imageDavid killing it the second year in a row (shown on the left shooting video)!! It’s always impressive to see who makes it out to this rad BMX Jam in the small town of Hartselle, AL. David pulls together folks near and far. Luckily I’m only about 30 minutes away so it’s a no brainer to pop in and do my best to photo document the event. Plus… my bud Chris Rost was out nailing it. Never a bad time shooting this dude.imageimageDavid Cortez getting up.imageChris Rost. Grind 360 out. Never quite stuck it but got damn close. The whole event was cheering him on.imageAs the day went on and my conveniently place Poler koozie at my side… the beers kept flowing as the Jam rolled on. But lets be honest… who doesn’t get that extra creative spark after a few adult beverages? You tend to be a bit more explorative and willing to get that shot you may overlook otherwise. It’s really a fine line between “creative drinking” vs. “now I’m drunk”.imageimageThis dude! Named “The Brit”, started pushing flares on the quarter and eating it pretty good. He got so close, but after a couple hard slams he gave them up for the day.

I hope you dig. If you’re in the area you should come out and support this next year. You can follow along on David Cortez’s social media goodness via Twitter and Instagram. I hope you will. Cheers!
