New!

So I'm riding shotgun on the way home from my cousin's basketball game in Lexington, and I get this random urge to shoot some clouds. The first and third shots were shot at about 60 miles an hour, and the second one was at a stoplight.
In other news, I now have a Flickr as well HERE

Basketball

These are from the Huntington (WV) High- Scott County (KY) High game at Memorial Coliseum in Lexington, KY, back in February, '07. At the time, Huntington High School was the number-one high school team in the nation, with the likes of Patrick Patterson (who now plays for the University of Kentucky) and OJ Mayo (plays for the University of Southern California). Scott County won this game by four points, and soon thereafter traveled to Huntington, where Huntington beat Scott County by four points as well.

Feliz Navidad!

I'd just like to say Merry Christmas to everyone! I was too busy setting up/playing my new Xbox360 (HALO 3 EDITION!) to take pictures. Well, I take that back. My dad bought me a new 18-55mm lens (the kit lens for the Nikon D40 and D40X), so I took a couple of pictures. I'll get around to posting them up sometime :)

Pics from today: 12.22.07

Today was a good day. I got to ride with Bargo and Sean, which was cool, since I hadn't rode with Bargo in like six months.

1. Gangstas- Just a photo I took of Bargo and Sean while they were talking about some trick

2. Sky- The weather today was kinda weird. It started out super bright, and then these clouds just started moving in out of nowhere. This was taken as the clouds were first showing up.

3. Sean- what a goof.

4. Sean, whip air- This is a ridiculously hard trick on that ramp, because it's just a launch ramp, and it's hard to keep your bike in the ramp when you try to air it. To make matters more complicated, Sean decided to throw a tailwhip into the mix.

5. Bargo, footjam- Bargo doing a footjam in the middle of a line. I'm diggin' the sky in the background.

6. Bargo, tombstone whip- Bargo decided to throw down a whip from the quarter to the bank over the tombstone.

7. Sean, lookback- Lookbacks are one of my favorite tricks, and Sean lays one out in perfect form.

8. Bargo, tombstone whip- This is just another angle of Bargo doing the tombstone whip.

Cody Gay and a couple of pics from Frankfort

This is Cody Gay. Yeah, his last name is Gay. Cody likes to hop over everything. See exhibits 3-8 if you don't believe me.

1. & 2. Cody- these were a couple of pictures I took while we were eating in Lexington Center during one of our street sessions.

3. Fish hop- For some reason, Fish wanted Cody to hop over him. So, of course, Cody did it.

4. Bush hop- bush hop, 'nuff said.

5. Parking lot gap- this was just a fun little gap from a higher parking lot to a lower one. Nothing extraordinary.

6. 3 set with flat- This little three set was right next to the parking lot gap. There's a flat on the end, so it's like around a five set in length. The worst thing about this spot is these little plastic poles that are stuck into the ground in line with the rails, I guess to keep people from griding them, but can be potentially hazardous if you manage to mess up on something easy, like hopping the stairs.

7. Wall hop- Cody was nervous about doing this one. The hop over isn't hard, because on the other side, the wall is like a foot and a half high. But he wasn't sure about the three-plus foot drop that you see here.

8. Rail hop- This is a six-stair rail in Frankfort, KY. The coolest thing about this spot is the landing- the ground around this building is a bunch of huge removable pieces, and underneath it's semi-hollow, so when you land it makes this really weird sound.

9. Mike Dilts, wallride- This is under a railroad bridge in Frankfort. It had been raining before we came into Frankfort to ride that night, and so this wallride was soaked. To make it even better, there was this random yellow rail about three feet from the wall.

10. Dilts-E, icepick

Children At Play trailer

This is a little trailer that I put together for a video me and Dilts-E are working on. I'm not sure if we're going to do it by parts, by spots, or just random riding footage... Actually, I'm kinda digging a random riding footage format, now that I think about it.
Anywho, the video should include riding from:
Cody Gay
Kyle Ruschell
Evan Ruschell
Mike Dilts
Me
and probably some other people...

Enjoy!

Short post today!

1. Mike Dilts, tabletop- Taken with my first digital camera, an Olympus point-and-shoot. This picture was learning experience, because it was the first time I had ever messed around with Photoshop, so I just decided to use this picture to play around with and get a feel for what I was doing.

2. Ty Fite, 50-50- This one was taken from the middle of a sequence I shot of Ty doing a 50-50 on this handledge/hubba thing at our skatepark.

3. Sam Mullins, huge stiffy- This photo really doesn't do any justice to seeing Sam do this in person. He had to have been getting at least five-and-a-half to six feet of air that day, but actually being there and watching him, it looked like it was 20 feet.
