So I got this message from Cam McCaul the other day:
Got home yesterday morning at 5am from the epic road trip. The last leg of the trip was Teva games and it was sweet! On the way to Vail from Jersey, we stopped in PA to ride Woodward for a little bit and work on frontflips. We went straight from the foam pit to Teva games- a nonstop 26 hour drive- and arrived a few days early to help build the course. I filmed a ton of stuff and I'm working on a web vid from the whole trip.
Long story short, I dialed in frontflips at Woodward and sent a huge one in my final run at Teva. I ended up in second place and I was stoked. After 3 years working on the trick, it means more to me to finally land one in contest than to win the comp.

Of course, that prompted me to go take a look at my favorite webzine, Littermag.com. Cam's ridiculously smooth and perfect front flip starts at about 2:40, so go ahead and just fast forward there if that's all you want to see.
But then Gordo the photographer put together a ridiculous photo set. What I found there was phenomenal. Using my handy-dandy screen capture tool, I snagged the one shot that inspired me more than any other:
Wow. Can you even imagine what that feeling is like? I sure can't...
