You can still write up a TR for us to enjoy thought!! and its good to do to look back on the trip.
hmmm….
i always keep a diary of sorts. might just do that.
well, if you want to get technical, the photo contest is SoHe only too. Also, it’s Holmes, not homes.
However, putting up lots of content like photos and cool TR’s about places we can only dream about going to will get you lots of bonus points for the member of the week contest.

Sick shots mate! Welcome to Boardworld.
I reckon the top shot would b better if the rider was a bit more above the horizon line. Maybe If u got a bit lower.
Second one is rad
. . . it’s Holmes, not homes.
Both are widely used, and either is acceptable, but as it’s a derivative of ‘homeboy’, ‘homie’, ‘homeslice’ etc. - ‘homes’ is more of an accurate abbreviation (unless the bloke you’re referring to has the physical attributes of a pornstar).
Trev Ponting Shredding pow at Mt Hutt NZ late june this year 24/06/2012. Epic start to the season.
Getting the ball rolling for this seasons photo comp.
oh man, I know I shouldn’t comment but dude you could have won the contest with that shot.
1. get your horizon straight, you’re making it look less steep than it is!
2. get those two bars out of your shot. it would look better as a pure backcountry shot. Don’t make it look like you’re standing by a lift pole.
3. take a couple of steps closer to get rid of those other tracks in the shot.
This, plus:
4. Effective cropping is a valuable asset.
5. That fugly watermark is NOT.

I totally agree with Gamblor on this. It’s a cracker shot in an amazing location, only let down by some easily fixed adjustments before snapping. You could PS it to remove the faults but it’s far easier to compose correctly on-site.
Still though, an awesome 1st entry. I would love to see an image from the same location after a fresh snow fall and with a sunrise/sunset glow…..Bang! There’s your cover shot.

Hey Jeremy, sick shot buddy. Well timed with the rider grabbing and boning out the back leg.
Maybe try getting back to this location after some fresh, that way there will be none of the ugly rubble and footprints everywhere. Get yourself low down to the ground too, that’ll give the rider some nice clear sky to sail through.
Great shots, Jeremy. Welcome to Boardworld.
