Looks like Mauricio Abreu, who is a Liquid Force team rider.

Would be a poor fit. Dontcha think?
I like the shot despite the dangle. Makes for a pretty chill avatar.

Not a lot of people taking pictures of lil ol me. When the cameras are out they shoot mostly dangles. Give that a few more years to mature.

My only decent shots are hella old and I've used em already.

example... three years old at least.

Not many others worthy of using. I'm a joe, not a pro and never hide the fact I still crack air, always will, I'm just over it as the end game of kiting. My point is consistently that big air aint no big thing. I'm not allergic to it! Watch any video of the gorge on a crowded day and its like watching popcorn. Boring in about 30 sec.

I'm seldom impressed with my own riding! I've lost a good 5-10 feet on my big airs these days and am no longer the guy with the view at our local spot. Still I think my riding is about a thousand times more interesting to watch than it was mowing the lawn like I did when big air was my focus.

P.S. I kinda like my other avatar!
