Jay Adams, Stecyk's iconic eye classic. I used to to manuals at the bottom of that hill, Santa Monica.
Bryan Ferdinand, backyard ramp pivot to fakie. Chucka boots or bedtime slippers??
Rodney Mullen, impossible over Grants stick cam, before most could ollie.
Any photo of Gonz is rad. I remember thinking "why?" Now I think, "why the fuck not??" was always his attitude.
One of my top 5 favorites. Straight from San Diego to Seattle with Daniel Harold Sturt, (driving a rented car because he [Hensley] was too afraid of flying) got the photo, drove home. This hat is now 5 minutes from my house.
Another top 5. Wish the car and weren't there. But this is like herding cats. The only reason it's in focus is because they are connected. This is taken probably 50 yards from the Jay Adams photo.
Anyone know the story on this one? Is it real? Is he Gleaming the Cube?
Grant Brittain's experimentation (see also the Rodney pic) with cameras on sticks made for some of the best photos ever. Chris Miller nosebone. A very photogenic meteor.
I remember Surt saying he had 911 ready to dial on his cell phone when he shot this. I was always amazed at how short Wray actually is in person. Flea gene DNA splicing?
I just love this photo, that's all. Dune, SF, circa whenever.
THIS POST WILL KEEP GROWING. WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITES?
Also, odd I had this post already in the works, when I came across Grosso's Love Letter to skateboardings best photos. Bad azz commentaries, funny motherfucker.
