JADEN & BRYAN
Words & Images by Dominique Powers
Jaden is at the Sea Otter Classic representing the Live in Peace Bike Shop of Palo Alto, and his friend Bryan is along to cheer and support. Jaden forgot his bike shoes, so while he’s waiting for a friend to bring them to Monterey, Bryan has swapped his fixie pedals to Jaden’s road bike for his first race of the weekend.
This story is one part of a series by Dominique Powers called Community. Dominique is a renowned photographer in the cycling industry who has a special ability to capture personalities in her stunning portraits. She is based in Los Angeles and connects to her community through the bike. We invited Dominque to introduce us to interesting people she meets during her rides in Los Angeles and travels to gravel events. Community captures people who are living the same ethos as Flashpoint MVMNT: staying positive and having fun while making the bike community more welcoming and inclusive to everybody. We look forward to meeting the people she introduces us to through Community.
