Jan 8, 2012
by Tom Towers  
Here is a round up of my favourite and most popular photos iv taken in 2011...
2011 started off well, still had the d70s at the time and all was well. Got a few chances to get up to Hamsterly at the start of the year;

Lee whipping it over the table
Easter came round and i got a chance to head out to Alicante, Spain. Spent 10 days there, met some locals who took us to one of their nationals track. Had a good laugh, couldn't speak much Spanish and they couldn't speak much English but we got by.

We also headed out to Le Fenasosa bike park, which had some awesome jumps and some pretty damn rocky trails!
Got a few snaps whilst i wasnt riding,

I was heading back to the main house for lunch when i saw someone pushing back up, i asked him where he was going and i got the answer 'roadgap' I literally ran down to the road and set the camera up just in time to catch this.
There was another road gap further down aswel which a local guy was sessioning, this stepdown was a bit smaller than the roadgap but it had a table top jump just after it which sent you up like 15 foot in the air which he got an awesome clicked whip out of!
photo
Managed to get a pic of the stepdown
Most of the year was spent riding local trails, which have to be the most photographed trails in the area. But i managed to get a few good and unusual shots.

And Ant finally got his first backflip to dirt
Later in the year i managed to brake my d70s in a biking accident which meant i didnt have a camera for the whole of summer, which sucked but I did get a screen grab of a pretty awesome moment from the summer trip to the alps..
big f*cker of a moo cow right there ladies and gentlemen
Came face to face with a big ol' cow!
I soon replaced the d70s with a d200, and i got back into taking photos.. Had a few trips to Wales including deans birthday, where we went to Moelfre:
Got a few pics from this epic weekend
