Photo Shoot

Well, it was September 11th, Sunday morning and after a 9/11 service Chuck and I went to see if a ledge that we waxed was slippery. The ledge was, but what was so amazing is that it was on a wharf and the tide was out. There was a 6 or 7 foot drop to flat cement. We both said, “We are doing this today.” That afternoon, Chuck, Stratty and I went to the wharf, it was scary but fun. Chuck and I both broke our boards only Chuck broke his board, but did the drop again and  landed it with the broken board. I broke two boards at the wharf and never landed that drop. I now know why pros get sponsored.

The next Sunday, a friend came to our house for lunch and brought his camera to have a photo shoot and try to make a skate video. Well, it’s either that I’m fat, or the boards I buy are just junk. Yes, I broke another one, a week later and I’m boardless again. 
    After the video taping  we moved on to the photo shoot.  It started out just taking  pictures of us skate, but that got old and the pictures were terrible. That’s when the wild creative stuff happened!
I don’t know what we were doing here.



 The skaters:
 Got to cool down somehow.

 ...and we'll get together and do it all again.


PS...here are some videos of  me saying goodbye to all of my hard earned money:
