stuff.

I always kinda found it hard to portray the fun of mountain biking in images. Usually  only the BIG stuff gets shot, like a gnarly downhill section, or a big drop or jumps. The fact is i know so many people who just love ripping down a single track with their buddies or hanging out at a skate park trying some different stuff. If you look at a larger version of this shot (on my flickr if you like) , you can see that ben has a huge smile on his face, even though i made him ride through the puddle a second time to get this shot. There something about being totally secluded, just your buddies chilling out. Being able to scream and laugh and just do whatever you want.. no real rules, that is I think where the true fun of most extreme sports comes in, doing things that usually would not be done, taking things to the edge, or just chilling out with your buddies. Same goes for life i think, often times you can completely forget a day, within a week... even though we got rained out and walking back up moose totally sucked, i realized how much fun it was, to just be hanging out with my friends, and just having a good time.
