Yesterday I got to
visit the original location where my first book cover
photo was shot. In early 2007 I just started riding for
Triple 8 Helmets and they requested a head shot for their
team page. That was the purpose of doing the photo. That
same year the photo ended up being used for an 18X24
poster with Negative One Griptape to which they produced
thousands of them. That particular poster seemed to be
requested more than the others in my poster pile. Fast
forward to 2009 after getting my first book deal it was
time to make a cover. The publisher had a few ideas but I
pushed for this photo to be used as the cover. Without a
doubt this photo has been duplicated more than any other
in my career. It was sentimental and fun to revisit the
spot.
