Freeriding!




Quick lesson for those who are not into the cycling thing: Freeriding is sort of a new segment of mtn biking. All those bmx kids that used to fly off things and jump down stairs - well, they grew up and became freeriders. They still fly of of things, they just do it with bigger bikes.

Dave and Brock are two such guys. Dave built a place on his grandmother's land in Somerset, WI, that he calls "Snake Trails". It consists of large sets of dirt doubles and wooden ramps (and other obstacles that I don't have names for). All of them are for going big. Big air, big gaps, all things big.

Our first photo session actually got rained out. I managed to fire off about 6 frames before the rain was too much. Here are a few. More to come when I revisit Snake Trails in October. Pray for dry dirt, boys.

Also, Dave is trying to find a place for himself in the bike video world. He has a decent start from what I have seen. I'll try to work on a link so that you can see for yourself. Enjoy.
