Carlos Montenegro, or as other rollers in NYC know him, “Loso,” laced this Topsoul in complete darkness. We began our day around 10 a.m. at Penn Station, waiting for people to meet up with us. But after many flakes, we were able to arrive at Drop In skatepark with only five minutes to spare. After walking tracks, hoping trains, and skating it all the way up hill from a long travel, we barely made it in. Everyone knows that most skateparks charge an entrance fee, but luckily the guys over at Drop In were kind enough to let us in for free after hearing our struggle to get there. One minute after setting up my camera and having a friend hold my flash by hand, I was able to capture this shot with only the use of my manual focus and sense of hearing. The run up of the ramp was the only indication that Carlos was taking off. I was set at 0.004 sec (1/250) at an aperture of f3.5 on my regular 18mm kit lens. To get a better perspective of how the day went feel free to check out the set. — David Toro (okasu)
