Back in the early days of motocross, Mel Stoutsenberger could be seen on the side of the track with his camera in hand, dodging roost and snapping some rad photos. He was also a regular on the blossuming BMX scene, documenting the early years of a sport that is now almost manditory for most kids growing up. Today, Mel still shoots and is a regular at the annual Red Bull Day In The Dirt. For this week's throwback post, we dug into the Fasthouse Archives to find some amazing shots that Mel has snapped over the years. He's also featured on our Locals page.
