Ricky Adam beats us to it

Out on my travels i’m always looking for spots to photograph our team riders on. For over a year I’ve been driving past this place, mentally saving it for a rainy day when we were going to hopefully use it for a catalogue shot. Until i opened Dig Mag an issue ago and was confronted with this little number from Digs legendary lensman and highjumper. now it’s game over.

Ricky along with the wethepeople team was on a chance drive down from the North along the west coast of Wales on their way to catch the ferry to the Emerald Isle. With a van full of riders he saw this spot jammed on the anchors and found a willing accomplice in Jason Phelan. This tailwhip was the result. You are a little bugger Adam.

    I live just down the road from this and have been seing the potential for so long. BUT there is a saying about defecating on ones doorstep :(
