I really want to take out that ugly tower…

Anaheim 3 was my first time ever shooting on the track at a Supercross. It was pretty damn cool to be down there next to the action! Plus, the photo possibilities open up quite a bit when you’re not drunk and getting kicked out of the stands by security for shooting photos in front of families and an even drunker, angry dad (true story). Sunday was spent recovering from limping around in the dirt all day Saturday with my injured hip, back and groin…thank god I saved some of those prescription pills! Super Bowl Sunday party? Not for me. Sunday Valium party? Just what the doctor ordered.

Anyways, the racing was great. Chad Reed was looking good and I thought he might have had a chance, but Stewart got him back and it just wasn’t to be for Reedy at A3. But I’m sure if you’re reading this then you probably follow Supercross and know what’s up, so I’ll spare you from my recap. Just enjoy the photos…

Note: Sometimes my photo gallery gets really slow (and annoying!), so I suggest clicking the “View as a slide show” link at the top of each gallery page (practice gallery & race gallery). It’ll pop up a flash slide show thingy which is really quick and way faster than clicking “next” through all the photos.

Also, another possibility is to go directly to my Flickr page where all the photos are hosted at…

- Practice photos on Flickr
- Race photos on Flickr

I think now would be a good time for some wallpapers. Gimme a couple days to catch up and I’m on it.

Check out the Feb. ‘07 issue of The Skateboard Mag to see my first ever published skate photos. I’m pretty pumped about this, even if they did misspell my name (Ryan Copley?) in the byline (is it a byline for photogs?). The skater is etnies.com Skate editor and Skateboard Mag contributor, Rob Brink.

Everyday since posting “100 Cool Motocross Photos on Flickr!” I’ve seen some new photos show up in my Bloglines from the Flickr photos tagged with “motocross” feed that I want to add to the list. But I can’t ’cause that would defeat the whole purpose of whatever it is, that it is, right? Right. So I guess I’ll just give y’all a heads up… subscribe to the Flickr motocross feed and be happy! Don’t know how? Learn how!

Inspired by the guys at The Hot Crew and their Top 100 skate photos, I put together this list of 100 cool motocross photos on Flickr. Although they all might not be magazine quality, they’re definitely still cool to check out. Enjoy.

Last week was the etnies Holiday Festival, where some needy kids came by the etnies Skatepark to hang with Santa, some pro skaters, and take home some free shoes. It was a cool deal. Seeing as I how my office is walking distance from the park, I cruised down to shoot some photos of the dudes skating. Watching guys like Ronnie Creager and Ryan Sheckler session the park is pretty bad-ass and makes me realize how bad I suck at everything! It’s kinda like watching Carmichael live at an Outdoor National or Twitch at Ocotillo Wells… amazing.

Check my Ronnie Creager wallpapers that Brink put up.

I just added a few new things to the Tear Sheet gallery of random shit that I’ve done…Yokohama poster, SCORE race program ads, and a couple new etnies ads.
