Shot of the Week

SOTW 4-7-08: Bone man in the bone yard

This week’s Shot of the Week is another old one, dating back to 2001. Chris “Bone Man” Swan at the old Pier Park skatepark. I like the way everything is out of focus except for the wheel and shoe, and it’s shot with film. How nice. Bone man doesn’t skate very much these days, but when he does he still rips. He’s annoying that way. Check out the full sized shot.

    FISHBONE!? Damn that’s a funky base. Norwood would even be impressed at the pier renovation.

    nice picture, why did the tear out the old park.. instead of adding on, like L C…? was the park crappy or something… it looks fun in the pic…

  4. The old park was craptacular, but you could still have fun. They tore out the old one because due to some zoning or permit issues they weren’t allowed to add significantly more square feet without…. I don’t know. It was a bunch of arbitrary red tape if you ask me. Someone who knows (MC or Miller or Sonny) should tell it.

    You are correct sir. Although the halftone is coarser in the actual printed version.

    From 2006:
