Skateboarder Alex Adams reminded me about skateboarding. I first met Alex through Kristy Scott.

In fact many times I would get a few pictures of Alex while shooting pictures of Kristy. Then, Alex and I got on a conversation about backside thrusters. Soon after he is doing them in the bowl at Volcom skateboard park. And I am shooting the trick. Yes we know back thrusters are not the most photogenic trick. Alex and I dont care. Looking back it seems that we put skateboarding ahead of skateboard photography. Consequently Alex made me think about skateboarding.

I hope our conversation makes you think about skateboarding, the way Alex reminded me about it back at Volcom.
