Featured Photo: Jeff Purdy

Our ‘Featured Photo’ this week is a double dose of Jeff Purdy getting rad at the O’Hara Trails in Delaware County, PA. The first photo showcases Jeff properly dipping a Toboggan over a set and the second is a classic (and personal favorite) One Handed Tabletop. Both photos were shot by Brendan Mulrooney during a session at the trails last week.

If you haven’t been paying attention, Jeff was recently picked up by both GT Bikes and The Daily Grind and is currently heavily involved in filming for Stink Pit 5 and the L.O.W. BMX video. Brendan Mulrooney has also just started up an Instagram account for his photography which you can follow by clicking here.
