Chad Keever, who recently supplied us with Halo Benders photos and video, was kind enough to send a follow-up.  Chad attended “Push It To The Limit 2007″ in Kennewick Washington and was gracious enough to send us the photos and video.

Thanks again, Chad.  I would also like to thank the flood of new contributors who recently joined our community photo gallery.  It has grown to feature over 300 photos in less than four days, keep those contributions coming!
