Category Finalist 2007: energy

After a long, overcast training day during the 26 Trix in Leogang, Austria, most of the riders had gone back to the hotel. As the sun set, the clouds cleared and created a stunning last light that mixed perfectly with the surrounding snow covered mountain range. Jamie Goldman, one of the remaining riders, stayed to launch some huge tricks. My plan was to incorporate the spectators, Jamie, and the high peaks all into the shot. Thanks, Jamie! And thanks to Tarek Rasouli for putting this awesome event together.
