Anton Tang photography

You might remember that in 2010 Anton Tang, Ares Pro rider from Singapore, made his way out to Brisbane for a few days to hang out and ride.

While he was here, we hit up a bunch of spots around South East Queensland and also got a nice interview done with him – peep it here.

As much as he is an awesome rider with a fast and smooth style, he’s also an accomplished photographer. The Ground Force contest that went down in Singapore a few weeks ago was a great opportunity for him to take a bunch of quality snaps.

Anton has his own website – you can check it out at www.antontang.com
