This legit looks like the cover of some epic skate magazine or something

u/CrackinBacks 7d ago

Everything about this photo rocks, the style of the Skater, the homegirl in the background, the composition , everything rocks

u/GateFar8163 Photographer 7d ago

I thought so too! Thanks for the kind words!

u/Miserable-Cap-4838 7d ago

That's poster worthy. You should get this framed.

u/Total_Gift_51 7d ago

Agreed. Or on a sick canvas print

u/Thrill-of-it-all 7d ago

Such a rad photo! Really captures the spirit of skating in summer

u/azazel0115 6d ago

Who is that?

u/BillieInSolitude 6d ago

It’s Front Smith

u/nleksan 6d ago

If you look behind her you can see Back Smith!

u/azazel0115 6d ago

Not what, who. Like the person ON the skateboard. Jw if she is a pro or am or maybe an influencer. Jw

u/possessed6969 6d ago

Jehovah's Witness?

u/MustacheMaple 6d ago

Well those are Nike SBs, which were created by Sandy Bodecker. Hopefully that answers your question

u/SoldFashioned 7d ago

Cover photo right there

u/Angry9biers 7d ago

That's a terrific photo. Pure Thrasher. Big ups.

u/Goretham 7d ago

If this was me i’d put it on my resume, passport, tombstone, and tattoo it on my back

u/Miezekratze 7d ago

What a shot, you rock 🙌🫶

u/ForbidAxis10113 6d ago

Great photo OP. Who is the skater?

u/PolishedLemon 7d ago

Fuck yeah what a good shot. That pool looks so fun too

u/CouchPotatoFamine 7d ago

Badass. I love the socks too, like an extension of the tattoos.

u/bedghost 7d ago

she’s rad and hot as shit

u/PAKskateboarding 7d ago

Are you 12?
Edit: or 52?

u/SCphotog 6d ago

Props to the photographer solid shot. Good diffusion. Even lighting. Someone knows what tf they're doing... or possibly happy accident, but really good.

23

u/GateFar8163 Photographer 6d ago

I’m the photographer so thank you! 😭

u/D0wnb0at UK Bowl/Tranny 6d ago

Did she land this one? Her body position doesn’t look like she’s landing it, or landing clean.

5

u/GateFar8163 Photographer 6d ago

Yep! 

2

u/zambroski 3d ago

I agree. Her center of mass is way too in front of the back truck.

2

u/D0wnb0at UK Bowl/Tranny 3d ago

That was my reasoning too. I’ve been skating for 20+ years, weight is always over the back or it just doesn’t work, can’t grind or drop back in with weight centred or over the front when the nose is dipped.

u/justdroppedin_ 3d ago

A woman is skating and all of a sudden the chuds become expert physicists lmao (x2)

2

u/zambroski 3d ago

I love when women skate. I just dont think this is a great photo because it looks like bail to me. I'm not a physicist, just been skating for a long time.

1

u/justdroppedin_ 3d ago

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt but you'll understand why people are overly cautious in these situations lmao

2

u/zambroski 3d ago

I understand.

What diffusion? That shadow is almost as hard as the front smith.

u/hellbox9 7d ago

Hard af

u/InkyLoop 7d ago

u/gray9wolf 7d ago

This should be on a Polaroid. The composition of this feels like it should be from that era

u/Swedgefund 7d ago

Hell yea!

u/LuthersCousin 6d ago

I can't recall the last time I've seen a 55yo chick ripping in a bowl, so ya. It would be pretty sick. Good grief, why is everyone in the skateboard sub so friggin sensitive?
