Cooper Wilt in Thrasher Spread

Cooper Wilt was kind enough to call me to shoot a trick one day. When I finally go on the road, it took me a while to drive up to this spot in the valley, and I was pretty harshly late. When I showed up he was already way involved in the trick and stomping it nicely.

Chris Haslam was shooting the sequence with a digicam that he owns, and as soon as I set up he puts his down and within about 10 tries Cooper stomps one and rolls away. Haslam looks right at me with open eyes and says very sarcastically, "Damn dude, you just roll up all easy and just snap the shot, eh? 5 mins and its done, what a rough day at work!"

I shrug my shoulders, give a little aloof smile and proof/save the sequence. Cooper gives a couple more to try and land a crispier one but our session is cut short due to the police which end up doing the whole "Everyone sitdown and listen to us talk for about 2 hours" speech.


He scrolls around the crowd and asks each kid how old they are. He then proceeds and pauses on Haslam (with the full on entire face beard) and says, "Who's your kid?" Or maybe it was "Why you here?" naturally assuming he doesn't skate. The look on Haslam's face is super funny, and his reply is "Uhh, dude I'm from Canada, and I skate.. But I just didn't bring my board."

I think the cop gives him a look like, "Suuuurrrreeeee" and moved on to the next kid. Hahah, long but randomly entertaining day.
