Jojo, 2007 summer catalogue cover shot, evening run at Almabtrieb 2007 on the then-new Revolution speedboard... new topmount info coming soon!
...and here he is qualifying... tidy into the first corner...
Almabtrieb 2007 was a good one... with Jojo Martinez and Pete Connolly ripping the racetrack, and Matt and Nick laying down some urethane at the evening slide jams with the Brazilians, we had all the bases covered. The weather was perfect for the whole race, the organisation was dialled, and we didn't miss our ferry for once - oh wait actually we did miss our ferry. But it was still amazing, and we'll be going to Almabtrieb 2011 for sure... be there if you can!
Pete C into the first corner.. FAST.
Mischo Erban... winner of the most aerodynamic man in 2007 (and probably 2008, 2009, 2010...)
Speedchecks (controlled sliding to brake into a corner) had yet to break onto the race scene... this year was all about heavy footbraking into the first corner. A couple of French guys were trying it without footbraking and eating it all weekend... then Clement and Mischo eventually made it and blew everyone away ... downhill had just changed!
Nick, one foot capslide, scary photog moment!
Way more in this set on the Lush Flickr, if you were there, spot yourself!
More photos coming soon... Late night skatepark mission with the light setup this week if the weather holds...
