Pictures from the Skate contest at Univeral Studios (pics)
 

This weekend, my friends that work for Toyota Motor Corp in the Marketing Department provided me with VIP tickets to a private skateboarding event. The event was great, they wanted me to take pictures so I got the access I wanted.

Thought you all might like to check out some of the action. Essentially, the event is setup to where each major sponsor built their own obstacle for the pro-skateboarders. For example, Toyota used a Scion car as the actual obstacle. I photographed the see-saw obstacle. Mostly the guys take falls, but it is fun to shoot.

Eric Koston.

I was skating for many years, but I quit! My foot couldt take it...

Paradise by the skateboard light?

Wow! Cool shots. Thanks. :)

Many different ways to shoot it.

some nice pics yes :)

Looks like... or something into a FS 5 0. he rides Goofy (right foot front)
body tweaked to the right and front foot up in the air and board flew out prolly because he overshot it and ended up doing a manual down the thing.

Oh yea.. Ive been riding for 15 years too... Done that a thousand times.

damn i miss my skating days, maybe i should start a webmasters skate team that meets up once a month?

I will keep you in mind for the next event. The events like this are private. Honestly, there weren't a lot of people there.

You sure its not a k-grind? Ever heard of that one, Mr. Scenester?

Nice action photos. But they are a bit small. Can you make them bigger?? FUCK!

good stuff man :thumbsup

What's your deal bro, why you trying to get on my shit? Ive done fakie ollie switch crooks frontside varial out down a six stair ledge. K grind came from Koston back in the uninon video from like 91.

You dont have to be a scenester to love something you've done your whole life.

Scenester? You faggot, me and Chris have been skating together for like 15 years...when a fucking k-grind was just a lip trick...

And Mike Carrol fucking perfected it :thumbsup

Sweet pictures. wish I could skate. :(

Damn those pictures are huge :helpme
