This just came up in my Facebook feed coutesy of a mate’s online magazine. It’s a slideshow of photos from a photo competition where riders and photographers collaborate over a summer.

I can’t recall seeing this bloke’s photos before but it has to be one of the most incredible sets I’ve ever seen. Some surprising subjects in there too. Well worth a few minutes of your time. Embedding disabled but it deserves to be watched as big as possible in HD.

Happens every year over at Whistler. Shown big screen on one of the nights. Would be a dream to get over there and watch it but heyho, i’ll have to watch them all online

Whistler Deep Summer

The last Deep Summer comp I saw (in Dirt Mag) had riders wearing chicken costumes and such, and was quite fun, but didn’t have me wrestling the urge to run out of the office and jump on a plane to Canada in quite the same way…

There was a guy in a gorilla suit chasing his mate who had a banana gaffa taped to his back…..either pinkbike video or vitalmtb viedo cant think which one.

Like.

Stunning photography !

I’ve ridden with the guy with one arm, at Wharncliffe about 8 years ago i think ? maybe longer

I always get the urge to jump on a plane when i see inspirational shots like that, unfortunately i will have to keep road tripping the UK !

The silly one from this year’s competition.

Most impressive is that they only get 3 days to shoot and edit!
