Photographer atibaphoto got down on the tracks to capture skateboarder Tyshawn Jones jumping over the gap between platforms at the 145th Street subway station. MatthewStieb reports on how the shot came together
jumping the tracks at a similarly proportioned platform at the Fordham Road station in 2012. Mike’s surname has been lost to time.
Last year, Brandon Bonner from Virginia flew in to clear the gap at 145th by placing a sign over the rumble strips for a— basically an ollie where you spin the board half a rotation so the wheels in the back end up in the front. “You have to block it out and think that nothing is going to go wrong, that it’s a normal little street gap or something,” Bonner said. “I was just going for it to charge as fast as I could to make sure I could get it.
“You want to bring that speed to the table, and Tyshawn has always been famous for having, like, immaculate pop,” Bonner added. “He’s got some pop out of this world, really.” “He didn’t do a basic trick like an ollie,” said Jefferson. “He did a kickflip. It’s the difference between a run-and-jump and basically a backflip.” The maneuver involves pressing your back foot down to pop the board in the air while sliding your front foot to the left so it rotates under you to expose the wheel side of the board before catching it with your feet when it turns upright.
