Photographer Tommy Blanco tagged along with Gabe Brooks, Jimmy LeVan, Kevin Porter, Pat Wang, Nick Trrant and Andrew Jackson while they were filming for an episode of Built To Shred. Check out a bunch of really good photos he shot from the day over on ESPN.
Jackson Ratima’s Lost and Found
“I shoot and film a lot of video that sometimes falls through the cracks, including footage from Cardinal Bikes pro Jackson Ratima. Recently, I found a folder on my hard drive of a trip I took to San Francisco to meet up with Jackson, and with the addition of some more recent clips from the Los Angeles area, was able to piece together the above Lost and Found edit.” – Tommy Blanco / ESPN
