Sven Martin – 24k followers

Originally from South Africa, Sven and his wife Anka travel the EWS circuit and much more. She races, and he has moved to photography, and is now one of the most recognized photographers in mountain biking. The photos on his Instagram are simply spectacular.

Extremely rare sighting of a @maddogboris without a beer camera or bad tattoo. Contrary to popular belief he can ride a bike as long as it's on left turns. Happy Birthday #zeecrazygerman Skippers connector | Rude Rock, New Zealand | @fstopgear

Dave Trumpore – 8k followers

Dave is from Boulder, Colorado but spends much of his time traveling internationally following the highlights of the sport. That includes lots of sick downhill and freeride action!

A classic if not cliche shot from a classic location with @brandon.turman as he does some proper product testing in the slickest of conditions on In Deep // Whistler BC, Aug 2014

Sterling Lawrence – 7k followers

Sterling has been capturing some of the most iconic images in mountain biking for over a decade now, here is one of those. Check out his profile for more examples of his work!

Nugs deserve print media. For me, this one has dotted more ink to paper than any other photo I have taken. So, it's welcome to venture into digital life and be my 5th/5 selection into the B&W Challenge. I owe all the success to this image to the ever adventurous and creative Matt Hunter and his wife Nikki. They helped bring this image to life. British Columbia not only is loaded with talented people, but it also his home to an unlimited pallete of terrain to play in and photograph. When it comes to exposing British Columbia and other talented athletes, Jeremy Koreski has done an incredible job as a surf photographer. His work is globally recognized in the surf community and he makes the gnarly west coast look rad. Let's see some of your B&W nugs @jeremykoreski you've been nominated to the B&W Challenge. @mattyhunter

Matt Wragg – 3.2k followers

Matt has worked with a range of publishers internationally, you will probably recognize his work from the Enduro World Series as he is one of the official photographers. In addition to stunning action photos, he features some of the lifestyle content we often don’t see.

On the riding front, yesterdays trip to #machen was less than successful – 6 hours' drive to climb up a hill, descend for 2 minutes and then suffer a day-ending mechanical… Still always good for my bi-annual chance to see my mates.

Lee Trumpore – 2.4k followers

Lee is currently based in Taiwan, where there are more mountains than you would probably expect. He’s got plenty of great photos of the trails and life there, along with action from around the globe!

I've shot this spot a lot, too much really, but this last one from a few months back is probably my favorite. Martin Astley dropping into rainy #Taipei after 12k descending through the jungle for @dirtmagazine 155.
