SOTW 6-02-08: Fritz Mead at Attleboro
June 2nd, 2008 by Kilwag
I can’t believe I’m actually getting this one up in time, but this week’s Shot of the Week also marks the start of the second year of actually updating the shots once a week. Before that there was just the showcase gallery that would sometimes (OK, usually) stay unchanged for over a month.
This week’s Shot of the Week is a Xeno photo of Fritz Mead. I originally wanted to use a photo I found on the Saturday Skateboards web site, but Xeno pointed it out that it was pretty old and had already run in Focus. I don’t care about that so much, but I did like this photo a lot. It’s a 2008 shot from a place called Attleboro, which I’m guessing is in Massachusetts. This photo is actually a little misleading in terms of the scale of the skate structure. There’s a shot after the jump that will put it into perspective.
Don’t forget to check out the full size version of the Shot of the Week.
Xeno has a web site, but it seems to be generating an error, so you might as well go check out Saturday Skateboards.
Look at the far wall. This thing looks huge.

Home turf of the 5.9 and fun as hell. Attleboro is probably tied with FDR in the paint job tally …

This place looks fantastic … the second shot is out of control. And I love the light on the first shot, there’s a kind of glow to the colors that’s just beautiful. Damn fine skating too.
