I am very happy about this picture my friend Mike took of me this weekend, so at the risk be being too self-indulgent on my blog, I’m going to post it here.
For my non-skating friends, this is a G-Turn, which is a carving turn done while doing a wheelie on the front wheels. Usually at the end the skater swings the board all the way around and comes down the wall backwards, but in this case I just carved a nice, wide turn. It really isn’t a very hard trick, but it is fun, and is also photogenic, so what the hell…here it is. I learned these when I was 14, and I’ve been doing them ever since.
