I noticed that Troy Merkle was in town a few months ago and couldn’t resist the temptation of shooting photos with him. I packed up the car and drove south to the sandy streets of Atlantic City, NJ. Troy had done some scouting on a few skatespot websites and we ended up finding this gem in no time. Troy had no trouble lacing this feeble-to-hang-five-to-smith on this tight quarter tranny as the tourists walked by to the nearest roulette table.
