The Hope WMN Enduro at Gisburn Forest is a real feel-good event whatever the weather. In the event village this year I met Martha, a 9 year old mountain bike and BMX racer. I’d been hoping to get a fun reflection shot on the side of the pizza truck, having noticed it looked like a hall of mirrors, so when I asked Martha if she could ride past it for me and she pulled a wheelie I was pretty impressed. Around 12 wheelies later, we got a shot we were both happy with. Thanks Martha!
