I was on tour in Mannheim, Germany, with Grindhouse rider Maik Lojewski and Patrick Ridder. We wanted to get enough clips together for a “One Minute One Spot” Be-mag Edit, but unfortunately ended up having the clips not on one spot, but on several! We’d been skating a dfd-kinked ledge where Patrick laid down some sick lines but got injured doing a topside pornstar, giving himself a bloody ankle. So I spent some time shooting Maik at Mannheim’s University that also turned out pretty good. Despite Patrick’s ankle situation, we still wanted to shoot photos, so we went to Worms, a smaller town right next to Mannheim. That’s where we found some nice concrete curbs and this rail to gap. Always super motivated, Patrick got pumped to do this “shifty” to Gap for the photo first try. Strobist: Canon 7D, 50 mm f 1.8, and two speedlights on full power camera left. — Peter Bender
