bigquotesRyan Berrecloth and Aaron Laroque were piecing together a little something for later this season and asked me to come along to shoot some photos. With my little knowledge of the North Shore trails I seemed to remember a little gem Ryan mentioned we would be shooting this day. I hadn't heard the name before, but the description matched my memory. A less than perfect run up and unforgiving landing zone that definitely lived up to it's name of Brutus.

Ryan gapped it more than once allowing for me to set up a few angles and come away with a sequence. With not a lot of incline to land on, Ryan shut it down and decided it was time to move on. It had been a pretty good day already, but I soon found out this was the breakfast gap and things got progressively bigger as the day went on.

 Its a huge gap drop for sure, seeing it on video doesnt do it justice. Berrecloth is a big kid, so hucking a drop 25 feet up and at least 20 feet out, you're bound to hit like a ton of bricks. But hey its easy to make comments, I say post your video or maybe commenting on this and not riding bikes is your game. Lame. Sick move Ryan. Props.
