- Theo Hand is one of those skate documentarians who may not have the same level of name recognition as people like J. Grant Brittian or Atiba Jefferson, but has shaped how skateboarding looks in the modern age, documenting names like Chad Muska, Tom Penny, and Ali Boulala, all in their prime.

We need a photo book by this guy
That would be sick, really love one from Daniel Harold Sturt
no we dont
I’ve never seen the raw footage of Tom making that leap between the rocks. Holy shit, the sound it makes when he catches himself on the opposite side is fucking hilarious.
Sounded like he broke the entire lower half of his body
I could watch 2 hours of this
“If you can create a spontaneous, in the moment situation and make it look like a studio or planned shot, that to me is kind of like, the pinnacle of, you know, what I like” - Theo Hand
What a beautiful quote, exactly how I feel about skateboarding and what makes it such a beautiful art to me
pretty gay
Not really
@@Stunnas89 it's ok he/him, gay is tolerable in most blue cess cities these days
@@tyrone-dh6iy are u ever not thinking about gay people? sounds pretty gay to me
Tom Penny jump was insane! 😂
My only complaint about this, is that it isn't longer. Great job, Jenkem.
Ehh you get what you get, the only reason it isn't longer is because as good as this guy is at snapping photos he just isn't that interesting to talk to.
This gives me chills
Lol why
@@Hevel378 This time area was the first time when I was 12 and stepped foot on a skateboard. The flip sorry video is the first real skate film I saw to that level being filmed to that level. Which inspired everything I do 20 years to this day.. Signal flow.. coding, video. Seeing the final background this long after of questions you always had as a kid is truly inspiring. So that's 'why'.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply
Dude right ?!those dogs are so chill
That invisible shuv it clip is insane to this day
This was gold. I met Theo a couple of times a few years back and he was the nicest person ever.
As someone who's trying to get into skate photography, I'd love to see more stuff like this so keep it up
this dude is rad, love stuff like this
Shout Out to Theo and all the other photographers for documenting this era. This was A special time in skating.
Brings back some great memories from Bordeaux and U.K. trips with Ali! Your last quote nails it on the end. It’s because you like it.
omg ! Jenkem thank you guys, more Theo pls! !
So cool to see other photographers that got their start with the old Pentax cameras. Glen Friedman as well. I still use my Spotmatic every now and then. Still takes great shots.
spotmatic and 20mm lens = lots of fun
@@falsecoffee I still have the 17mm fisheye I picked up at the Earl Warren Fairgrounds photo swap meet in 93 for $150 (A lot of money for me back then). Amazing lens for both skate and hardcore band photography. :)
Excellent piece, guys.
I met him at noho skatepark years back super cool guy we smoked weed and talked about life I didn’t know who he was and he never brought up how much of a legend he is. I love you Theo.
Here for Penny of course.
I'm always on the hunt for skate photographers and their work
Thank you jenkem
Dude has such a good eye and style of shooting it's unreal
I miss the 90s so much :(
This was super insightful and sick
Theo's the man, my roommates and I used to smoke spliffs with him when we lived around the corner from him in LA. He's got some awesome stories!

Didn't Penny explain that he actually hurt his ankle by jumping from the rocks?
Yep

I miss parts of the 90s.
