Like Doc Brown said “Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.” Taking that to heart is this week’s Monday Cover skater, Shawn “McFly” Reinert, floating the gap at Brookings. Sometimes you have to look back to go forward. Check out more images along with some sequences of Shawn and his hover board after the turn.
Congratulations Shawn!

Sick! Great sequences too!
How far is that gap?
that gap has been an enigma to me for years. nice shots.
The gap is probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 15′ across.
Looks like the snowboarding paid off, Shawn! It’s hard to believe that they make gaps like that for skateboards. Impressive skating and photos.
“If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour… you’re gonna see some serious shit.”
Sick shots, man.
That’s awesome!!!!!!
sickness….
when i got to visit brookings i thought that gap was pure insanity. these photos confirm my initial hypothesis. you guys are my heroes!
