From the Archives: Jason Enns, 1998

ennsportrait

I dug out some folders of some old BMX slides from when I still lived in New England. Most of the stuff was shot during the late 1990s. I’ve got a lot of stuff from Kevin Robinson’s old skatepark, Impact which was in Providence, and I’ll post that in the near future. But this stuff of Jason Enns is what I was looking for in the digging process. I remembered we’d shot some stuff at Impact for the second issue of Nine-ninety Magazine (which was never published), and I was curious if it had disappeared. Sure enough, it was sitting unused in an Impact Skatepark folder in my slide archives. Jason had some of the most original mini-ramp style tricks at the time, and we had shot an X-up Canadian nosepick on the six foot quarterpipe, which really stuck out in my mind. 12 years later it’s still a bad ass trick. I was really hoping I still had this negative, and sure enough I did (In those days I didn’t really file stuff away properly). Check it out after the jump. Pusher sticker on his helmet, Iron Maiden patches on his ProDesign elbow pads. Kink Revision B frame. That bike is probably about 45 pounds.
