nope, you're right, it's my dead sailor style. this is the first time I had hit this thing and the photo was good so we just kept riding.

I disagree that hit is steep and fast. this picture doesn't even show how big it is. PEOPLE the cheese grater is HUGE.. clean color, NICE PIC BRO.

What, less color then the original photo? I am going out tomorrow, stoked to play with the iso more!

flag bradwalton (Apr 14, 2009 at 22:55)
well I shoot RAW files so there's always a recipe of white balance and levels adjustments, this one does have less color than the original, just the style I was feeling at the time
