Nostalgia

nos·tal·gia [no-stal-juh, -jee-uh, nuh-]
1. a wistful desire to return in thought or in fact to a former time in one's life; a sentimental yearning for the happiness of a former place or time: eg. a nostalgia for the summer days at the local skatepark.

Fat Jam pictures

Jup. The fat jam. Yeah, the one from about 3 month ago. I know. Shut up.

Anyway, better late than never I always say.














































I've got a lot more pictures of last summer, lying around. I'll be posting them during this winter, so we all got something nice to look back on, and look forward to.

fun&pain @ Abflughalle

again, these pictures are quite old... I think this was the second time I used my external flash indoors, and I didn't have it quite dialed yet.
anyway, these were taken in July, but I don't want to keep them from you.














too bad the day had to end in a crash. Sam went down hard, had to get stitches in his chin, and hurt his knee pretty bad.

2007 Compilation Vid

Over the past year, I collected some footage here and there, and since I had nothing better to do yesterday, I've decided to mix it all into a short video. the riding isn't that awesome, but we had fun, and I hope it shows in the video.
Ow, and as usual, I've saved the best for last.



Let me know what you think!

Project Ivo: Week 4&5

jup, I've been lazy last week, so to make up for it I made a double picture as this weeks (and last weeks) desktopbackground.

photo's where shot at our victory hockeyclub demo last year.

Project Ivo: Week 3

Here's this weeks wallpaper.

this one is shot in april 2006, on "de bosjumps" in hoboken.

Ivo - X-up.

Red Cross: Vert Pictures

People who visit my Flickr page often have probably seen these pictures weeks ago already, but I'll post them here now too.

first off: amateurs.

in the true sense of the word. Lots of first timers here. still a pretty good show though.










and next: the pro's.

Peter, one of the people that organized the event, has been riding vert for years. and he's pretty damn good at it too. check out this airtime!




next up is Jimmy. You'll remember him from the dirt pictures. He's an allround ripper, including in the vert.







Jean-Marie. came all the way from switzerland to ride here. great style, awesome helmet.

Project Ivo: Week 2

I know, it's wednesday, and I should have done this on monday, but I had exams on tuesday and such and such, so wednesday it is ;-)

Here's this weeks wallpaper. The picture was shot in july '06, on the DirtE19 trails.

Project Ivo: week 1

A very close friend of mine suffered a terrible accident in Greece, some 81 days ago. He's still in the hospital right now, and still faces long revalidation.

A few months ago, he was at my place, browsing through my photo's looking for nice ones that he could print or put on his pc. Months later I still haven't done anything with those pictures.

So this is the time, I thought. In the next weeks, I'll try to post one picture every week, in wallpaper format, just for you my friend! To keep spirits high.

Here's number one:

Red Cross Dirtjump contest

I've been slacking, the last two months. I still have a lot of photography lying around, but at least I've finally managed to upload the pictures of the Red Cross happening, a dirtjump/vert contest annex festival in Hechtel, Belgium. I'm not gonna talk too much about it, it was just awesome, and if they'll do it all over next year, you better make sure you get there!

On to the pictures. This is just dirt. Vert pictures are coming in the next few days.


This guy didn't even make it till qualification. Twanne went down fridaynight, and had to be brought to the hospital with a fractured skull. No worries, he's healing well.




this is Ben. Ben is one of the nicest kids you'll meet. Kind of quiet, but don't let that fool you ;-)
He's been killing those jumps all weekend, but this is the only halfdecent picture I managed to take. Sorry mate.




Don't know who this is, I think the man who goes by the internetalias of "groen". pretty damn impressive MTB riding.



He was also the only mountainbiker doing (and landing!) a tailwhip that weekend:




Daarek, with a flawless backflip. He was less lucky a week ago, on our demo on Wilrijk Jaarmarkt, where he broke his wrist doing a backflip. Get well soon, dude...




Joris, just like Ben from the Stabroek Crew, another young talent. Sporting some weird hairdo that weekend, luckily his riding isn't as haggard as his hair...






This one is Dimitri, from Holland near the Helmond trails. He was doing some huuge airs over the first double, pretty sure he'd have won the high air contest, if there had been any.




Those were the "amateurs", as in not sponsored riders that is...
On to the pro's:


This is Jimmy, doing some of his usual tailwhips. well... usual... he does them so clean, and on and off everything, that you kind of come to expect it. Great rider, also check the Vert pictures.






talking about frontflips, here's Pim with a sweet one. He was actually the first one to do it. But then again, ever since he learned them he just keeps doing them everywhere he goes. Like on the Fat Jam (pics coming).




don't know the name of this guy, or much about him. Sweet three's though.




Here's one most of you probably know: Hannu. He's been around for a few years already, been featured in quite a few vids, so I'll leave it at that.




Still hanging in there? I know there's a lot of photo's, but we're almost there!


The last two riders are almost inseperable. Both through and through trailsriders, wich you can clearly tell by their style.
The first one is Sven. Mostly know for the huge no foot cans and variations he does.
A true trails addict. Symptoms include, but aren't restricted to having to be dragged off the trails at the end of the day.






And last, but definately not least, the man who eventually placed first in pro dirt: Greg. Great style, a true trails rider, which shows in his tricks.
I'm gonna shut up now, and let you enjoy the last pictures.
