I take a lot of photos and many of them don't end up on Airtight because they're just random photos. A few weeks ago, Fuzzy Steve (he of long manual lines and skatepark fury) suggested I start a photo gallery, so here it is. If you'd like to submit any pics for the gallery, just email them to airtight@bbc.co.uk

Mike Aitken again, using the power of style to look really good whilst on a bike.

Drew Sowerby on the same day at Livi and, as Rooftop said, he was 'more impressive and went higher'.

Lewis Watson

When I showed this Polaroid to Mike, he was at first scared of me because he thought I'd shot it another day and had been stalking him ever since, waiting for just the right time to present my work. I'm not joking.

This photo of John was taken between vert demos at the Telford Backyard Jam just after he related to me the story of his worst crash in which his seat tried to 'enter him'.

Gogo at Unit 23. Gaze at the angle of the bars and insert hilarious 'not quite' caption.

"What's that? Everton have lost again and have gone crap again? Ahh well. Me? I'm just out riding. Nah it's ok, I can talk".

Jonny
click to enlarge
Jonny had heard that doing barspins whilst pouting at girls gives you a better chance of pulling. Only time will tell.

Terrid

"There's a mark on your lens."

"Where?"

"There."

Dario

Toothpick Terrid.This photo was in no way faked.

Terrid getting bored of trying, unsuccessfully, to pull a tailwhip.

Dario and Luca

The twins and their new fitness regime.

Jonny
click to enlarge
Jonny, casual-as-you-like, whilst smithing a bar-height ledge that's been on my to-do list for too long. He did about six grind/stalls on this and each one was pulled perfect first time.

Sub boxes have to be made the most of under the Kingston as within two hours they've usually been burnt by hate-neds.

Colin

Captain Colin with a hefty 180 over the spine at Airdrie.

Colin says: 'Footplant at Caldercruix. Look closely at the foot position - I missed
the ramp and fell flat on my face seconds after the pic was taken. True
kodak moment.

Terrid

This photo was in no way staged. Terrid assures me that he really is a flatland genius.

Rob at the trails
click to enlarge
Finest Rob, chimpin' away on his phone at the not-so-secret trails. This day featured a lengthy debate on how to 'properly' start a fire.

Gibb at Kelvingrove
click to enlarge
If we were to run a competition for the person who does the highest airs over the Kelvingrove hip, Gibb would definately be 'up there'.

Ray at Townhill
click to enlarge
Ray surveys one of Scotland's weirdest wheel-stunt complexes in Townhill (or is it Hilltown?).

Ray at Kingston
click to enlarge
Ray with a wallride under Kingston on the south side. Ray's bike's weight leads me to think that it will probably survive nuclear fall-out (along with cockroaches and Arnie).
