Title: not all good photos are about how much air is between bike and ramp
Post by: Philbert on August 17, 2007, 12:18 AM: i've been having a hard time lately with all these photos floating around in magazines of yet another tailwhip, turndown, even the old school no-hander seems to be trick of the month at the moment. some photographer came to my local miniramp to get used to his new camera, asked if he could take some shots and emailed some to me. i thought i'd share this one because i like it. its actually part of a sequence from sprocket to icepick to tap but this particular shot of the sequence did it for me. trick done and just about to drop back in on my beautiful standard bullit. (although at the moment it still has track dust all over it from mk07) i suppose more than anything it reminds me of good times! not all about trying to kill yourself to get noticed. something a lot of the kids today don't seem to understand!

Its not the tricks, its the riding. I sometimes have as much fun on the way too the ramp, as I do when I get there. And thats not to say Im 'streetin' it up all the way, just riding along, popin the odd manual.
