We went to the Big Island and had a photo shoot with a great surfer and skater named Bradley Young. He skates for Thruster USA and really is a great talent. I met up with him and his Uncle named Blaine Alconera. Blaine is a fun and crazy guy who strapped me to the back of an open bed pickup truck while Bradley skated behind me going quickly down a hill.

The funniest thing was when a police officer passed us doing this and I thought we were screwed. Instead he waved and passed us which made me laugh out loud. In California they probably would have ticketed both me and Blaine and towed the car to boot. They really are a talented family and Blaine has also done a lot of work in photography. It was a great pleasure to meet them and make some wonderful new local friends on the big island.
