2014 in 20 Photos with JB Liautard
 |
 Before the beginning of the season, I started taking photos with Olivier Cuvet. I remember this one, because we woke up at 4 AM to climb on foot and pushing the bikes by night up the hill to get the sunrise 2 hours later. |
 |
| Still with Olivier Cuvet during a roadtrip near Grenoble in France. |
 |
| Well, I had the chance to meet Pierre Edouard Ferry last year thanks to a roadtrip organized by 26in with Louis Reboul. We stayed 2 days at this sick spot in south of France named The Black hills. |
 |
| Louis Reboul doing his thing during an evening session at Gap. |
 |
| That jump was half destroyed but after few minutes of work on the landing, it was game on. |
 |
| Louis Reboul whipping on a hip. |
 |
| Loic Trouillas is one of the man with whom I started mountain biking, last year we shot a lot of stupid things together. |
 |
| Anthony Messere at Crankworx Les 2 Alpes, still can't believe that height. |
 |
| Sunset sesh during the Whip Off was one of the greatest moment in Les 2 Alpes. |
 |
| Thanks to that unknown photographer and Bernardo Cruz whipping in the Background. |
 |
| Antoine Bizet killing it on the road gap of the slopestyle course. |
 |
| This shot was taken under the first jump off the whale tail. |
 |
| Not so proud of this shot but it seems that people like it. Olivier Cuvet on the airbag in front of the stunning background of Les 2 Alpes. |
 |
| This year was the first edition of the Chatel Bike Festival, I was the filmer for the team of Anoine Dubourgnon and Olivier Cuvet, but I had a few minutes to take photos on the last evening sesh on the face. Pierre Edouard Ferry on the hip. |
 |
| I also met Yoann Barelli who came to my home spot just before flying to Whistler, that was quite close for this one. |
 |
| Another angle. |
 |
| The last event for me was the final round of the Worldcup in Meribel. Here is Loris Vergier during the training, he won the race that afternoon. |
 |
| Rainy trip to the black hills with Loic Trouillas, there was a weather alert and it was really hard to ride and shoot but it was sick! |
 |
| Same trip, the day before, where the sun was still shining. |
 |
| Nicolas Terrier is one of the last riders I met in 2014. |
Thanks to all these riders - 2015 is and will be even better! Can't wait for the upcoming season!

Fantastic photos, it would be great to see more photographers like this in POY instead of guys on the pinkbike payroll.
