialized interests, the fact remains that some who share these pictures freely within their own circle would much rather
not have the likes of us see/circulate them, and so take certain steps to limit access: for example, after watching the nice video shot at the paint party exit ( youtube.com/watch?v=hjDwbV5BikA&feature=youtu.be ), check the text that appears above the comments section: "This video is unlisted. Be considerate and think twice before sharing"...
