I was surpirsed that I took this


lesly cummer? I forget the name of this skate park so if I am wrong let me know and, like an apologetic German, feign to being upset about my mistake. This photo was published in the illustrious concrete powder free paper put out by a skateboard distribution company. When you think about it the idea really works. Let's put out a would be magazine that suits the average highscooler's weekly budget of zero then make it about snow things and street things. I guess it worked because Chris was very pleased about the following of baggy pantsed high school boys that he accrued after this pic ran.

I was in my "let's be antihero phase" before I realized what I was getting into so we drank Grolsch on the bus there and I skated with a strap back hat on. So right away things were going very wrong and there really wasn't any going back because I had told Chris that I wanted to get a photo of him skating, not being wolverine. I skated he skated he filmed I slammed and the day went down in my memory because this very photo should not have happened because Chris couldn't find a line that gave him enough speed to get out of the bowl so he drank a beer and said "johnny,gotyerfuckingqueercamreadyforsomethingepic!?!". He pushed like a one legged dog making good on a passed out frat boy and rolled in coming back to hip(?) and doing this. I think the film proof is still out there but concrete, like SBC, never sends negs back anyway.
