Last week, Ryan Howard and Kyle Jameson happened to be home in Aptos along with Brandon Semenuk and Andreu Lacondeguy. I was lucky enough to tag along and shoot some photos of them at the Cruz Fest jumps as ramp up their training for Red Bull Rampage. Take a visual stroll through two days of big bike madness and progression with some of the world’s best.
