It was a cold night in Austin when we arrived at this slick drop rail. I was excited to find a spot that could do without the fisheye, and Mason was excited to be out of school for Thanksgiving. When he told me he could do an AO Unity, I knew exactly where I wanted to shoot it from. I set one flash off to my left, and another on the stairs for some backlight. One thing you can’t really tell from this photo is that riding off the end of the rail puts you directly on top of the curb, making for a difficult landing. But Mason kills, so, a few flashes and butt-scrapes later, the trick was laced. — Greg King
