ON THE COVER
RANDALL HARRIS
By Spencer Smith Welcome & thanks for reading the “Spencer Smith� Photo Issue of Wake Journal. Randall & I worked on this cover exclusively for this issue. This cover took place during the Rockstar Team trip to the Colorado River just south of Lake Havasu last March. Like most shoots, we had to work with a couple challenging variables to get this shot. First and foremost was the weather. Gusting winds had been present for most of our trip making it nearly impossible to find smooth water. The Colorado River constantly moves with a relatively strong current. This made it hard for me to sit in one place to get a photo with the same, consistent background. After working around these variables we finally found a nice area on the southern part of the river where the currents were calm. The sunset was shaping up to be absolutely incredible. At the very last minute of the day, I decided to shoot

a back lit photo for the cover. When Randall did his business

stomping this roll-to-blind against the setting sun, I knew we got what we wanted. Thanks to Ricky G for helping drive through the chaos. Now, go get your eye candy on with Wake

LAKE MINNEHAHA, FL
“When setting up for this trick, I like to ride into the
of the double up, grab your board mute. Lock in
second roller of the double up. Once you hit the top
your grab, then let go of the handle.

Don’t throw it… just let go. As you’re spinning,
you come around to 5, nine times out of ten,
keep your head turned towards the spin and when
the handle will be there.” —Rusty Malinoski GET THE APP
