Hey y'all

so i got a boat load of pictures taking up space on my computer... what better to do with them than share with the world eh? so anyhoot- i figure this forum might be interested in a picture of the day thread. feel free to kick in pictures of yourself or your crew- trials or not.

start things off with a pic of me downtown denver-ville dropping to a rail. it looked a lot bigger through spomer's wide angle but i thought this one looked cool with the big buildings going on there:

 

[WhiteRavenKS]

i meant to start this earlier so i guess it's already tomorrow pic time... i doubt that made sense...

here is local trials homie/hero Josh Stevenson dropping from the big assed wall to the block below. about 7 feet down to rear wheel landing... fancy. i had been eye-ing up that line for a year and he hijacked it from me and im glad he did!

 

[Mtnrider]

Damn!

Those are SWEET!!!

You guys got some skills for sure!

 

[where_am_i?]

nicness- that gap was impresive,
do you have any of josh dropping onto the jearsey barrier?

Nice pic, I like the wide shot with the buildings and photogs too, always like different angles! Keep 'em coming... nice trials vids as well.

Here is one from CU campus- big gap next to the underpass warm up spot. photo by Matt Lovewell.

the completion of the gap. i tried to turn around and come back but had to toss a foot down because my rear brake slipped.... stupid maguras. photo by Matt Lovewell.

 

[WhiteRavenKS]

time for another picture here.

this is Matt "Dominated Colorado, next- the World" Robinson doing a small drop with Horsetooth res in the background. what this picture doesnt show you is the 40 foot straight down cliff he is dropping inches away from.... head games much?

 

[WhiteRavenKS]

mmm... bench gap.... tasty.... 8 feet static take off- my shoulders hurt afterwards.

 

[WhiteRavenKS]

Josh- rail wedge... to rear. hard.

[Ascentrek]

Today's pic from Fine Park again in Boulder- this time of Mike Snyder gapping to nose up from the rock in the lower right to the one ahead of his front wheel:

 

[WhiteRavenKS]

here is a shot from Horsetooth res up in fort collins. Josh Stevenson is putting the new prototype Maxxis Creepy Crawler mod tires through some good ol' fashioned testing:

 

[fasterTHANyou]

nice pics... the last one is really cool

 

[WhiteRavenKS]

cool, im glad you like 'em. i will keep posting as long as people enjoy the pics!

here is the second part of that last pic- Josh doing a big ol' bronco lunge all the way to the ground in the lower right hand corner. word. maxxis tires get our stamp of approval.

 

[WhiteRavenKS]

time for some more- i got a little ahead of myself before but now it's time for more pics:

here is one from the indoor CATS sessions in boulder. im doing a sidehop to rear wheel here- looks to be about 3 feet high. sorry for the sneezy lens.

 

[WhiteRavenKS]

it's close enough to tomorrow for another picture...

here is one of me on CU campus. this damn planter was begging me to get up on it... i did- barely and only two years after Matt Robinson did it! (sarcasm much?) it's about 43-44 inches to rear. burrito supreme.

mmmmmmm... drop gap...

 

[WhiteRavenKS]

ok- so the wedge is one of the hardest moves to nail in trials. you are on the outside of your wheelbase sandwhiched between two objects. normally those objects are stable (or at least dont move all that much- see end of cotrials 4 for the double rail wedge). this time though, i made the foolish mistake of trying to wedge with my rear wheel on a rock that moves considerably. carnage ensues. Photo by Ty from Ft. Collins. this is the pre-set up for the move, my front wheel will come down to the rock down and slightly behind my front wheel.

 

[WhiteRavenKS]

trying to put the kind of power to the rear wheel needed to get out of a wedge on a rock that wobbles like 5 inches back and forth is not my smartest of theories. this is me playing the role of ammo in a human catapult. my rear wheel shifted behind the take off rock and my front basically didnt go anywhere when i took off. great. photo by Ty again.

(notice the "oh shizzle" look on my face)

 

[Full Trucker]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

I take back everything bad I ever said about you trials guys being sissies!!
