Skateboarding Legends Create a Fiery Hot Magazine Cover

For the December 2015 issue of The Skateboard Mag, skateboarding legends Steve Olson and Lance Mountain decided to pay homage to an old photo of fellow enthusiasts, but with a red hot twist.

Likening the original shot of Steve Alba and Scott Dunlap to a World War I dogfight, skateboarding legends Lance Mountain and Steve Olson dressed up in military uniforms from that period, with a backdrop that reflected the moment in history. Taking things up a notch, fire was added to the background while the skateboarders performed their tricks.

It sounds perilous, but these are skateboarders we’re talking about. Check out the full behind-the-scenes video of The Skateboard Mag cover shoot here:
