Hillsboro, Oregon Mike Tag Benefit Jam

A little while back, FBM Bikes Team Legend Mike Tagliavento (or Mike Tag as we all know him) was diagnosed with cancer. Aside from being all together shitty, we all know that stuff like that is unbelievably expensive to treat. FBM immediately set up a fund for Tag, and riders all over the globe have been coming together to kick in money. Today’s gathering in Hillsboro, Oregon was organized by some locals including Pro rider Chester Blacksmith, in an effort to raise some money through prize raffles and a BBQ. From a turnout perspective, this was one of the larger Northwest jams I’ve been too, which hopefully resulted in some decent help for Tag. If you’d like to help out Mike, here’s a link to the FBM Bikes page where you can do so.

Above is Portland’s favorite former Huffy rider, Josh “Boyd” Cornell, who took some time off of the Party Planet and shredded some lookbacks. You can check out some more photos after the jump (the horizontal photos, including the one above can be blown up by clicking them). High turndown ration warning.

4 out of 6 riding shots are some sort of turn down? Do i need to come out or retirement and show you fuckers some new tricks?

Jamie, there were also a lot of humpty-dance style brakeless nose wheelies, but I’m not shooting those. I know you’ve got a dialed new bike. Drag that sucker out and do front brake tricks!!

What lens are you using?

NIck added this brilliant insight on May 25 11 at 5:18 pm

@nick These were all Nikon fisheye. In this case they were shot with a D300 so it was a 10.5mm 2.8. All were with a handheld quantum q-flash as well.
