Making a splash

Moving away from the falls for a bit (I have a few more from the last two events), here’s one rider that managed to make a big splash through the puddle at Central Mass 8 and stay on board.

Stopped in his tracks

It’s another stormy day here in the Lower Hudson Valley. Flood warnings are in effect for the better part of the day. I’m reminded of the Central Mass 8 race two weeks ago, where the large puddle formed and gave me a good amount of material to work with. Here we have someone who nearly […]

Event Hosts get in on the action

After the official racers made their way down the hill, event hosts Rob and Aaron of Faceplant Boardriders would make their way down as well. Why stand around and waste a perfectly good hill, right? 🙂 After the finalists made their way down in the last heat, people were also welcome to run the hill […]

Admiring the view

Since I started shooting to work on my skills, nature was my primary subject. It’s still one I pursue with some regularity, as I look around for different parks and trails in my area. What I enjoy most is where nature and man-made meet, like some of those spots where I find graffiti. I had […]

Hay, don’t flip out…

That’s exactly what happened though. He did a full flip onto his back. This was the first of many crashes I witnessed at the Kings Gap race. That’s Gary off to the side. I was catching him on his way through the first major turn in the first heat. He got very close to the […]

Kings Gap 2017

How to move up the upload queue.

I’m on my second pass of sorting through my photos from the downhill race.  I started around 380 photos. Now, I’m down to 351, starting to get picky over what’s really presentable. It’s hard to decide what to post next, but then I notice this guy’s giving a little pose for the camera(s).

Watch those puddles

Yesterday, I made an early morning trek to Harvard, Mass. to check out the Central Mass Skate Festival. It’s a 3 day event, with all kinds of skate action. I was bringing up a few riders for the event and we made our way back to NY after they were done racing. Saturday was all […]
