Ricky Carmichael

I went to Anaheim 2 two weekends ago and shot some photos of practice from the stands with my little 75-300 IS lens. It’s much easier not lugging around a ton of gear and getting hassled by the power-tripping, minimum wage security force of the Big A. Plus, the soft card media passes don’t give you much pull around there, so I took the path of least resistance and just didn’t shoot very many photos, acted like a tourist and just ejoyed the good racing. But I did add a few of the practice pics I got to the Motocross Photo Gallery, with appearances by A2 winner Ricky Carmichael, Nathan Ramsey, Billy Laninovich and James “Bubba” Stewart.

Joe Rich

I was lucky enough to go on a photo shoot with some of the etnies BMX team, including Mike Escamilla, Taj Mihelich, Ruben Alcantara, Morgan Wade, Joe Rich, John Heaton, Garrett Byrnes and Sandy Carson. We went to a killer pool up in the hills of Malibu, CA, which is owned by the owner of etnies, and they sessioned the pool until dark while we all drank some beers and had a vegan barbeque (yuck). Good times.

I think I got some pretty cool photos and I added a bunch of them to the spankin’ new BMX Photo Gallery. Enjoy.

Ronnie Renner - 120′ Seat Grab

^ This 120′ kicker was built for the “Job Site Invitational” this past Monday. Ronnie Renner stepped up to the plate and hit the jump first, then proceeded to huck this heart attack over it for your viewing pleasure. Nice job Renner!

I have a bunch more shots from the event but, of course, I haven’t had time to look through them all yet. When I do get to it I’ll throw up the choice shots for y’all.

Riders 4 Christ and etnies have a little write up about the event if you’re interested.
