If you have any chance to get one of those last issue of Color (canada), you could see that crazy picture of Jessy Jean Bart.

Another underrated skaters from Montréal, he’s sick on a board as he’s the sweetest dude i ever met.

Jessy is also one of my photo lab rat, with whom i’ve tried different ideas from my head.

That day when i took that picture of  this 50-50 of the death, i remember Jessy called me for shoot a trick he filmed few days earlier, then on the spot, a car was parked right on the run up.

As for back up plan, we’ve just decided to explore around, after some kicked-out, we end up on that bridge in Rosemont.

Then Jessy got excited “ohhhh i might have an idea, it’s been years i thought about that trick” without understanding what he meant, i just follwed him blindly
we’ve builded a cheap kicker with some rocks found around and a plywood generously given by a wood factory close of the spot. It’s just at the first attempt i’ve realized how that day could goes as sweet as really sketchy.
Jessy was going to try in first a FiveO, but i smartly tell to start by a tricks with the 2 trucks on..it would be easier to get away if something got wrong..

I think he tried a dozen of try before landing that 50-50, i remember my heart was beating really fast at each try..

That shot was so far the most risky and impressive i did till now..it was really intense, completely random and thanks it finished like a happy end.

All my props to Jessy, you really well deserved that print!
