WORDS & PHOTOS Marcus Bandy
The event feature in our latest Wheelbase Print Edition: Issue Two, released last month on October 1st, covers the second-annual Pikes Peak Downhill, 2014 race held back on September 5, 6, 7th in Colorado. Our Pikes Peak Downhill printed feature includes 8-pages of the best photos we could capture (me & Isaac Cogdill), with all words written by the cryptozoological phenom, Mr. Bigfoot himself. Ha ha! Anyway, we are extremely proud of the way the Pikes article turned out and the new mag as a whole, so please do swoop a copy while they last. It’s hella appreciated. Amen.
That being said, I definitely came back to HQ with way too many photos from this year’s Pikes Peak Downhill, and these accompanying images are the ones I shot that did not make it into our print magazine. I just couldn’t bare letting them sit unseen on the Wheelbase hard drives; so please peruse, enjoy at your leisure, and make sure to get to Pikes Peak Downhill next year. Shredlove!

A big thanks to Connor Welles, Ali Johnson, all the event sponsors, Bigfoot, and of course each and every one of the rad skaters I met and hung out with during my stay in Colorado and at Pikes Peak. Hat tip!
