Followed the Birdman around yesterday at the Generations of Skate competition in Venice Beach. Good times.

Awesome pics of an icon, favorite is the Andy Mac photo. My first board, 20-some years ago, was a Tony Hawk Boneite XT.

The weather was horrible... Pea soup thick fog all day. However, had the sun been out I don't think the wide shots of Tony in the air would have worked.
It was awesome to see Tony still rippping at 43.
Thanks for the love.

I was really trying to work the creative angle and spent over an hour trying to figure out a way to make it work. Never really came together like I was hoping for.

I like them all, but #2 is great. Different shot than you normally see in this sort of series.

Thanks Chilly.. It was definitely a fun one. It didn't feel like work, more like hangin at the skatepark with friends than anything.
