SKATERS
EYE
Yeah, everybody knows skaters are creative.
If you analyze it too much it starts sounding like
sappy, guidance-counselor nonsense, though.
Let's just say Skaters Eye is a chance for rippers
to jump on the other side of the lens to show
what they've got.
PHOTOS BY
BAILEY
e's a mild type, surf shotgun blast to your kneecap in the dark. He
goes unnoticed for a while. He might come across a little boring
entertain you. You might not even like him. You probably haven't met
him. He didn't think a board with his name on it was a good idea, and
maybe it wasn't a good idea that Neil Blender did the graphics and Neil
still hasn't got the 101-ers tape I promised him. The way we see it, he's
got nothing to prove. He loves skateboarding and he just needed a little
cash to travel and he'll muscle memory some of the best frontside ollies
at very high speeds in this great, the-beginning-was-the-end sport.
Skateboarding. I love pressure. He doesn't.
Love,
Jason Jessee

Matt Howe isn't hungry for
coverage, he's just stoked
Bailey's lights mean the
session can go into the
night. This frontside ollie is
the only photo Bailey didn't
shoot, that's 'cause it's him
doing it. Al Partanen,

Vagabond pool in Fresno.
Wasteland; paty's over.
Pipe dreams. Praying for a
quick death.
