Ever thought of blading in a yacht parking lot? A few weeks ago, Dallas Kilpatrick called me, juiced about this gap over a fence, across water and onto a dock on Lake Michigan. We set out to shoot it a few days later, before the marina filled up for the season. Sure, all those big boats would make for a cool picture, but it would also mean far tighter security.
Dallas navigated a nasty run-up, pushed through a fierce headwind and avoided a patrolling cop to lace several straight airs, but ultimately it was his skates clipping the fence on a 180 attempt that forced us to call it quits before we got the money shot. In fact, why don’t you check out footage of that fall (and a whole lot of others from Dallas) in this edit by Andrew Kazlauskas. — Adam Morris
not really digging all the falls this dood takes. i have an idea. go to CVS or Walgreens and buy sum insoles. dont get the Dr Scholls ones tho, as they do not hold up as well as the Profoot brand in my opinion. or you could just quit rollerblading.
I fully see know how Adam Morris is taking over the world. I for one welcome our new Iowa-alum, Brew City overlord.
Dallas — you’re a beast man. That’s some burly shit right there.
Jimmy John, just to let you know, I do land plenty of tricks dude. If you aren’t occasionally falling when you are skating then you are just not trying hard enough shit. That little edit was made as a joke.
