Stopper

|| This is a maco view of the caliper and stopper on a full-suspension bike. Formula has been making bomber brakes for years, and with the RX they nailed the benefit to price point. Here’s what your brake rotor looks like up close and personal. ||

Mind The Gap

A wooden jump leads up to a massive canyon gap at the Red Bull Rampage downhill mountain biking event in Utah.

|| Yup, this gap jump is huge. We arrived at the Red Bull Rampage venue a day early to see practice runs and watch the building take place. A competitor eyes up the canyon gap. Later, only a handful of the professional freeride and downhill mountain bike riders would hit this gap. A grip of outdoor and sports photographers were in attendance. I can’t blame the crowds, this is an opportunity for some amazing outdoor photos.

Virgin, Utah is hot and dirty too…real hot. Even though it took me about a week to clean the dust out of my lenses, I would say it was worth the trip. I traveled down to the event with photographers Re Wikstrom, Stan Evans, and Erik Seo. Everyone bagged their share of photos and much fun was had. ||

Powder Mountain Motocross Pt. 1

|| I shot these photos at the Powder Mountain AMA motorcross event at Powder Mountain a few summers ago. Powder Mountain is a low key destination during the winter, but during the summer they set up a world-class motorcross course.

Monster Energy sponsored a dirt jump event in the parking lot just before the pro category hit the dirt bike track. This is definitely an event worth checking out if you live in Utah and it happens again. The people watching is top notch, as evidenced by the mohawk shooting photos of the one-footer at the dirt event (above). ||
