Your hard work has been an inspiration. All the best for the future.

Gary, enjoy the next chapter in your life. The press room (and stairwells, and doorsteps, and carparks) won't be the same without you.

So who's going to keep Sven under control now?

Gary, thank you so much for all the great photos. I'm so thankful that you won't have to put up with Seven anymore. The guy is crazy. I mean, who really wants to put cheese on french toast? Phuk man.

Man, what a bummer for those of us who LOVE the Vital slideshows. Gary- you've been a source of pure joy, entertainment and inspiration for many of us. Good luck with your future endeavors. We're going to be counting on Sven and Co. to come up with more great content.

Good for you, Gary. Good. For. You.

Thank you for bringing out the beauty of this sometimes brutish sport. You have touched us all.

Gary - wish you all the success and joy of being able to enjoy time with your family. You were the jelly to Svens peanut butter, and allowed us desk jockeys the chance to escape reality and feel like we were at each world cup every week. You will be missed by all and I hope you never shave another day in your life.

thanks gary for bringing the world cup alive for me from distant places like no once else can.

Flipper is an OGNuff Said

Thanks Gary
I've developed a slight addiction for the DH slideshows, and your panning shots will be missed.
See you on the trails more often!

thanks for bringing the WC to those of us sitting at home, stellar work week after week that's definitely impacted my own shooting style! enjoy your new freedom!

You will be missed but your photography will remain permanently imprinted on the top level of my cornea.

Thanks for delivering some of the best slideshows/reports I've ever had the pleasure to witness.
Best of luck (although I know you don't need any luck since you have the skills and determination to succeed) with whatever you take on next.

cheers!

A ton of respect for your work Gary, and a ton of respect for this decision. As a family man who travels a lot for work, I can totally relate. Best of luck, and thanks for the stoke!

Thanks for everything Gary, if the UCI had any common sense they'd be paying you guys for the excellent coverage you've provided over the years. Cheers

Thanks Gary! Wishing u all the best on every path u take...take care

your photos are truly an art form flipper, best of luck on your new journey, and thanks for making my mountain biking experience that much better!

Thanks Gary! Cheers

Thanks Gary for your time and energy to climb, run, fall and all that other crazy activity that you did to get us the great work that was produced for our enjoyment here on VitalMTB and in the MTB community. Enjoy life, good luck in your new adventures and remember that you put thousands of smiles on our faces.

No offense to all the other guys, and not saying this because he is going to move into something else full time, but...Gary is the greatest MTB photographer the sport has ever seen. Cheers on the moving on, excellent choice to spend more time with family, I made the same move (to get off the road) when my daughter was born, never looked back.. Congrats

Gutted...i'll miss your work Gary, you've been a huge inspiration...best of luck wherever the road takes you!
