Photos on ESPN from 2010 Nissan Freeride World Tour

This is not my first time being published, but it is fun to see some of my new work out for public view.  Thanks to Sean Naugle from Black Owl Media for letting me help him shot the 2010 Nissan Freeride World Tour at Squaw Valley USA.  You can see the slideshow on ESPN website at ESPN Action Sports I also have a more extensive slideshow of just my work in my Gallery.

We met Dave Sherman of imagestockhouse.com randomly having lunch at a local pizzaria. He was in town to shoot the Nissan Freeride World Tour and ended up not being able to photograph the event. Sean was asked to assist him and Sean was nice enough to invite me along.

Riding up the tram at 7:00 am was a great experience.  Too bad it wasn't for fresh tracks though.  Sean wanted to shoot from the base of the run, so I stood up to capture the starting terrain.  Sasha was also at the top of the course shooting with me.

Even with a press pass, I was limited to the rim of the bowl so I set up under the roof line of the Tram Building.  Competitors used it as a launching point for their runs.  I was able to capture some great inverted flight.  Sean captured the image of the day from the base as the competitors hucked themselves off of some huge cliffs.

Enjoy the show, and hopefully the credits will appear on the espn.com website so you can distinguish between our shots.
