SLUG Skate Photo Feature: Miles Vigil
I met Miles Vigil about 30 minutes before shooting this photo. He said that he had an idea for a photo, and then described how he wanted to ollie off this bump on the sidewalk to a ledge from which he would foot plant and then drop down into the street. What I pictured in my head was nowhere near as cool as what he actually did. … read more
SLUG Skate Photo Feature: Matt Fisher
It’s been three years since I shot with Matt Fisher. Just like last time, we started things off early with a 7:30 a.m. skate mission. Feeling good with two solid tricks in the can before 9 a.m., we headed out to find this rail and size it up. After a boardslide in front of a
SLUG Skate Photo Feature: Jeremy Jones
Excuse me while I wax nostalgic (again). Jeremy Jones and the Dirty Hessian videos were my first exposure to Salt Lake City skateboarding back in the mid-’90s. He was skating fast and jumping down big stairs. The ollie over the double set rail … huge. I don’t remember if he even landed it, but it

Skate Photo Feature: Ryan Lay
I was lucky enough to shoot with Ryan Lay while he was in Utah a couple of months back. He has an eye for unique spots and a nollie reminiscent of Paulo Diaz. This is my favorite shot I got with him: keeping it classic with an Anthony Pappalardo–esque backside 50-50 in SLC.
SLUG Skate Photo Feature: Chandler Seipert
Kicked Out of Everywhere was a skate video title from Real Skateboards circa 1999. That phrase describes street skating pretty well.
SLUG Skate Photo Feature: Taylor Green
These photos are the result of three trips to the library, two (and a half) broken boards and a lot of skin and blood from Taylor Green’s back.
SLUG Skate Photo Feature: Isaiah Beh
Isaiah has been around the Salt Lake skate scene for a long time. He won’t remember this, but I first saw him skate in person one night in 2003 … … read more

Skate Photo Feature
Dirk’s skateboarding is full of unconventional tricks. He comes up with some pretty harebrained ideas and, somehow, pulls them off with style and ease. Look at that last frame. … read more
Skate Photo Feature: Tyson Bowerbank
Finding a new line at an old spot is always nice—no flip-in, flip-out stuff here. Tyson kept it clean and simple … … read more
