Made the newspaper!

agentQ · 2007-06-07T01:04:20+00:00

So I had forgotten about the guy taking photos and jotting some info yesterday, untill I heard some NY local yelling, "Hey arnt you that kid in the paper.... I knew it!". Any who here is the pic from the "Metro" they put it next to some article about slimming down NY's youth..... I'm sure you can see why. Haha.

Wow, thanks for the posts guys...
he only took like 5 or 8 or so pics I think, some stand on wheel shots,
and a couple unispins. As soon as I did the tire grab once, he was all
about that, think the third one came out good. Had to make a pretty big
recover hop to land it, but all the NYC citizens dont have to know that
😉
Yea I for sure didnt say anything about music videos.. tho I would take
the job. Less off the ball than most newspaper qoutes I suppose, haha.

Your head looks unnaturally large. Is that always the case or was that
just a really wide angle lens? 🙂
Awesome shot and coverage. Good luck in getting jobs your mom won't be
proud of! (show biz, that is)

John,
That pic was taken about one and a half feet away from me. My head
feels about the right size, haha.
I'm not sure why my mother wouldnt be proud of me. She is very
supportive of whatever I do. "show biz" is not my goal. Uni vids,
Snowboard vids, that is where I am aiming....(strange comment,
nontheless)

Made it into another major city's news paper. Boston this time. Again
not a huge deal news paper, but non-the-less still pretty neat.
Not nearly as awesome of a picture this time.. Although it did make the
Front page.😄
