On this particular day, we checked out the new Skateplaza in Wiesbaden near the train station. Our aim was to shoot something, but we got kicked out of several spots and didn’t find anything besides this rough kinked rail. It was squared, had a messed up run-up, and a totally-destroyed landing which made it even harder for Konstantin to lace his trick. He was thinking about doing BS Shifty (Royale), but he tried out with some Backsides first. I took some test photos… and you can see the result above. One shot later he fell and didn’t want to skate anymore that afternoon. This photo was shot with a Canon 350d and a 50mm f 1.8 lense at 2.8, with one strobe to the right in the bushes and another as a kind of rimlight from behind left. — Peter Bender
