Saw a photo on Transworld Snowboardings website that Andy Wright took. I happened to be in the photo shooting a photo as well. I went back and looked for the photo I took and voila, you get see both views. It is interesting to see how two different people attack the same trick. Andy is shooting into the sun, standing on the outside edge of the jump. That is actually where I wanted to stand but that caused you to look straight into the sun, which is clearly visible behind a cloud in Andy’s photo. I opted to shoot with the sun behind me but to do that I had to stand outside the jump and walk in when the riders were coming down. You can see in both photos that the rider, Tyler Flanagan, is looking towards the camera. Obviously Andy and I both were looking for the moment that Tyler’s face was towards the camera and Tyler was grabbing. In Andy’s photo Tyler is pretty much at his best point, style wise. In my photo it is a little too early, by the time he reached his best point he was facing the other way so for me, it was not a keeper, for Andy it was. Andy is great photographer either way.

Here is Andy Wrights photo with me in the middle screwing it up

Here is my shot, Andy is the guy kneeling down
