KRIS VILE

Ross McGouran and Kris Vile, crossing the Cook Strait, Feb 2008.

I just did a little spring cleaning and realised that many of the following images may not have ever seen the light of day, at least in this neck of the woods. So here’s a little blow-out of Kris Vile photos and a few sequences (Ross was injured the whole trip, so there’s no photos of him). These images were shot in the space of one week in Feb, 2008 in the South Island of little ol’ NZ. Many thanks to Red Bull for making the road trip possible. All photos by yours truely.
