I was digging through my archives and found this gem from Millville 2011. What a day this was.
Moto 2…I remember looking through my camera’s viewfinder as Reed flew through the air for what seemed to be an eternity. I thought his career was over when he hit the ground. But the part that STILL gives me goosebumps to this day is watching him get back on his bike, charge up the hill and hit the next jump like nothing happened. If you listen closely, you can hear me yell, “Yeah!!” as he raced up the hill. For everyone who witnessed it live, you know the feeling I’m talking about. These are the toughest dudes on the planet.
As a side note, big thanks to Wes Williams for hiring me that weekend. Not sure what I’d be doing today without an opportunity like that.

I was at that race. Yeah it was humid. And yeah that wreck was insane to see live. The only thing I can compare it too was watching the Jake Brown XGames fall live.
Yeah that get off spooked him pretty good for a while if I remember right. Hate to think what would of happened had he hit flat ground.
On a side note... miss seeing Poto and Dunge out there. Hard chargers them two.
