I had the pleasure of shooting action photos of all the competitors in this year’s Park City Point 2 Point mountain bike race, a 75 mile endurance race with about 12,000 feet of climbing.

Dirt Rag asked if I could shoot Salt Lake City professional downhill mountain biker Amanda Batty for their “Personality Issue” and of course […]

According to the PR material the show publishes, it’s the “largest collection of innovative gear, apparel, footwear and accessories for outdoor sports products.” I’ve attended OR a few times but this was the first time the full scale of the event actually […]
