Hippy art chicks saying things like "I feel so free". I wish I had some of those pics.

Believe me, that is where the action is in any bike or run. The Fremont parade last year was a perfect example of that. I spent a considerable amount of time trying to figure out how to cover both the pre and post race not knowing which would be the best, but figuring both would be great. And it turned out just like you would expect - before the race starts is when everyone assembles so you get the best group shots. But after the race, although a lot of people disperse and leave quickly, a few linger and are very agreeable to being photographed. Thats when you often get the best individual posed pics. I hadn't thought about how the Fremont parade was like the Naked Mile in the tapes I've seen. I have those old Naked Mile Gold tapes from AMC - they sound like the ones you're talking about. With a short enough race (or ones you can shortcut), you can cover both ends as a photographer. The best Naked Mile tape I have is the one with the not so shy girls posing at the fountain at the end. Too bad I can't post any of that, stills or clips......
Phaserboss2003, maybe you know this, but I am an AVID fan of bikes and runs and collect every single pic I see.
I mean, I collect all types of pics, but as public nudity events go, bikes and runs are IMHO the most collectable of all. Now, lets talk about DAYLIGHT campus runs and bikes - they should be the most collectable of all, right? - since most events are at night. So there is this one event above, and May Day, a campus bike event (don't know the name of the school). Any others? I checked and have very few daylight campus run or bike pics. How about you? What else do you have to post/trade?
Back to the Fremont Parade, I found out that there is a secret location where all of the bikers assemble before the ride, supposedly out of the limelight of photographers. Last year, I missed them not knowing about it, but found some pics on-line which showed the exact location. heh...heh! So next year, I know where to go to find them (unless they change it from year to year) - several hundred naked bikers all standing around, waiting for the white flag.
Anyway, I leave you with a pic from May Day, a few pre and post Fremont Parade 2006 pics (not taken by me - sob!) and a pic from Webshots of a daylight campus run that I know nothing about, Notice the two babes on the far right. The rest are all guys!
