There is something about digital that makes it harder to shoot skateboarding for me, than with film. Mostly I think it was the intimate connection I had with my old equipment, the pros could hit their target a little more consistently, and i was doing it every day. It's funny to shoot skateboarding again.

There are two kids that go to the park that I like. The kid above and Austin, They both have a work ethic, they are getting better, but they always are doing it smiling. They get that joy from learning new tricks. That joy is what hooks you in. It's the same thing with surfing, that one wave keeps you coming back for months, golf, one good shot a round, anything, it just takes that little big of connection with it to make it worth coming back for.
