So it all started at 5 a.m. on friday morning.  We drug ourselves out of bed, and grabbed some coffee at Starbucks with our buddy Brandon.  Then we headed up the mountians to beat the sun rise.  We were looking for good places to film a sunrise shot with Don Hampton from DH PRODUCTIONS.  It was soo AWESOME to be up in the mountains soo early, You can just feel God!  It was an amazing sunrise, and the air was hard to breathe in it was soo cold.  Mick found a few really good places to film, and so we headed home for some breakfest at our favorite restaurant called The Peak Grill. It’s mainly our favorite place because the most awesome waitress works there named Micky!  She’s super cool.  She owns a Gary Fisher, and a Cannondale.  We thought that was pretty funny.

  Don Hampton got in on Sunday, and at 5 a.m. on Monday morning we headed up to the mountains to get our early morning wake up call.  We got to the first spot, and I crawled my way to the top to check it out.  Dang!  It was soo steep I had to hang on to roots to get down.  I almost wish I wouldn’t have looked at it.  I got a little nervous for Mick.  But we got all set up. Don with his video camera, and I was shooting stills. Mick gave us a yell to warn us he was ready, and I said prayer for him, and down he came. He cleaned the line just perfect. I was thinking how crazy of a way to wake up this is, but also how cool it is. I got some really good photos with that light!  You might see them in some magazines I hope.  He hit that spot up a few more times, then we were off to the next one.

  This one really scared me alot!  It was too much for me, but I still got to shoot some more photos.  I was shaking soo bad as I watched my husband lower his bike into the role in.  It was soo steep and loose, that he could not start from the very top. So he had to hang his bike from some roots, and slide into the place where he would role in.  It’s scary when the role in is drop in.  There was no room for mistakes.

  But once again, he pulled it off perfectly.  He was shaking pretty bad when he got to the bottom too!   He did it a few more times though. 

  We did a lot more shooting that day, and it was all successful.  But now there are reports of a blizzard moving in, so we can’t go hit any dirt jumps today.  That was a bummer, but I’ll just train harder for next time.  So we are going to chill out today, and put some new bikes together, and get ready for the storm to pass. 

  I will have some photos of today posted hopefully soon, so keep checking back!  Thanks for all your support, and I really hope you are all well!  It’s fun as we get close to Thanksgiving and Christmas.  I love this time of year.  The weather makes it kind of hard to ride, but our indoor skatepark just opened back up again!  So we will be there a lot!

  We will be traveling with a group called MXers 4 JESUS most of November.  So I will keep you posted on that!  Looking forward to next time!  Have an Awesome Day!!!
