“Welcome to Sports Marketing.” I just felt like saying that because Matty Swanson took us all to The Amazon for the filming of Push Process, and he really likes to say that phrase. Another one of his quotes from the trip was, “It’s not about what you did yesterday, but rather what were doing tomorrow.”

This was truly one of the most amazing trips I’ve been on. We had a day of fun planned for every day that we were there. This shot of Brazilian local, Deko, was taken on one of the last days on the Negro after we had traveled 12 hours deep within its belly. We did not see another human for 3 days straight. Just beautiful stretches of water and a very diverse eco-system. There was no wind, no boats and just miles of water like you see in this shot. The kip rips too. I’ve always been a fan of shooting behind the rider. You don’t know where you’re going unless you know where you’ve been. I see where Deko has been.
