If I could take pictures like Whitelight, I would move to California and take pictures at the X games and other pro contests and sell the pics to the magazines. J. Grant Brittain made a career of following the NSA Pro contests in the 1980's and selling the pics to Transworld.
I had seen this blog up on "saved by the torso" but presumed it would be nothing about skateboarding. How wrong I am/was/is.
I wish I could ride a skateboard. I sucked when I tried as a kid but I love watching them in action. And sitting there pretending while I let my thumbs bleed playing Tony Hawk on the playstation.
“I don’t want to see a Frito’s commercial with a skateboarder on it. It’s not in the spirit of skateboarding. We’re not supposed to be in the limelight. We’re supposed to be the scuttlebutt. We’re not supposed to be heroes. We’re supposed to be zeroes. If we look good, we look bad.”

Man, I'm tellin' you, Mike is the man. We need to get him back on board but in the meantime his pics are kick ass.
