I had an unbelievable time shooting these two crazy kids! As I was going through their shots, I had a difficult time even choosing a few for the blog. Every shot was more spectacular than the next! Between Vanessa's captivating smile, and Carlos' tricks, it was just impossible to choose.  Vanessa and Carlos have a passion not only for each other but for riding as well. They brought along their tight-knit group, "The Quadbangers." These guys were up for anything! I want to thank my good buddy and right hand man, Rich for capturing many amazing moments. Also, a big thanks to my wifey.  Nikon D3's, don't leave home with out them...goodtimes
