Some of us Snowboard, some of us Skate, some of us Surf, some do all three. All of these are connected. Even though this is primarily a Snow site we are going to throw in the occasional Skate and Surf pics just to change things up a bit. The season hasn’t even started so hell… here is this weeks Skate “Double Take” courtesy of George Crosland.
Photographer: George Crosland
Camera: Canon 1D Mark IIN
Lens: Canon 70-200mm L
Lighting: Natural
Rider: PLG
Location: Salt Lake City,UT. Dew Tour
Trick: Heelflip frontside air
These shots were taken practically right after each other. The action shot is during PLG’s final fun of the Salt Lake stop of the Dew Tour. Not only is this PLG’s final fun but the very last last run of the contest. PLG put himself into first place during this same run. He is doing a heelflip frontside air or something, like a set up trick for him. The other photo is right at the very moment when it is announced that the score for that run was enough to overtake Shaun White and Bucky Lasek for the win. I was in the airport showing Bucky some of the photos and he said “you gotta use that one of PLG, that is right when he yelled fuck yea” Well, here they are.
