Tim O'Connor On The East Coast

December 31, 2005 | Skip To The Comments (2)

One of the things that makes skateboarding different on the East than the West is the lack of pros on the scene. So when someone like Tim O'Connor actually resides there and shows up at a skatepark the kids are stoked and even a little timid.

After a few hours of sessioning indoors to escape the cold, we sat down to relax and a group of five or so kids took the opportunity to ask Tim some questions about their favorite pros, how he got to where he is and get their shoes and iPods signed. Tim gladly took the time for all of it. I'm pretty dumb for forgetting my camera and not getting any skate footage, but I snapped a few cameraphone photos.
