Jason Bash Photo's

I've known Bash for what seems like forever. He loves skateboarding and I think he loves shooting photo's of his friends even more..He's now living in Athens Ohio skating and living life. He's also contributing to theprogramzine.com He sent me some photos today...

You can see more of his stuff at jasonbash.com

The first one is a recent Dave Wheeler 360 flip at the Grove City Park. The second is a photo he took of Ty Wright at Dodge Skatepark with his Diana camera and lastly is an ancient photo of Rob Knight skating the old quarterpipe that used to be at Dodge. (the quarter was made from the left over wood from the Sunsports skatepark in Whitehall that closed down in the mid 90's)
