As a skater, I never stop analyzing every curb, planter, ditch, gap, and set of stairs for potential skatability – even if most of these tempting street obstacles would send me back to the hospital for sure (I’ll stick to the parks, thank you).

Austen Heard, 2007. Just a nice 50-50 down the rail.

Austen Heard, 2007. Caught just before wood hits meta at the Mount Pleasant Skatepark.

Six Months Can Make a Difference
Check out these two shots of Austen Heard at the Mount Pleasant Skatepark. The first was taken two days ago, while the second was taken six months ago. This kid’s been eating his Wheaties for sure. – April 2007 – October 2006
Frontside Tweaky
Dylan Taylor, 2007. Homeboy’s got style like a pair of Prada shoes.
Into Thin Air
Dylan Taylor, 2007. Grabbing backside out of the big very bowl.
