Road Trip
Well, I finally did it - I bought a GoPro! Because of my hang gliding videos many people assume I've always had one, but not until this week! So far I'm enjoying it. It's definitely convenient and compact. I bought the extra LCD screen for the back too and I'm glad I...

Photos | The Sky Gods Smiled On Me Today
Here are some of the images I took from my two hour flight today at Mount Woodside. It was a great little flight. Mainly ridge soaring. The highlights were playing in the clouds, watching a family of eagles fly around, flying around with them, seeing two eagles grab...

With the year coming to an end I decided to make a clean break from some footage, so before archiving it into oblivion, I wanted to make a video out of the footage I have yet to use. The first video is from this year's Flytec race in Florida, and...
Blog | Day After LASIK
When I woke up today I felt like a super hero. Like Peter Parker waking up from getting the spider bite from the first Spiderman movie. I laughed! I could see and I didn't have to do anything for it. I didn't have to stumble around for my glasses,...
Blog | Moving to Vancouver
What is a blog if you don't share part of your personal life on it? Primarily, this site has been about showing the work I do, not necessarily talking about personal stuff. Now, nearing the one year anniversary of having lucasridley.com I thought I'd venture into the...
Photography | Keeneland Racing
This last Saturday I visited the infamous Keeneland race track and it lived up to it's reputation. It was like being implanted into a movie scene. Thanks to a friend, I was in the clubhouse and so every guy wearing a sport jacket added to the stately manner...
