Photographer Tony Kelly captures the wild stunts of Arto Saari, Tony Alva, Brandon Biebel and Stevie Williams skating backyard pools in his Playboy Poolside photo shoot.
This group of skateboarders have revolutionized the urban sport by taking their tricks out of the skate park and venturing into yards, seeking out empty swimming pools. This accompanying video captures all of the cool moves and intense swagger while the men wear spiffy suits, stylish kicks and vibrantly reflective sun shades that give them an air of danger and mystery.
Like young James Bonds, these dapper gentlemen play by their own rules and still rock in pinstripes as they tear up the pavement skating backyard pools in Playboy Poolside.
