pipe at The Pipe Skatepark in Janesville, WS as Terri Rhea gets the
shot. Young Joel Scharnweber, age 10, boardslides the rail at

took this photo of Neil Harker 360° flipping his way through a road trip from Ottawa,
Canada, all the way to Halifax, Nova Scotia. This grind by Dan Costa at the Fergeson
bench in New Providence, PA is of the crooked variety, and photographer Joe Giannini
likes it that way. Tasmanian devil Duncan Ewington takes some time out from behind
the lens to do a switch noseslide in Hobart, Australia, giving his friend Sean Holland a
chance to get the camera credit. A few years back, the words "hay" and "skate demo"
would never have been
e been used in the same sentence. But now that country music is all
the rage, Brannon John isn't afraid to take part in a hay bale hurdling contest. Photo by
Michael Louie. Photographer Jeff Yates told his friend Lucas Vidana of Tacoma, WA that
he could either take the window or the stairs; Lucas took the stairs-all 11 of them.
Renegade rock star Melvin Kwok is so punk that he barged this kickflip to fakie on the
mini-ramp before they even took down the orange construction netting at DK's
Mainstreet skatepark in Kokomo, IN. Photo by Mike Henderson.
