Ultimate shoulder rides

I'm uploading several hundred photos via FTP that show the source URL, so I can't simply post them in the picture galleries.  They're mostly WOW, but there are some really good WOM, and a few MOM here and there as well.

In German indoor cycling contests, the doubles contestants (mostly two women, sometimes a woman and a man or two men) often include some really expert and appealing shoulder riding by riders wearing tights.  I've posted some photos of these events before, and I'll post a few samples in a few minutes just to give you the idea if you haven't seen pics like this before.  A really nice thing about these contests is that after the winning teams receive their awards, they are treated to shoulder rides by mounts who typically bounce up and down, obviously providing extra enjoyment to their riders.  We've had a few links to video clips of these exciting rides.

I hope the administrators will find it convenient to add the two ZIP files to the photo archives.  The one from 2009 is the largest, and the one from 2010 has some overlap (duplicates of a few of the photos in the 2009 ZIP file); sorry about that.

I also hope that other members will agree that there is some really enjoyable riding to be seen at these events, and I'm wondering how many members would like to be among the volunteers who carry the winning riders on thier shoulders during the celebration rides after the awards are given out.
