Little Gus saw that pic and thought Janis had developed a new slalom technique.

He practised for days, eventually trying out his new racing move at Brands Hatch:

I like those one from the last pirate:

Pirates racing.

Vinzzz in action

Me and my ugly-pumping face...

But this one is probably the best pic ever... Home sweet home!

Hey J-Rad,

Your photo needs to have a caption contest.

Yes we have a great photographer on the Pirate Parisian races, Do you know his real name David ? B&W pictures are made with a chamber, you can see the incredible details piqué in the backgrounds.

This from December 3 this year:

This is my favorite personal skate photo of the year.
The first course of the 80 cones race in Zürich.

What makes it so special for me is that my parents are watching in the background ( just under my left arm). It was the first time they watched me skate slalom in 25+ years and the very first time at a slalom race for my mother. They were stoked about the atmosphere at the race site.

I really enjoy the series by Benoît from our PIRATE #2 at the Bois de Boulogne, Paris

Two good friends, me and David:

here's my take for one of the best pics of 2005 dominik took that pic of steve during a session,steve is one of the most stylish guys when it comes to giant and he's fast as hell.
this picture reflects his style,focus,speed the best way possible.

sorry folks...you cant have a "best picture" contest without inviting Fadell to the forum...then anybody else can vote on who's pics are second best

(P.S. Here's Noah Heinle and Chris Barker fighting to the end at the Dixie Cup)

bah, photoshopped and the girls in the background have no big tits-they even wear pants.

Posted: **Wed Dec 28, 2005 9:39 pm**

heh heh....Don.....those girls are, like, 13 years old....

(that's not a Fadell shot...it's mine...i just tossed it in for something that looks a bit different)

Posted: **Wed Dec 28, 2005 9:44 pm**

you should be ashamed to take pictures of 13 year old girls!
and how come you know they are 13 years,did you buy em alcohol?

Class-sick.

Posted: **Wed Dec 28, 2005 11:26 pm**

ps,on the chixill page the credits are cnova,bara,barrett,fadell and flounder.can you guess who is who?cf

Posted: **Wed Dec 28, 2005 11:55 pm**

I know Flounders since he's the one that shoots those shots from the ground up....laying down right next to the cone......scares the SHIT out of ya sometimes!

I'm guessing Fadells is the one with the GF imprinted on it? (heh heh)

That downhill blur shot at the top is a good one too

I believe one of those "13" year olds that you speak so glibly of is actually Marion's daughter. Careful, he IS related to William Wallace.....

Posted: **Thu Dec 29, 2005 3:07 am**

yeah, yeah....it is....and i know she's actually older than 13...and i took special care not to glance her way at the race....I know NCL's a proud papa....just tryin' to keep the wolves at bay

In May 2005 I was laid up after having knee surgery. I was totally bumbed that I missed the Red Clay Cup.. My teamates were there representing. What really made my day was that my bro Joe I wore our colors at the contest in my place. That is why this photo is one of my favorites. You ROCK Joe I. Your Amigo Eddy Texas Outlaws.
