Colin McKay - Rediscovered

By Sandro Grison Launch Fullscreen Feature

We were digging around a box of old photos when we came across a lost roll of film circa 2001 that Ryan Smith had shot on one of his first trips to California. He’d been at the Megaramp the day Colin Mckay was shooting the nollie flip into the roll-in that ended up making the cover of Transworld. When he got back to Canada, Ryan gave his roll of film to Kyle Shura, who “tucked it away” and never thought of it again.

Colin McKay - Rediscovered

By: Sandro Grison - Posted on: 11/09/2012

We were digging around a box of old photos when we came across a lost roll of film circa 2001 that Ryan Smith had shot on one of his first trips to California. He’d been at the Megaramp the day Colin Mckay was shooting the nollie flip into the roll-in that ended up making the cover of Transworld. When he got back to Canada, Ryan gave his roll of film to Kyle Shura, who “tucked it away” and never thought of it again. To this day, Colin continues to be a tastemaker as one of the driving forces behind Plan B and Hellaclips—likely the web’s most popular skate video site, drawing thousands to its homepage each day. In the new issue (on sale now) Colin reminisces about some of his best times as well as what’s next on the icon’s radar. Here is an insiders glimpse behind the scenes of that epic day in mega-ramp history.
