** originally posted this interview a few months ago but there were issues with the formatting of the photos/text so I took it down. I also thought it was a good time to repost it as Scott has been quietly going through some health issues. If you would like to find out more information please go to the link below. http://www.gofundme.com/x3kc92t4 I recently had the chance to touch base with the man behind many iconic skateboarding images. Former Thrasher Magazine staff photographer, skate, snowboard, and freestyle frisbee enthusiast, and all around nice guy, Scott Starr.  (All photos and captions by Scott) Danny Way, not liking his run at a Powell Zone contest and taking it out on his board. Mid '90's I forget the year right now.  How did you get into skate/action sports photography?    Well I was always an artist and in High School designed the Yearbook covers and backdrops for plays and dances, I was always very creative. So when I ...

Hello.. Previously a staple of  skateboarding magazine, similar to the infamous "slam section", the how to or trick tip is a rare find these days. Perhaps that's because most of the time they were completely useless and were more funny than actually helpful and would often follow a format of..."flip your board, land, ride away stoked". Eric Dressen with a stylish wallride variation..  Rick Howard. Probably never done before or since one foot 5-0 to fakie..  Interesting story about this one..

Starting it off is one of the first Pro Model skate shoes ever and some early Etnies ads. I threw in some random Natas ads...just because..   If you're into the whole Instagram thing, you can follow this guy at #oscarputdowntheknife Unless you were there you can't imagine the rumors and BS surrounding this guy's name. In other news...super excited to be heading to Spain (Barcelona) then the U.K. in a couple months. Any recommendations/suggestions? Next post will longer..

Eric Dressen... if I'm not mistaken, the inventor of the Salad Grind. Just put two and two together this morning regarding the name(Salad...Dressen). Not quite a week of Santa Cruz stuff, but I still got a couple more in store. By the way.. although I do this just because I enjoy it, if you like (or don't like) something that you see on here a plus one or occasional comment would definitely be appreciated. Any and all feedback is welcome. If you'd rather send an email, oledirtygiblet@gmail.com Thanks.
