SLUG Skate Photo Feature: Seth Haupt
Seth Haupt – Backside Hurricane – Provo, Utah The skateboard scene is thriving in Utah. There are so many people out there killing it that it’s nearly impossible to know them all. In the past, everyone knew each other—the community was that small. I’ve never even met a large number of the local skaters whom
SLUG Skate Photo Feature: Sam Hubble
Sam Hubble battled this rail. Not only is it super tall with an awkward run up, but it’s unstable, so it would wobble like crazy every time he got on it. … read more

SLUG Skate Photo Feature: Miles Vigil
I met Miles Vigil about 30 minutes before shooting this photo. He said that he had an idea for a photo, and then described how he wanted to ollie off this bump on the sidewalk to a ledge from which he would foot plant and then drop down into the street.

SLUG Skate Photo Feature: Matt Fisher
It’s been three years since I shot with Matt Fisher. Just like last time, we started things off early with a 7:30 a.m. skate mission. Feeling good with two solid tricks in the can before 9 a.m., we headed out to find this rail and size it up. After a boardslide in front of a
SLUG Skate Photo Feature: Jeremy Jones
Excuse me while I wax nostalgic (again). Jeremy Jones and the Dirty Hessian videos were my first exposure to Salt Lake City skateboarding back in the mid-’90s. He was skating fast and jumping down big stairs. The ollie over the double set rail … huge. I don’t remember if he even landed it, but it
