The Metronome is a giant, functional metronome located overlooking the Vltava River and the city center of Prague. It was erected in 1991, and stands on the plinth left vacant by the destruction of an enormous monument to former Soviet leader Joseph Stalin (the monument was destroyed in 1962). The 75 foot-tall Metronome is now mostly a scenic vista and a meeting place for young people. It was designed by international artist Vratislav Novak.
The area behind the metronome is also a famous skatespot where skateboarders from Europe and around the world congregate and film throughout the year.

- Secret Long Beach inner city skate spot -
My journey began one afternoon. Driving in a not so great party of Long Beach I saw a kid walking with his skateboard. I decided to pullover and park because I noticed a cool looking couch that I wanted to shoot a photo of. Why not, I asked the kid where is favorite place to skate in the area was and here threw a glance and smile at me. He motioned for me to follow him and we soon began to walk a few blocks.
I followed closely behind him and he stopped in his tracks. I looked at him curiously. He soon raised his arm in a fluid motion and pointed at a hole in a fence. "Go through there and you'll find it". I chuckled and began to make some sort of excuse how I am too old and probably to big to fit through alittle hole like that. The kid shrugged his shoulders. I thought to myself, "shit, why not". Camera bag first, one leg second, the rest of my body third. From the other side of the fence I turned back and thanked him, he was already walking away. He blurted out as he left, "oh yeah, if the cops come, don't forget to run". My jaw dropped open.
I soon found myself walking a long distance towards the sound of skating, a disinguishable sound that is hard to not recognize as wood poundning against concrete. I soon found myself immersed amongst teenage boys and girls of all shapes and sizes. This is the ultimate street skate spot.
This is Kai, a stranger we had a little chat. He is skating for seven years. He showed me his skatespot.
Another good spot in Vilnus. Spotted this yard randomly after a day of spot-hunting with a young local. We definitely had different criteria for skatespots.
The bank is as steep as it looks, this ought to be impossible. But Wille Mäkelä did it several times and I was there to shoot it. This is a digi-polaroid from my D70, I couldn't nail the timing on film. RZ67's have a ton of shutter lag.
SB-28's on the left behind the trees, one 120J to my right for slight fill on the bank.
