Where?

Gone Inland.

On my first full day as a 22 year old I headed inland to skate some of the typical industrial spots you can find out there.

During the mandatory flatground warm up session I noticed that Jesus had an epic sweat ghost on his shirt.

Garrett Blair was killing it as usual. Here he warms up with a front board as the lurkers lurk.

Garrett moved on and stuck this front tail.

I can't wait to see Frankie's photo of this.

Austin's back is fucked up so he can't really skate. Instead he tried to sneak a peak up my shorts. Caught in the act.

We went to this amazing loading dock spot, but unfortunately security called the cops pretty much as soon as we got there. What are they trying to secure? This isn't the photo I wanted to shoot, but here is Garrett snapping over the rail.

Ray was really afraid when he heard the cops were coming.

We moved on to this awesome stair ledge spot. Alec Beck was skidding some proper back tails.

As was Ray Maldonado.

Frankie's Feet.

I decided to get experimental with some overhead fisheye shit. More sweet Ray back tail action.

Another Ray back skidder.

You've probably already noticed, but Alec isn't a fancy footwork type of skater. His style is all force and dedication. As a consequence, he always seems to end up on the floor.

Right after spinning out of a back lip.

Unfortunately the day light ran out before Alec could stick this back lip. My picture really doesn't show how high that fourth step was.

Now that you've looked through my boring shit go check Jesus' amazing new Scummish Montage. Some dude in a purple tee does the most buttery nose manny.

Michigonians Maul McBride.

Justin hit me up to shoot some photos on this table he found outside McBride Elementary School that was sitting in front of an epic painting. I didn't have lightstands for my flashes and the ambient light kept changing every few seconds, but I guess it still worked out alright.

Garrett Blair fucking kills it. The session had barely started and he was already locking into these kickflip back tails.

I'm stoked Christian came out skating. Here he glides out of a crook.

Another view. You guys better be actually clicking on these horizontals to view them at full size.

Justin Cefai comes through with a back smith.

Garrett was mashing through these back feebles.

After sticking a few back smiths, Justin moved on to back 180 nosegrinds.

A fisheye view.

Sorry for the major ass shot, I was still set up for Justin's back 180 nosegrind when Garrett stuck this perfect front crooks.

Paul Revere Quickie.

These are just a few shots from a quick little session at Paul Revere a couple weeks ago.

Just messing around on this one. Back lip from the flat. I totally forgot this guy's name...can anyone help me out? He was killing it anyway.

Alec had a pretty frustrating session. He spent the whole time trying to stick this front blunt pop out, but he just couldn't quite stick it.

Alec looking frustrated between tries.

Looking at the enemy.

Looking pretty beat.

Session over.
