Dimitry Elyashkevich pretty much left his career as a skateboard photographer in the dust soon after he picked up the video camera for jackass in late 2000, but for old time’s sake he’d packed up his flashes for this road trip. Despite the years taken off behind the lens he still hasn’t lost his touch, and were Big Brother magazine still around in print format this surely would’ve been the cover shot. But where did the tree come from, you ask? A little backyard ramp artistry saw fit to leave the tree in place and simply build the ramp around it for an unconventional yet shady obstacle.
