Behind Patrick O’Dell’s 12 Favorite Photos | Epic stories from behind the scenes

Patrick O’dell has seen some of the coolest shit go down in skateboarding. His Epicly Later’d show detailed a lot of the history, but he saw a lot of it go down through his own viewfinder.

The Hundreds thought, “… it would be fitting to have him pick out his favorite skate photos that he’s shot over the years, and give the inside story on how they happened and why they are significant. Have a look at Patrick’s picks below, from shooting Chet Childress in a partially demolished pool, to Mark Gonzales iconic Fourstar ad (that wasn’t Mark’s first choice), to Jason Dill’s lipslide down a rail at the Brooklyn Banks that Dill got in an argument with Jamie Thomas over—these photos each have a unique story behind them.”
