5 Years Later, Nehemiah Skateboards Again!


manual to 5-set ollie, courtesy of matt

the last time i really went skateboarding was… maybe 5 years ago?  jeff and i headed out with brian, a high schooler, to the local skatepark.  i’d never skated in a skatepark before, and i wasn’t really up for it with a bruised tailbone from snowboarding the week before.  it didn’t really matter though; i had so much fun shooting photos and filming, it was ridiculous.  the kids there could really pull off some of the gnarliest tricks.  yes, gnarly.  oh yeah, did i mention that they were all a lot younger than us?  one kid, teddy, was only 14, and he’d already skated for 4 years.  another, matt, looked like he was the same age, and had skated for 9 years.  so jeff and i signed up, rented a helmet (which was so nasty from sweat that i bought a skullcap to wear under it), and hit the park.


“skate at your own risk. protective gear is required.”


bowls… lots of them.  i didn’t even try.


sweet shop.  i bought a skullcap there.


some of the kids, and more of the park.
