Two more shots of Dave Young from the Kink Destroyer Tour back in 2000. The fastplant is from the same quarterpipe in New Jersey that gave us a cover shot of Ride Magazine (also of Dave) from the trip. You can check out what Dave’s up to here. Or check out the previous archive photos of him I uploaded a few weeks back here.

That’s right. Dave Fucking Young, shot in 2000. I don’t know how else to describe him. I met Dave in 1999 when I moved to California. Around that time he was filming for Dave Parrick’s video “Nowhere Fast,” where he produced a part which could be considered one of the best BMX street video parts of all time. It was ahead of its time.

I went on a few trips with Dave in the next couple years, including the Kink “Destroyer Tour” which I shot for a feature while I was working at Ride BMX Magazine. Dave was actually on the cover that issue, which was also my first Ride cover photo. These two shots are outakes from that trip (I think they were actually in a Kink catalog later that year) which took place in the summer of 2000.

I found a few other photos from that trip including a couple more of Dave, Jim Cielincki, and Ryan Sher which I’ll post sometime in the future. But for now, it’s Dave Young!
