Ahhh... The Teva Mountain Games, does life get any better? Tons of opportunities for incredible photos are open for any photographer at the Teva Games! I've been fortunate enough to live in Vail, CO the last few years and capture the games every year. The games include freestyle kayak, mountain bike, bike slopestyle (huge jumps!) stand-up river surfing, steep creek kayak with waterfalls, dock dogs (dogs jumping off of a platform and seeing how far they can leap into a pool), and the infamous "mud run".


Here's a shot I captured with a bit of luck, patience, and scouting. When I took this shot, there were literally about 10 photographers all shooting from the same location. They all are getting similar images! I cut some ropes and fences when no one was looking to get this angle. (DISCLAIMER: I didn't just say that....)
