Say 2008 Val di Sole and only one person comes to mind. This shot defines Sam Hill in that era: Iron Horse, number one plate, focused eyes, and the Black Snake racecourse.

Light Show

Is there ever a bad last-light sunset in Utah? This is from a 2009 photoshoot out near Green River. We shot some big stunts up high and, as the sun dipped down, James Doerfling surfed the ridge back down to the RV. It was a spontaneous and unplanned — I just tracked him on his way down.
Looking at the image on-camera, it looked like I simply captured a sweet silhouette. But on full-screen inspection I saw that the ‘silhouette’ was actually his shadow on the dust kicked up by the rider ahead. If you look closely, you can see the actual rider in the background somewhere. Magical mysterious moments from the desert.

In 2018, Cécile Ravanel had won every single race of the Enduro World Series, but before this final stage of the last race she was trailing by 10 seconds. The dominant French woman rose to the challenge, upping the pace and stomping the win in Finale. A perfect eight.

When most people had already left the pits, we stayed around and had a beer with the riders. Then we just saw those two chatting in the sunset.

In 2002, Steve Peat finally won the World Cup Downhill series. Fast forward four weeks and Mike Rose and Peat were in Las Vagas searching for a Dirt Magazine cover.

Love Dirt, and Dirt Love. It’s a command, statement, confession and appreciation for one of the main ingredients for mountain biking. A permanent reminder to all.

Gwin was incredibly precise in his riding — he even grazed the wall with his shoulder. That’s what World Cup racing in a traditional Croatian village combined with the riding of Aaron Gwin looks like.

Riding the epic Cliffs of Moher is no feat for mere mortals. A small rocky ledge, with a rock wall to one side and an empty void to the other, in places there was less than 8 inches to ride.
