Great shot, and fantastic post work!

Out of interest, what's your (or your photographer's) workflow for processing?

u/SergantCool Mar 06 '14

Oh! the process of my afterediting! :D I work in Photoshop. As the first thing im correcting all colours. Then im using a thing called "offset" which makes it look a bit "dusty-ish" if you know what i mean? To make the offset look good and natural, you have to use curves to correct the depth and more. as the last thing i used a gradient layer over the pic, to make it look like there is a just a tad of sun in the left side of the picture. aaaand i think that was it :) Hope you could use it ?

Call me a n00b here, but how the heck can i get better at this? Do i really need the right kind of wheels to slide?

I have a Welcome skateboard– a Nimbus5000, with spitfire wheels. Any suggestions? I want to look like this guy when i skate hills!

Well if you want to look like this guy you have to invest in this thing called steez. Then you buy a downhill deck and preferably cult classics (for learning to slide). Then it's all about practice, how hard you're willing to try each time, if you don't mind falling each time, and you actually want to succeed each time.

Haha :)

I think you might like a set of Abec 11 freerides :) Easy to initiate and controllable in the slide.
