Ok, how about we do a summer photo contest, eh? Send me or post your pic in this message and the winner gets their shot on our homepage for a few weeks. I think we can set up a poll and everyone can vote. If that doesn't work I will pick one using my keen artistic ability  Kiss

Oh, and include the date, location and brief description...

Cool!  When's the cutoff date?  I'll be sure to take some pics of my new ride when I break it in!   Grin  OH, and can we Photoshop it to make it more artistic (like adding filters and such), not to adjust the actual subject matter (like making that 2 foot jump look like a 20-footer).   Undecided

Standing next to the bikes and not riding them?!?! Psheyat, posers!  Tongue

But seriously, very good shot, scenery is terrific, just crop it a hair at the bottom to get rid of the photographer's head's shadow, and bring the subjects a little closer to the focus of the shot.  Wink

Here's one from Jim Thorpe.  You had to walk that ledge in bike shoes carrying your bike.  And you thought the pipes in Wiss were scary!

Hunter, can you put up a poll which links to this post so everyone can vote? Summer is over and we should post a pic or some pics on the homepage. Maybe we can have a "Photo COntest Winners" little section with the pics in this post flashing randomly like we have for the photo album? Let me know o'Web guru..

A little late to the party. This is one of many taken on a recent trip to Eastern British Columbia. Keystone Standard Basin in Revelstoke. Unbelievable scenery, and awesome apline singletrack goodness!
