Kyle Arnholt - SR Full Part

When I was a teenager I grew up riding Westerville skate park with Kyle Arnholt. He is only seventeen now, so at the time he was eleven. I realized this recently and was in awe at the fact that he was an actual child when I saw him do the impressive tricks back then. He was always good, just too young to take on trips. As I grew up I stopped riding Westerville skate park frequently. Whenever I came back he was still there, with more tricks. I started riding street with him and realized that he wasn’t just good at the skate park. A year ago Josh Smukal started filming him. It originally started out as an idea for a local Columbus video, but Josh wasn’t sure what it was going to be used for. Josh started showing me Kyle’s footage and Kyle started coming out on trips and sessions. This is when I decided that Kyle was severely lacking recognition for his talent. He had short videos he put out, but the production quality combined with ability of riding wasn’t there to have anyone notice him in the sea of good riders. Early on when Kyle was focusing on this part I knew that photo coverage would be important. I started shooting him on all the sessions. He is one of those riders that gets every trick he films within five tries. It almost seems too easy, as if he could do something better, but when you review the footage it is tricks that would take people hours. In hopes of having the scooter community to recognize one of the Midwest’s most under rated riders, I am proud to present Kyle Arnholt.
