Caruthers skateboard Park

Fabiana Delfino and Amy Ram are rad skateboarders. First off my kids and I were having a skatepark tour on Martin Luther King Day. And our second stop was Belvedere skateboard Park located in East LA. To our surprise the skatepark was pretty empty. And so we are having a fun session in the flow of Belvedere. Soon after two skaters roll into the park. And as I watched their first runs I was amazed by their board control. I mean this skateboarding was not your typical Belvedere level. So it turns out to be Fabiano Delfino and Amy Ram.

If you ever get the chance to watch Fabiana Delfino and Amy Ram in person you will trip on their skills. In fact Fabiano Delfino has this intense power and presicion about her skating. Sort of reminded me of a velociraptor. And Amy Ram’s skateboarding has this gnarly factor.

On February 20th 2012 I took some pictures of Lizzie Armanto skateboarding Montclair skatepark. Before on this day we had some breakfast at a place called Flake in Venice California. Afterward we probably drove to Montclair Skatepark. And after the skate/ photo session in Montclair I probably dropped her off at the Combi in Orange California.

Back in 2012 Lizzie Armanto and I would sometimes hit up to 3 skate spots in a day. And probably stopped at at least one tea place along the way. More importantly this was a great time for me to work on my skateboard photography technique. Above all it was just a fun time to hang out with Lizzie.

Here is another photograph I published many years ago from the same session.
