Fraser Britton is the short man on the list, literally. When he’s not wisecracking about his height, though, he’s as good a sniper as you’ll ever see. His time racing DH for Orange Cycles (he still holds a professional racing license) has given him that racer’s eye when it comes to assessing a track for a shooting position. And even though he loves riding bikes, he’s happiest with a camera in hand. “Watching Hill blast through the rock garden in Maribor or that last section in Val Di Sole makes me happy to do what I do and to be able to capture it for eternity,” he explains. “Being able to convey that drama to the viewer—be it of the event, the location, the weather or whatever—is why I do what I do.” As for his camera skills, let’s just say that Troy Lee Designs, Monster Energy and anyone related to Sam Hill do not hire hacks.
