If you have never seen the Monster slope-style contest in Whistler at x-works, you’re missing the single most exciting thing to see all year in town. Huge spectator crowds to see the high flying action of the latest mountain bike tricks and stunts. The folks at Monster hired me to cover their event from a spectators overview of the event and their overall presence at the event. Shooting a bit more of the venue and spectators than the action. They did an amazing job hosting the contest with a kick ass after party featuring Mix-master Mike at the Longhorn below.

Brandon is at the top of his game throwing down the most cutting edge tricks on these amazing custom built jumps in the alpine built by Paddy Kaye in less than one week. This years film premieres in Vegas at Interbike.

Some shots of Ashleigh McIvor in the midst of her heavy training program leading up to the Games last summer. Ashleigh was still at home in Whistler for this shoot and about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime. This was a shoot for one of her new sponsors Cold FX and an editorial piece in Chill magazine. Congratulations to Ashleigh for her gold medal win on home turf last winter!
