Keep Moving

Nikki Jason is a woman I met recently on a freelance assignment. She’s put her passion for skateboarding into goodwill gestures towards her community, organizing skate events and a skateboard camp for girls. As someone who grew up skateboarding, and who credits it for no less than changing my outlook on life, it was really inspirational to meet an adult who is still skating (I wish I could say I skated more than a few times a year now) and doing really good things with it. Plus she was just really cool, and her husband skates. Their trips are to places like Mammoth, CA just for the skateparks! Kindred spirits it seems. I photographed her at the Athens skatepark where she knows how to cruise around those walls behind her pretty well.
