One of the things that I like most about being a photographer is the fact that I get to build some solid friendships with some goddamn talented riders. Over the years I have met the majority of the best riders in the world and have been lucky enough to shoot with a good amount of them. I have been shooting and chillin’ with Kevin Kiraly for years now and it’s rad to have that feeling of trust when it comes to shooting with certain riders. It’s not easy for a rider to just send themselves without trusting the person behind the lens and building that trust takes time for sure. Once it’s there though it makes things so much easier. I am there to do my job, and the rider is there to do their job and it just works. Anyways, on the way up to shoot this past Dew Tour in San Francisco I stopped and met up with Kevin to work on this week’s column. He recently built up a brand new bike, got on the DC flow team and has been stacking clips for a few video projects so we covered all of that and more right here for TTL #36. Check out the Q&A after the jump then hit the Photogallery to check out a closer look at his bike!
