Everything is a competition.  Matt and Austin go at on a sweet root bump.

I guess Austin started it.

Templeton agrees, this spot looks fun.
5582matttreemelon.jpg
Matt boosted it...
5582austinmelon3.jpg
But Austin tweaked it.  You decide.

Vote for Nick, Billy Marks, or any TOY rider here...

Ed Across The Pond

 
5558redumbrella.jpg
 As Ed has mentioned, it rained a lot.
5558edexplodehead1.jpg
 This made the Tempster's head explode.
5558edredeye.jpg
 And frustrated him to the point of getting a weird pink eye.
5558eggleson.jpg
 But this did give him the opportunity to practice his Eggleston photo tactics, if you're familiar with him.
5558diegoattackrainhubba.jpg
 On a spot search mission, Diego got amped to get down.  
Scope this interview with him on a photo website.  Just scroll down to find it.

Kincade.

Bill.

Or get weirdly German with Deanna.
