19 Portraits from Darkfest

 Please tell us more about CJ. Actually maybe not. I already feel inadequate enough.

 @dro-cfr: CJ is awesome!! She is apart of this new underground/grassroots movement happening right now in the Women's side of the freeride and slopestyle scene. Her insta is @cj.selig and she is a great freerider. She has hit multiple large features at the old Rampage site and she has an awesome trick bag!

Its been great to see so many women interested in joining these types events and contests as well seeing so many women and men who are interested in watching them. I think the current barrier is that these women have to push to be apart of these event, they arent necessarily invited or welcomed all the time (although this is changing!). The way everyone here can support these efforts is to watch women's events and express to organizers and media channels (like Pinkbike) how interested and excited you are to see these women sending it.

A big portion of the effort has to come from the women actually doing the work, but another effort has to come from the media and the audience expressing its interest. So glad to see so many people want to know more about her!!!

 Good on ya. Thanks for the positive and supportive post@pressurecooker:

 @pressurecooker agreed on all fronts!

 @ridersmitty: Wow, thank you guys SO MUCH for the support!

 For darkfest he should be Van Stellenbergen

 No thats Bas

 cause they'be been made close up with 35mm lens, wich gives a bit of shape distortion, an unnatural look. I don't like it neither, works well with some faces and some others look like shit.

 also, I should proof read for typos lol

 The fill light is from below, so you get a bit of a sinister look. I like it, but it's definitely different from the usual.

 I like to think of Jesus like, with giant eagles’ wings and singin’ lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd with like an Angel Band, and I’m in the front row, and I’m hammered drunk.
