So I got an invite to attend and photograph the Best Trick Competition at the 2013 Goldman Games. How could I say no? 3 hour drive, I'd get to shoot all these awesome riders busting out sick tricks, all the Monster Energy drinks and Clif Bars I can handle...and to top it all off I got to see more than one person backflip and 360 over a huge fire pit! This is the stuff dreams are made of right?! So I made the trek and had a blast not only spectating but capturing sick images of all the contestants doing what they do best. I had a blast and hope to be invited back to shoot the next event. Thanks again for the invite Jamie!
