The Avenue is a skatepark built into an old cinema. The place has deep bowls and a screen that is still being used for projections. David Reyes shows he can apply his handrail skills to pool coping through repetitive backside smithgrinds.
I was expecting the “assistant” to set up a mattress for Mr. Pommier to relax on next. Turns out he wasn’t an assistant but Thrasher’s own David Broach, as well as Circa Footwear’s Staff Photographer. Weird. Three photographers can be very productive if you split into different crews who know all the spots and each group goes in a different direction with a filmer. Tours don’t work that way though. We usually have one local guiding us from handrail to handrail, willing to see the pros destroy their local terrain. The few skaters in the mood to attack a piece of metal will skate and the rest just chill. Of course, this is Circa, so more than the average number of skaters do skate big stuff, but even the rawest sometimes need some rest in between flights and demos. So basically, there is only one trick to shoot at any given time on a tour, and if there are three photographers and two filmers, chances are you’re not getting anything original out of the fuss.
