A few people have sent messages wondering where all these images I've been working on are...All I can tell you is the wait should be worth it. As stated above I have teamed up with Taylor Sage (Freeride cinematographer) to work on a combination of Full feature film and Coffee Table style picture book to be released later this year. So far our travels have taken us from Reno NV to Highland bike park NH. with a stop over at a Canadian world cup. At current moment, I am based in Whistler and up to my neck in processing. Web updates have been released offering a slight glimpse into some of the athletes and the terrain they slay. Link below should give you a bit of an idea of what is yet to come.

Thank you all for your interest.

I have the pleasure of sharing with you; a two month span of experiences and images. This gallery contains imagery form Monterey California and the infamous "Sea Otter Classic", a showcase  of un-natural abilities at the "Post Office" in Santa Cruz, a wildly dedicated group of builders and riders from Sacramento Ca to the woods of Pemberton BC and last but not least, a little "Fresh Air" from Jordie Lunn's Mom's house.

The time spent on the road has been, bar-none, the best time of my shooting career, a forming of what some might perhaps call "the dream team".  Kenny Smith, Tyler Morland and Taylor Sage have offered me so much insight into a world I am keen to understand and another that should probably be left un-touched! My gratitude to these guys hopefully is portrayed through the images and a story that they too can share.

All I can say is there was definitely some blood shed and plenty of socks lost, enjoy the gallery.

OH sh&#T!.. didn't see you there.

To tell you the truth my thoughts recently have been much more "geared" (pardon the linguistic), toward two wheels and berm snakes. I know what you’re thinking; my loss of faith is second or maybe third to everyone else. But an early morning rise accompanied by a warm Americano and an uncharacteristically warm breeze definitely had me flipping the pages of catalogues in search of this year’s wheel set. This was until much more than the stars aligned. I was given three days and an urge to visit a friend. Some of you may attest to the unforgiving highways that show themselves as I plan to travel somewhere. Without fail I seem to always be battling road conditions, but this time was different, I welcomed the challenge of poor visibility and eerie highways as I knew, when my sled was to find its way to the top of that nameless zone the fruits would be the sweet to my bitter.

Various attributes of one's character can be revealed when expectations don't exist. It seems pursuing an idea can truly be the meaning of life. A crew of us, set out for a series of races to be held in SoCal. The coined name, "The Bandito series". The Idea of bringing a simple camaraderie back to a sport that some feel has become somewhat segregated. Locations strewn about southern california, with a schedule so relaxed burrito brakes were a given. Core riders dialing core tracks could be the simplest description. Some with a focus on endurance and dead-pointing lines; others, focusing on product development whilst a few, where just there to ride bikes. We planned to use ten days to the last drop, yet we managed to squeeze out a couple more. With stops in Sacramento, Capitola and I5 corporations their wasn't much time left. Highway marathon drives supported by caffeine and copenhagen enabled us to maximize both hands of the clock. With every trip or experience alike I learn more about why I make the choices I do. I could go on and on about how rad it was... instead I urge you to put on your favorite tune and browse through the gallery. click the image above.

December was a month of uncertainty. A crumbling strata of human consumption. The weak seamed economy led to a mediocre stoke for a season that most live for.  Precipitation teased with a fashionably late appearance and few to many freeze rain cycles.

 The finer things in life seem to always come at a cost. A couple of close calls already to date this season has led me to wonder if the population is in a position to even save themselves..? Not likely, unless your left with a leg to stand on, or maybe even an arm to dig. Off color for some, but events close to home can elevate my emotions. Greed comes in many shapes and sizes, with saying this i should fill in the blank. Those of you that feel your recreation in the mountains is about satisfying a personal need, your right. But for heavens sake test YOUR limits not those of others. Be aware of your surroundings, understand your surroundings and learn how to adapt in the mountains. Cause and Effect. words I use for most decisions in my life.

Now I try and save the entry, click on the image for some beauty moments in the past couple weeks. Thanks. you know who you are.
