Congrats Lifties!

Didn't get to shoot much, but here's some images from the Telluride Terrain Parks 2023 FREERide Rail Jam. Feel free to tag yourself & friends or I can.
Hopefully a video to follow this evening or tomorrow.

(Just in case Telluride sweet deals doesn't post them)

Nice news came today from Behind The Shutter by way of Ellie Plotkin - Images I made with violetdeardorff_ and Azlynn Brookens were selected for two of their Best of Portraits. Along with the Best of 2022 image that I made with Jesse East to start the year, things are going well.

Getting a little love from the ShutterFest crew in their latest ad.

Absolutely blown away by the news today that one of the images I made with the incredibly talented .austin at SF21 was chosen as the Best of Shutterfest!
Thank you to all of the family! And, of course, thank you to Lauren for being so great to work with . I can’t wait to shoot more with you!
More to come…

Sorry it took so long but I've been slammed lately (and I have to ride too!).
Not all of these are my best work and usually I wouldn't share those, but I realized a lot of riders won't have images of you racing if you're not in Pro class. So, if I got a shot of you and it was even mildly in focus, I thought I'd get them out there.
If you see yourself or a friend, tag away!

A few images of a surf session at the yesterday.

On Saturday, the third stop of the Big Mountain Enduro tour arrived in our neck of the woods here in southern Colorado. Hopefully its the start of a long relationship with BME.

Riders fought through a few quick bursts of heavy weather, crazy amounts of mosquitoes and distracting views on the challenging course featuring stages both in our young bike park and in some of our beautiful backcountry trails as well. Most traveled over 9000' vert climbing (lift assisted), and 10,000' back down over the 33+ mile day.

We rounded out the day with a somewhat abbreviated, but no less exciting, DH race on World Cup.

The event had an excellent showing by both our continually growing local bike community and Pro's and AM's from all across the country. Approximately 450 riders for a first time event is an excellent turn out and will hopefully help Telluride to keep the ball rolling as we keep growing as a biking destination.

A big thanks to everyone at the Telluride Ski & Golf (&Bike!) Resort, Town of Mountain Village, Town of Telluride and others that made this event a success. And, especially, a huge hanks to all of the trail builders - past & present- that have helped to create the riding opportunities here.

Congratulations to ALL of the riders in this event. Riding the miles and racing the descent stages starting at a base elevation of over 9500' is quite a challenge. Just surviving this one is a feat in of itself.

*Sorry I haven't had time to tag riders in the images yet but I wanted to get all of these out for you. If you see yourself or a friend, drop a name in a comment on the image and I'll get as many tagged as possible. There will be more to come.

I only made it down for the final couple innings this year but I managed to get a few pics of the action. Patrol had a lead but the Lifties managed to battle back in the end to squeak out a back-to-back victory. A great game and, as always, a lot of fun!
