As of yesterday, Eric Koston is not part of Lakai Footwear anymore... big news. http://www.lakai.com
Two days ago Boulevard Skateshop held the Step In The Arena contest at the Kerrisdale Arena
Competitor registration cost $20, they had lots of different obstacles, a good ol' fashioned jump ramp jam, a high ollie contest, and it was tons of fun!
Photo wise, it was really bad lighting in the arena, other photographers' flashes were going off at the same time (some shots have their flashes going off), I had to bare with ISO grain, shallower depths of focus, and slower shutters then I normally would use. Using 1.4 at a contest isn't very easy, had to manually focus and guess what trick they were doing for a different angle. All I own is manual powered flashes and I didn't want them in the way or to get hit, so I had to opt for the arena lighting. But I still captured the soul of the contest.
Here is some photos I took (click them to see the larger version):
