A couple of biking pics from Moab

That's quite a drop in the first one!

Makes one wonder if this first one was a mistake or not (referring to the rider, not the photographer)

That first pic is not a drop...you ride down it...
I suppose you could drop it, but it doesn't look like there is a real landing...they would be near Virgin, Utah if they wanted to hit huge drops...not in Moab...

nice pics...and riding...

Anthony-
I rode Moab last weekend. Is that first photo of that slot drop-in up on Kokopelli? That thing is gnarly! I have a vague memory of riding it when Kokopelli was brand new, maybe 6 years ago. But I'm thinking that's a false memory after seeing it now. I wouldn't even think of riding it.

The photos are pretty good. The angle on the first one is really weird. It makes the move look really gnarly. On the other hand, I can't quite figure out what I'm looking at. It would be cool to see two angles just to help the viewer understand.

The second photo is pretty dark. There's no white in it at all and I can't see the rider's face. It makes me wonder if your monitor is calibrated. That photo has a nice composition and your timing is good. But it's really hurt by the dark exposure.

Anthony Sloan passed away yesterday.

We are still reeling from the news and trying to cope with loss
of one of the stars of this world.

News is sparse right now, we will try to keep everyone here at MTBR updated as we learn more but please know that Anthony is riding one of his many bikes on singletrack that ends only where the sun sets, that the light for his photos is perfect and that his journeys are taking him to every corner of our world.

Godspeed Anthony, you are missed with all of our hearts.

From all of the Yeti crew here in Golden and the Yeti Tribe worldwide.

This is terrible news, Hollis. I've always been totally blown away by Anthony's photos and wonderfully poetic mtbr posts. I was psyched he was starting to post here. This is really, really sad in so many ways.

I just saw that post on mtbr, and was going to post a link here too. Anthony and his beautiful words and photography will surely be missed.

I'm in shock. I love his photography on MTBR and here! It just friggin' tragic.

I just saw that post on MTBR as well, and I'm still a little in shock. Talk about completely unexpected. Enjoy the never ending photographic singletrack.
