#tbt: kerry getz - photosynthesis
Posted on Thursday, March 5, 2015 by Chris
It’s easy to imagine Kerry Getz as some tough guy ready to hand out a beat down for the slightest infraction. But just because he was passionate about achieving the highest of standards on the board (causing him to go ape after a toe drag or whatever and leading to his being nicknamed hockey temper) doesn’t mean he’s not a pleasantly mellow and rad dude. But that's only partly why we're glad to have his name on the Tampa Pro Winners list. He took his victory run back in 2000, and beyond the tricks he was doing, the sure footed-ness of his technique can hardly be matched to this day.
But back to the point already. Getz is another one who won Pro around the same time that he was turning out some of his most monumental video work, namely his part in Alien Workshop’s Photosynthesis. Kerry had other great stuff in Toy videos, and Feedback, etc., but come on, this was Alien in the Glory Days. And how about that half cab flip line at City Hall? These days Kerry doesn’t seem to be quite that mad, just mad legendary.
