This is Tony Hawk ollieing from the Del Mar Skate Ranch halfpipe over the fence and into the banked slalom run. This was cool to watch...and shoot.
That's a young Alphonzo Rawls laying down making the face. It was 1985 or so or maybe not.

Bob Kronbauer over at Mumble Maggot some notion of giving me a limited edition pro model deck for being old and starting to take skate photos when there was no competition. Bob teamed up with Powell's SkateOne and you can buy them there. The proceeds go to Grind for Life. And No, it's not a bong, it's a telephoto lens.
