ID Prints extreme-sports action images are cause for any radical aesthete to rejoice. Their purchasable posters are "staccato-quality offset prints," or in other terms, they are crisp and clean. Produced using only first-rate materials and processes these posters offer both action and integrity that is hard to match.
As action sports have grown so has the demand for posters of these leading athletes. Taking photos of skating, surfing, and snowboarding takes a fearless photographer willing to put themselves in precarious situations under water, in the air, hanging off cliffs and across the globe to capture these images.
These prints and many more are available through ID Prints.

Jason Murray's photography is getting me stoked for winter. Raised on saltwater, skinned knees and a healthy appetite for exploration, he's been both witness and active participant in the evolution of the boarding universe. He covers a lot more surfing than snowboarding, but that's inspirational as well. Also be sure to check out Concussion, the SK8 mag Jason collaborates on....
Selecting Bill Owens' photographs from the infamous 1969 Altamont Speedway concert as the new graphics for skate-inspired label Altamont may seem an obvious choice, but the connection runs deeper than a shared name. The Altamont credo, "Find a job you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life," embodies not just how the brand feels about designing clothing, but also...
