I hung out with some friends on the weekend and rode (well I didn’t ride to much,) during the annual Toronto ICC BMX Street Jam.

BMX was what initially drew me into photography. I have been riding since grade school and my friends on their bikes were the first subjects in my photography. I bugged my mom until she would teach me how to use her cool SLR camera then begged some more to let me take it in my backpack as we rode around the city and through fields.

I haven’t been riding very much since I moved to Toronto, an injury last summer and a busy life has seen my BMX collecting dust. Adversely I have not really shot bmx photos in the last year or two. This weekend was a great, pedaling around and enjoy the atmosphere that I grew up in.
