I have met a lot of rad people since my introduction to the mountain bike scene back in the high school days. A lot of inspiration comes from people that are so passionate about what they do. I have been inspired with not only the amazing riding I have witnessed but also, how amazing it is to capture that riding. Inspired by the shows I have worked with and the people who capture it, I needed to try some these roles first hand. Working as co producer with my partner Mike Kinrade producing the web show STUND I have also taken on the role for the show as lifestyle photographer.
I first got into professional photography when I started working allot with guys like Harookz and Sterling Lorence. I remember how rad of a feeling it would be to land a big air and then how much rader it was to see how much bigger they made it look! haha. I recently had the chance to cover Redbull Elevation. A premier BMX dirtjump comp held in Whistler B.C. Amazing!
I snaked my way in for a media pass and there I was. Sitting next to about 50 "colleague's". I only made it to Whistler just as the finals of the comp were firing up. Myself and Ryan Schnepf had what we would call a leisurely morning. But the results were wicked! Im in deep for about 5 grand of camera gear now thanks to Harookz helping me spend more money. I wanted to do something with the shots. So here ya go! Nice work teammate Claw on tapping into the top 10!
So here ya go, just in time for everyone up here at Crankworx!, Enjoy the scene.
