Skateboarding has been a huge part of my life for a long time. I got into skating when I was 10 or 11 and it has been a hobby and an inspiration for me ever since. One of the big inspiration for many of my skating photos has been magazines such as Thrasher and TransWorld Skateboarding and many of my favorite photographers such as Atiba Jefferson. Ed Templeton, and Arto Saari. The skateboarding community here in Albuquerque and everywhere else has given me a sense of family and that is one of the best parts about skateboarding so this gallery is a series of some of my friends and one of the great sports of skateboarding.
