Jack Rice
Born and raised 1st half of life in Brooklyn, NY then moved upstate to Peekskill for my formative schooling years and now reside in beautiful Boothbay Harbor, Maine.
After getting a bike back in 2017 and riding for a year or two a buddy and myself decided to head to Windrock, TN to see our favorite elite riders race the clock, and that where I met the man who runs VitalMTB (Shawn Spomer) and who I would proceed to bug for the next six months to let me do something for the site. He finally caved and told me to find a camera and get to Killington where I would be using a DSLR camera for the first time ever. After 2 days on YouTube learning the basics I went to the race, did my job, was published, and was completely hooked after that.
For the past few years I have been paying my dues shooting races all up and down the east coast for VitalMTB, Pro Teams, Brands, and everyone in between, even covering a World Cup double-header by myself. My goal and dream since this journey began is to be a World Cup photographer and every season that goes by feels like I get closer and closer to that goal.
