Photos of YOU riding!

We all take photos here, but how often do we get photos taken of us while we're riding?! For me it's certainly not that often, so I thought it'd be a good idea for us to post the few rare photos we may have of ourselves riding... After all, riding is the reason we're here right? Smile

I really thought a topic like this already existed, but I couldn't find one...

I hardly ever get any taken of me, and even fewer that I'd keep.

Here are a couple:

********** WARNING - XC CONTENT (but no lycra) ************

P.S. Jedi - I've noticed that a couple of the pics of you riding are the ones you've submitted for POTM. Does that mean that set your cameraphone up with a timer and then manage to catch yourself in those poses, all by yourself? If so then you must be good. Or maybe you should give credit to whoever actually took the photos Wink

I was thinking to try some self portrait stuff while riding, but the only one I've done is this:

However, Nikki has taken a few of me. Smile

And this was by Sean while I as on his bike:

I often have friends take photos of me, but rarely are they good...

Heres my favourite 2 even though they're not great photos...

Things is that the second one makes it look like the drops 3 foot but the 'second me' is actually the landing, would've been better from a different angle I think.

Here's a shot of my from the last event of the season in November. I snapped my collar bone on 6 February when I laid my road bike over in a 20 MPH turn. Split my skid-lid in several places. I picked up my cameras for the first time in many months last week. My spin time was reduced to the trainer only. I've been riding around the neighborhood for 10-30 minutes in the past couple weeks though. I tried the easiest mountain bike trail we have here last week and that was just plain stupid. I'll have to stick to the road until it's completely healed. I never realized how much pressure mountain biking puts on the upper body until that ride...
