    Hey there party people!

    Havent really met many of you yet aside from SHINKEN kickin my butt around the Loop but I wanted to offer my photography services to the group. I shoot for a couple offroad related magazines and would love to spend some time shooting everyone here jumping, flipping, bashing, you name it for fun! I cant really ride with my gear somewhere far out but if we can find a good location where I can shoot you guys doing some trick stuff for the cam I think it be fun. Who doesnt want some bitchin shots of themselves doing crazy things blown up poster size on their wall?

    Anyway, just a thought I cannot make the Plunge this weekend although I know it be some great footage. Maybe sometime over the next month or 2 we can all figure out a good day to head out somewhere fun and instead of a hard trail day just get some shots.

    Let me know what you think!

    I like that idea! Hmm . . . where would be a good spot? Jordan, what's some features/critieria that make a trail a good photo oppurtunity?

    What a cool offer, Jordan. Will be a true test of your skills to make me look good--I'm one ugly hucker. Glad to give it a try, though.

    I cannot afford to shoot film any longer I have to produce results so quickly for magazine print that I just cant shoot film fast enough. I still have some film cams though and occasionally I will even rent some medium format backs but just dont do it much anymore.

    You guys are way more familiar with the trails in socal than I am. Where are some good spots we could meet up as a group and get some cool pics? Critieria really is just find a good location that people can do something aside from pics of just going down a flat trail. Think of what kinda stuff you see on the covers of mags or even some of the videos I have seen of people posted on here and MTBR look cool. I just dont know where those places are! haha
