Update - cat's out of the bag, the forum is live... if you're a dgrinner and a cycling/running/triathlon/ultrarunner... you get the idea... go to:

Fried Quads: http://www.friedquads.com

We're working on a little project, making a banner, for a website. Looking for bicycling photos that scream adventure. We have heaps of the usual pack-racing photos, who's got something with a stunning backdrop, a mind-blowing maneuver...

post 'em here, L or M sizes are sufficient, just for a banner.

(I can't offer anything in return, but for the satisfaction of your image gracing the top of another very cool dgrin sister site...)

    Probably not quite what you're looking for, but I've always kinda liked this one.

    Is the site (sans banner) live yet?

    Kind-of the pack racing theme but maybe something you like - tried to look for something a little more dynamic:

    I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

    Who's the site aimed at? Roadies, MTB? If MTB, then XC, DH, FR or all mountain?

    everyone. that's the whole idea, there's too many super specific sites out there. road, mountain, tri, recumbant. more about the adventure and the people/places, or at least that's the goal.

    Doc,

    When I first heard you were moving down to Brisvegas I pictured you and Gus sitting in a van outside Robbie McEwen's house, waiting for Robbie to come out at which point Gus would threaten him (or at least threaten the quality of his electrical service) until he agreed to have his picture taken with you.

    Those first two shots are sweet - I may use them, thanks!

    Great, now you've put a bug in gus's ear! Next on our list of hijinks, kidnapping professional cyclists! lol3.gif
