From the Archives: Kevin Porter, 2004
Back in 2004 I drove from Central Pennsylvania to Chicago for Kevin Porter’s birthday party. It was a 10 hour drive each way, and I stayed in town for less than a day. Kevin was about two weeks into recovering from having his spleen removed, and definitely shouldn’t have been riding his bike. We hit a skatepark by his house in Burbank for the afternoon, and got this photo of a transfer from a quarter in the back into a wedge in the foreground. Not a bad table for a guy with organs hanging out of his abdomen. This shot ran in BMX Plus magazine a few months later.
