  • 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.

    What a beautiful quote, exactly how I feel about skateboarding and what makes it such a beautiful art to me

      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.

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'.
