Skateboarding and more ….
If you’re into tilt-shift photography and you have an iPhone, the TiltShift Generator by Art & Mobile should be on your list of apps to own. The interface is intuitive and the results are exceptional. Heck, you can even try it out if don’t have an iPhone. Check out the links to the online and Adobe Air version of the TiltShift Generator after the turn along with a few of our experiments. EPM Rating: Super Nova Cool.
A prepared skater never leaves home without their “lip stick.” Case in point, this week’s Monday Cover skater, Kim Petersen, demonstrating how to apply a layer of metal shavings to the Treasure bowl lip. The stoke level of any session is kicked up a few notches when Kim is in the mix. Check out a few more pics of Kim after the turn along with a few video clips.
Congratulations Kim!
Believe it or not, we are wrapping up our third year of Monday Covers and we are honored to feature Mr. Dedication himself, Bryce Kanights. Whether he is on a board, behind a camera or blogging it up for Skate Daily, Bryce is a true skateboarding connoisseur. Check out Bryce on a coping tasting tour after the turn.
Congratulations Bryce!
Doing 8-wheeler pioneer Lonnie Toft proud, is this week’s Monday Cover skater, Rockin’ Ron with a bitchin’ frontside air. That’s one gnarly move on a deck with twice the amount of required trucks and wheels.
Congratulations Ron!
So the next time you’re throwing down an alley oop anything, you might want to thank this week’s Monday Cover skater, the legendary Chris Strople. Seeing those early sequences of Chris hucking a backside alley oop at Del Mar were mind blowing not to mention those trademark striped socks. Check out more pics of Chris shredding the gnar after the turn.
Congratulations Chris!
This one’s been a long time coming. It’s with great pleasure we present to you, the original environmentally correct skater, Tom “Wally” Inouye on this week’s Monday Cover. Wally is the founder and CEO of Inouye’s Pool Service, a water conservation movement whose mission statement reads: “Conserve Water – Drain Your Pool.” Check out all that is Wally after the turn.
Congratulations Wally!

A member of the plastic man clan, this week’s Monday Cover skater, Shawn Reinert, tucks a mean air over the hip at the Bass bowl. If you’ve skated with Shawn, you know he likes to keep a bit of air under his board. Need proof? Check out more pics of Shawn floating about the Northwest along with a bonus video after the turn.
Congratulations Shawn!
It’s all about rock-n-roll. This week’s Monday Cover skater, Jason Lytle, has it on lock on multiple fronts. That’s one styling frontside rocker deep in Big Sky country. Anyone else see echos of Bill Danforth? Check out more pics of Jason being “saved by skateboarding” after the turn.
Congratulations Jason!
