Pier Park session 2-23-08

Another beautiful day

There’s no better way to combat a buzzkill than enjoying a session in some unseasonably dry and warm weather. if you can’t actually go out and skate today, you can still enjoy some photos from a session at Pier Park last Saturday.

Mike Swim. Miller was right. You don’t see a lot of action photos of this park from this angle. That’s because most people only use this bowl to turn around. It looks so small compared to the deep end. Still, it’s 9 1/2 feet deep!

Mike Swim – Yeah, I’m not in the right spot for this shot, but I like it anyway because it looks fun and gives you an idea of how high he’s floating these. Good enough for the Interwebs™.

  1. That blunt to fakie is Logi Loggerson, or something very near that. Nice pics! Brad needs to turn that boombox down so he can hear his cell phone.

  2. You could try holding the camera straight.

    Haw haw! Zinger! What a great skateboarding day, that’s going to do it for me, I’m retiring to spend more time with my prize winning geraniums.

  3. CONAHAN: Well You could try setting up a tripod with your camera, hitting the manual timer, then dropping in and making it back to the same wall for your invert, then taking your film in to be developed to see if you got your level shot.

    RICH: or he could replace his iPod on the line in with an iPhone, then when the call came in, the whole park could hear it… That is as long as MC wasn’t messing with the playlists all the time.

  4. i recognize that boombox….and i love it…looks like you had a fun…….
