Sports

It's that time again, where I try to figure out why I haven't posted anything in months and resolve to start posting more. But who am I kidding? I am a sporadic person at best, so I should probably just give up and roll with it. It's just my nature, after all...

So, anyway, here's some "action sports" photography for your viewing pleasure. No, its not the kind of "sports" with guys in sweaty, dirty uniforms, wrestling each other on a mud soaked field, but there's guys (and 1 girl!) and mud, so it's close.


This is what's called a rail jam. This one was sponsored by Colorado Ski Shop. - which is not located in Colorado, for that matter. Riders compete by performing tricks on rails, boxes, pipes, wall rides, and several other creative features. However, the winner of this rail jam was whomever did not fall on his (or her) face and seriously embarrass themselves. I tried on my "pretend photojournalist hat" that day and I sort of liked the way it fit.
