Digital Celluloid...PDX Style
Our brethren in Portland have some incredible riders...and artists amongst their ranks. To capture it all, week by week, starting with the now infamous dirt crit Kermesse's, this gang of photographers will document and provide imagery for us all to see. Imagery that is based all in "the details" of our sport.
The spectacle of cross is not all about the racers and prototypical pictures of them mashing gears...it's about the details. It's about the moment a racer grabs her down tube to port. It's about the tire tracks impressed in peanut butter mud. It's about psychotic fans with a beer spilling in one hand as the other cranks out the sweet sound of a cow bell. It's about mud in your teeth...
Book mark this site! It'll likely give you motivation throughout the season to remind you why you do what you do on 'any given Sunday'.

It's already bookmarked! Keep the motivation coming. I have a feeling I'm gonna need it!

I don't know if you noticed a certain someone tearing it up for RM on the results page, but he'll be out there again next weekend ripping up the Bs. I can't wait to compare the Portlanders to the Boulderites.

Ay yes, Ryan Hughes. Boulderite....I have no idea what he was doing in a C race in PDX! I'll have me a talkin' to him. I think I got him obsessed with 'cross but homie should be rockin B's! He's like a Tonkin: Diesel to the core.
