About Ben Wain

As far as interests go, the links to the various pages on the site may already say a fair bit about where my interests lie. An important factor which has driven me to gain interest in these areas has been my main sport and hobby; Mountain Biking.


I have always enjoyed the sport from an early age and started to move into the media side of the sport a few years ago when I wanted to just get shots of various spots I'd ridden. A lot of the pieces of work on this site come from this point, including photos of biking in the gallery page. Another good example of this would be some of my video edits, of which some are trailers to Mountain Biking DVD's I've worked on in the past. My most recent film project has been on requests of a race series organiser to create a DVD following a local Downhill race series, which proved to be a challenge but a rewarding task.
My first website - jab-ride - brought these interests together as a South East Mountain Biking news website, where photography from local events are displayed alongside general news and short film edits.


Whatever the subject has been, my aim has always been to come up with something artistic and creative, which I feel bares testimony to the art-based subjects I chose early on in school.


Aside from these subjects I enjoy trail building and have assisted in the past with planning and constructing Mountain Bike trails at various bike parks in the South East of England. I also have a small local private project which consists of mainly timber structures (pictured on the right). Other sports I enjoy are Tennis, Football and Swimming (I have also dived once and done a small amount of sailing and plan to do more in the future).
