A few weeks back, our friend, Nick Steben, made a cross country move from Connecticut on the East coast all the way out to San Diego, California on the West coast just to mix things up a little bit for himself. Anyone who knows Nick, knows that he is always on the move and, in reality, this move probably isn’t that big of a surprise. Now that he’s avoiding the cold weather for a constant supply of 70’s and sunny weather, he has been busy taking advantage of the scene to spend as much time as possible as he can on his bike and shooting photos.
The other week, Ben Snowden through a jam in his backyard ramp paradise for everyone to come out and ride and have a good time. Nick was on hand for the day and ended up snapping a bunch of photos from the day for us to check out. We’ve got a brand new photogallery with 21 photos for you to take a peek at… Hit that link below to take it in!

Through The Lens: Unseen
Typically when I shoot photos these days it’s for a specific purpose. Either for a print project, an ESPN feature, something for my column, something for an ad, catalog or anything else a company might need photos for etc. In some cases though I have shot photos over the years that never end up going anywhere but my hard drive. Typically it’s just that they become leftovers and aren’t needed at the moment. Other reasons include riders changing sponsors. For example, if you shoot a rider that is wearing a pair of Etnies and then they get sponsored by Vans you can’t really do anything with the photo of them wearing the Etnies anymore. It sucks but that’s just how it works. Either way though, that is why I love doing this column because I have complete creative control meaning that I get to finally give some of these photos a home and give them a bit of shine-time.
Ben Snowden’s Backyard BBQ X-Mas Jam
Ben Snowden recently threw a little pre-Christmas BBQ and jam in his backyard. Dustin Grice pulled out his camera to document what went down during the day. Grilling, BMX, girls, sunshine and good times. That looks like a good time to me.
Escaping Los Angeles
Our friend JC Pieri sent through this new film he worked on with Ben Snowden. This isn’t your typical edit, but it does look like Ben Snowden is a bit of a home wrecker, haha.
