BMW G310R World Launch

Los Angeles played host to the world launch of BMW’s new G310R. I had to take a few risks to get the necessary shots, but Santa showed up later so it all worked out.

Australia

Australia ranks among the 10 least populated locations on the planet… leaving much of the country left open as an adventure rider’s paradise.

Between a serious traffic-related injury and life in general, this trip happened to be the first time I'd paddled out in well over three years! Not the most ideal situation to be filmed in, but was an amazing environment to suddenly jump back into surfing. Another wave from that same session:
