First Impressions

Shooting photos is a good way to meet lots of really good skaters. A lot of these dudes I end up being friends with, and we go shoot photos again. But there's some people who I never see again, and I'm stuck with a one off photo with a short story about a person I don't really know.

Justin, frontside slash














Taylor, Nollie heel. He had a bitch once.













Luke, Halfcab

a few tricks of a friend i met while i was in florida. hes from Ohio.

Wizardology

I'm not a very good writer so I'm going to keep this entry short. Some stills of Potter from the past two years, and one of Randy, too.

Backside air


















Inward Heel


















Layback Rollout (or something? Potter is too abstract to always know what trick he's doing.)












Randy, 360 flip hippie jump

Wes St. Onge ain't nuthin' ta fuck wit.

The second wave of my rash of old photos (and in the process, putting off working on my thesis), I bring you some old shots of the one and only Wes St. Onge.

Smith up


















Step up back tail.












Kickflip. Check out that griptape art. Wes kills it.

Don't Mess

I've been sitting on so many photos for so many reasons. Not letting tricks leak, submitted to magazines, as of yet-unlanded tricks and just plain laziness. It's a wonder you lot get to see any at all. It's probably fair to let the better ones be seen, especially with the coming spring inspiring anxiousness and inpatience.

I'm going to begin by posting a couple of year old stills from our trip last January to Houston, which mostly haven't been seen because they submitted for print but never ended up making the cut.

Joel Watamaniuk, gap to noseblunt













Joel again, switch tail over a long gap


















Chris Marleau, feebling a famous rail.












Watamaniuk Twins, back 180 nosegrind and switch crook on a high bust ledge.


















The photo in the link was taken by some fat creepy dude without a clue. It was pretty funny at the time.

Isaac Watamaniuk, frontside noseslide.












On a final note, who checked this blog from Paris? That's awesome.
