I took this pic of Jacob Tillman with a point-and-shoot automatic camera and got lucky with the timing. He's busting a frontside ollie out of the mini side of Lemmy's Ramp in Oakland. Holy shit! Look at the size of that air. Jacob is the best skater ever. Landed? Oh fuck yeah.

I shot, processed, and printed this black and white in my Photo1 class at CCAC. Pixar's Jason Deamer frontside 50-50s a sweet flatrail that was right next to my apartment in Oakland. Deamer was fearless and got a fair share of injuries while skating. Maybe someday I'll upload a video clip of him breaking his wrist.

This is a pre-session pic of Jacob Tillman and Chris Becker cleaning out the Hotdog pool in the Oakland hills. This was the last remaining pool made skateable by the Oakland hill fires of 1992. It was sessioned into 2002. The footage I took of Tillman shredding this pool is in the latest Concussion video.

Here is a pic of Oakland lifer Ron Allen. We set up some plywood on the front stairs of OakTech highschool, and Ron, here, is boardsliding UP the rail.
