"The bike jump photo was one new years eve in san francisco. That group and i were walking to the bar and across the street i noticed this lone bmx guy trying to jump this alley from curb to curb. I ran across the street and i suggested to him to come from the other side, it is a little more going uphill but might give him a better boost. He agreed and then i said i am going to shoot a photo. As soon as the group i was with noticed what was happening they all ran over and hopped in the photo. Of course one of my guys had to lay down in the middle and show off. The bmxer tried it once with no one there, he didnt make it. But then when everyone got in the photo he tried again and made it easily."
