Poacher Turned Gamekeeper: Singletrackworld Privateer 161 Photoshoot

Poacher Turned Gamekeeper: Singletrackworld Privateer 161 Photoshoot

From journo to marketer, I join Ross Demain to shoot the Privateer 161—same hills, new role, still loving the ride.

I’m sure you’ve heard the expression ‘poacher turned gamekeeper’, if not, then the Collins online dictionary has the following definition:

"Someone whose occupation or behaviour is the opposite of what it previously was, such as a burglar who now advises on home security."

Interesting example, but I much prefer:

"Someone whose occupation or behaviour is the opposite of what it previously was, such as a journalist who now works in marketing."

Which brings me on to today where Andi Sykes (that’s me), previously of Singletrackworld.com, is out on a lovely hillside with Ross Demain (still of Singletrackworld.com) to shoot photos of an upcoming review.

YES, its a review of the Privateer 161, the brand which I run marketing for, but to be honest I would happily hang about all day on the side of a hill even if we were shooting a review on a Raleigh Activator.

Anywho, here are some pics of Ross doing his thang!
