The Centerfold, this was one of the prize
spots to score
for a
skater and photographer next to the cover. This was
my first
one and having this shot at this contest was the
top of it
all. Chris was a fantastic skater and a really
good guy. I
had to be less than 2 feet away from Chris to
get this
shot and to do it during a contest takes a lot of
confidence
between the skater and the photographer. As a
contest
photographer you actually had the best seat in the
house!
