Earlier last year Will, the owner of BagRiders, asked me to do a shoot of his shop for StanceWorks. Finally in November we set a date and I made my way an hour north to Burlington Vermont to his shop. Ive known Will for a little while now, I shot his red TDI Jetta before. All in all they are a great group of guys, very laid back and helpful. While some may not agree on air ride, I think its a very useful suspension set up. Yes static is more ballsy, but with the condition of the roads around here there is nothing like air ride. I realize StanceWorks is probably the biggest “Stance blog” out there, but I prefer to stick with Stance:Nation for my own reasons. See the feature here, on [StanceWorks.com](http://StanceWorks.com): [http://www.stanceworks.com/2012/01/bag-riders/](http://www.stanceworks.com/2012/01/bag-riders/) **I have 50 images total from this shoot, many that StanceWorks didnt use; see them all here:** [http://www.flickr.com/photos/killerblackbird/sets/72157629028545525/with/6761248451/](http://www.flickr.com/photos/killerblackbird/sets/72157629028545525/with/6761248451/) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7147/6761248451_ea072c44d0_b.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7147/6761248451_ea072c44d0_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7019/6761246097_e8d3d29d71_b.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7019/6761246097_e8d3d29d71_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7031/6761241853_78f8245b10_b.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7031/6761241853_78f8245b10_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7156/6761233641_eac6f4e8f0_b.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7156/6761233641_eac6f4e8f0_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7005/6761226045_0183a05f32_b.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7005/6761226045_0183a05f32_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7149/6761224819_6e2b8eaa7f_b.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7149/6761224819_6e2b8eaa7f_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7170/6761214713_70b04592f4_b.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7170/6761214713_70b04592f4_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7142/6761231795_7635c86618_b.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7142/6761231795_7635c86618_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7013/6761239237_1c3f033a12_b.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7013/6761239237_1c3f033a12_b.jpg) ---
