Jake Johnson - wallie tailslide

This sequence was shot by Jonathan Mehring and appeared in the Howl section of the October 2007 issue of Skateboarder. As I have mentioned before, I started reading the mag at my public library before subscribing to it, and the October 2007 issue was the last one I had to read there before getting them in the mail. The memories of flipping through those issues at the library are still very fresh in my mind, and one of the images I remember most is this wallie tailslide. It was one of the first times that I thought that skateboarding was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. You can see the clip here.
