bombing the hill out the front of my house. its this road that gets me everywhere. to bondi, to the beach, to teet "trev" mcdeet's, to the pub, to work, milk, the papers, smokes. my chicken schnitzel sandwichs with lettuce and mayo from top tucker? this road. like i said, everywhere....
mmmm, schnitzel .

"this road leads to this" social distortion.

In the story mine..

    I started skateboarding again, but only flatland. I've not yet worked my way up to rollin' with speed again. This picture helps me stay motivated as I reach for my aspirations.

    Joseph Rotindo said (12 Oct 2009):

    whoa...pete...when you capture a feeling, its so much more than being "about the image".

    so i'll have to say, this is more than just photography, because until you're on a board, racing down a hill at god-knows-what speed, wondering if you're gonna eat it or not, you just don't know what its about.

    this is iconic.
