Al Partanen Gems from the Harddrive [1]

Al Partanen has been on a killing spree the past 2 years and beyond. I have been going through some of photos that didn’t make the cut in the magazine, most likely because he had to many to choose from. North West down to LA over to AZ then way over to Japan, Al is has been covering and ripping some serious terrain.

Remy Stratton must have just came from a trip over to Hawaii. He sent this shot of Steve Ellis also known as Cholo, in his own backyard skate compound. Over 50 still shredding, yeah Bruddah

Indy riders featured in Brian Fick's photo exhibit

Brian Fick’s photo exhibit at the Sea Rocket Bistro in North Park San Diego opened March 7th. The place was packed and cold beers were flowing. A lot of Indy riders were on the walls, so I poached some photos for the web. They look way better in person. The exhibit is up for a month if you want to go check it out
