I was asked to be one of the photographers at the first SLUG Magazine Summer of Death skateboard contest a few weeks ago. This contest was called The GhettOlympics, and for good reason. The comp was held in a parking lot on ghetto home made boxes and rails--just like the good old days in the church parking lot. They also had "Olympic" events like longest powerslide, hippie jump hurdles, and a shot put/board toss. It was really HOT. Enjoy a few highlights that I captured.
Kevin Emerson - frontside 180 to switch crooks
David Law - Crook jam on cue
Dirty Sean Hadley - Skateboard Toss

I don't know this guy's name. Bluntslide.
Check out the August issue of SLUG for the write up and more photos from the comp. http://summerofdeath.com/
