More photos from the 2007 TMB

Jesse FS grind. He has the talent to win the contest but I am not sure He cares :)

This dude must be a good friend of Raven since He skated in simultaneous with Raven during Raven's second run!

Jeremy looking strong.

Steve working on some moves on Saturday.

Jesse Santoyo is such a strong skateboarder. During the TMB 2006 contest, none of its photos came up good. Today was his lucky day. The only 2 shots I took, look fantastic.



Ollie to grab.












Jesse huge FS air.










Grady and Frank were launching from the big bowl and worked on some nice tricks.





Nice board :)

Before I left to pick up my kids at the art classe, Steven was kind enough to skate the big bowl and launch big FS air.



Steven rock'n roll.

Steven FS air with Frank, Grady trying to kill the photo.













Steven still FS air, my favorite shot.

SV with Jeremy and Ijay

On Friday evening, at Scotts Valley skatepark, we met with Jeremy and his almost 6 year old son Ijay. Jeremy can be often seen with Ijay, either at Santa Cruz or Scotts Valley.
Ijay and Benoit teamed up and had just a blast.
Since Ijay could drop in from the 8 1/2 copping from the big bow. Benoit wanted to try it out but He got kind of scared by the hight but Jeremy showed him how to drop in from the side of the bowl and before we knew it Benoit dropped in from the 8 1/2 wall.







Jesse ollie to fakie melon grab















Jesse tail slide

Benoit ready to roll in. For only few minutes, the sun got trapped between the fog and clouds giving those warm colors.










Jeremy and Ijay.
