I had a great time shooting these fellows as they shot past me, literally.  Four prints this page.
 

A note on the Title of "Gavin's Print", I had not initially intended to use this print in the series given its darkness and lack of detail. I wanted to but couldn't convince myself although ater talking with Gavin at Vital Projects I changed my mind and included it, hence "Gavin's Print"

LOOKOUT!!

LOOKOUT!!  Is an example of how close the guys would pass by.  I have shots of all of the guys this close or closer.  I couldn't say for sure but I think they were having a contest to see how close they could come without hitting me. They never did and I only felt I had to move out of the way one time, see the print Powerslide for that annecdote, other than that I held my ground and trusted their skill.  No one was hurt durring the filming of Series One: Longboard.
