Just received an exclusive release about Nikon's involvement with the Swatch / Red Bull Extreme Snowboarding event, the photography going on there (using Nikon D1's) and more importantly what's involved in getting those images back and onto a website.

"Over the next few days (weather permitting) and in freezing conditions, photographers positioned on the near vertical slope of the Bec des Rosses at the Swatch/ Red Bull Extreme Snowboard event in Verbier, Switzerland are shooting digital pictures in rapid bursts with Nikon D1's straight across the valley. Here, a mini production unit edits the images, which are then relayed by ISDN to be displayed on the official event web site."
