The best of action sports photography 2016

By Jake Rosengarten / Roar Guru

For the third year running, Red Bull Illume has scoured the globe for the best action sports photography has to offer; handpicking the best from over 34,000 submissions.

There are some truly remarkable shots, and we thought we’d share the best with you.

Here for your viewing pleasure, are six of our favourites from across the collection!

(Red Bull Illume/James Colbeck)

Red Bull Illume’s mission is to shine the spotlight on the often unsung heroes behind the camera. These photos are joined by 270 others in the Red Bull Illume coffee table book, of which only 5000 copies were created.
