This is kind of an ordinary shot, until you look at who the riders are. Wade Simmons, Brett Tippie, and Richie Schley. Arguably the three dudes who started freeride...still at it after all these years.

 Excellent work. I truly enjoyed the semi-desaturated shots, especially the "DH is the New XC" shot. Loving the feel of these, and way to capture the moment(s). Smile
