Where else could you shoot it from? I’m guessing that the bushes would obscure the rail/trick if shot from the other side. Obvs it’s a cover worthy stunt, so it needs to be shot portrait.
Front crooks/noseslides on rails always look cool shot from the top of the stairs, this shot is so wicked:

That looks 1000% gnarlier than the Foy el toro photo

Just had a moment thinking ‘yeah, I remember that cover’ then look at the date of the issue and its nearly 27 years ago…

Classic head-on so you could see it was a crook would be the obvious choice. I’m a big fan of fs crooks shot from behind, so you can see the pinch obvs

I remember buying that issue in my teens and line drawing (copying) the cover with a pencil cos i thought the way it was framed was so cool.
That all white fit is gnarly too!

YUP Foy cover should have been shot from above and behind. Maybe Atiba is just a bit lazy.
That’s certainly a legends only look, the likes of Kirchart and Penny spring to mind.
I wonder if that was Alf’s or the photographers choice for the pic.
Yes he did
How does this work again now?
I’ll try fixing it if I get a chance
But I probably won’t get a chance for 2 or 3 weeks, slammed with childcare duties at the moment

I have no idea who anyone is either. My mate used to take the piss because I knew who everyone rode for too.
