46 THRASHER
Some of the best perspectives
on skating happen when you
least expect them. Say it's a
heated session where things are
popping and people are slam-
ming and everyone is pumped.
You try a trick and beef only to
look up as one of your pals fly
right by your head. You gas on
the action. And bam! It just
makes all the pain go away, you
jump back on your load and try
it again. Laban Pheidias (left)
