Joker & Batman skate pic. Is this fake?

[jacquesknife]

Sorry if this is ABP but having an argument with someone who is convinced this is real....

[grimcity]

Of course it's real... just look at it.

[Blumpkinz]

Look at the scoop for that impossible. Proper wrap around the foot.  Heard Heath Ledger wanted Danny Way or Bam for his stunt double but they had to settle for Jason Ellis.

[jacquesknife]

I have done. Look at the size and position of the board..seems odd

[finknoos]

legit

[Hercules Rockefeller]

is that a tracker-sticker on the nose/tail?

ITS REAL

Heath Ledger Was A Skateboarder

How did you react when you heard Heath had died?
 I still think about how crazy it is that the dude is gone. I got a photo of him on the set of "The Dark Knight" trying to kickflip over Patrick Bateman or whatever the actor's name is that played Batman. I call him Patrick Bateman because he was Patrick Bateman in "American Psycho." It just seems crazy that someone larger than life getting taken out like that

no idea if the idea if that photo is legit. but when Heath was in calgary he came in and bought a set up from my shop, my manager at the time set it up. then there was a photo of him skating in some magazine or tabloid with the deck he got from us.

there it is, its real.^^

Is that when you became friends with the late Heath Ledger?
 Yeah, around that time. I didn't know who he was or anything like that. I just wandered into getting that part. I went up there with Austin Stephens and Josh Harmony one day and the director asked me to come back. I found out Heath was in the movie. But I didn't know anything about him. We met up at the beach one day and he came out of the water in a wetsuit with a surfboard and introduced himself. That worked for me. He seemed like a cool, normal dude.

Did he skate at all?
 Yeah, he grew up surfing and skating in Australia. I don't know if it was his exact passion but he definitely knew what he was doing on a board. He wasn't pushing mongo or anything like that. He could ollie and try some kickflips. Any time we were out skating he'd grab a board and jam with us.

I heard he was skating the pools with you.
 Oh yeah, for sure. He'd get in there and it didn't matter if his costume was flip-flops, he'd just be in wardrobe shredding the pool. He was down. He was just carving but he could definitely carve it better than any of the actors could do it. All the actors were pretty weak at it. They had no soul about it but you could tell Heath had a board growing up and he knew what he was up to. It made it a lot more believable.

ledger is regular. its fake or he is one one those fucked up stance guy

[nath.]

or he is one one those fucked up stance guy

thats my guess, my brother who does not skate, gets on my board and rolls reg but trys to do tricks goofy

[bumptobar]

Despite testimonial on behalf of a photog, im not buyin it.  Actors are required to sign a contract that doesnt allow them to do anything dangerous in nature over the course of shooting the film.  Jason Lee has mentioned it before.  And besides that you think its possible they'd have even a second of down time to horse around and try kickflips?  No fuckin' way.  Also you really think Christian "you-want-me-to-trash-your-fucking-lights" bale would lay down for some actor who can barely skate to attempt a kickflip over him?

Aside from this all, the photo looks completely fake.

What, you don't skate size 12"+ boards in boots while in full movie makeup which probably took a good 4-5 hours to apply?

he obviously came back from doing the big air and haven't had time to change his setup.

why did you shoop the board out?

[jacquesknife]

Awesome, thanks. I win that one. Now to go and take the piss out of my mate who believed it....

[kamltoe]

the whole thing about contracts depends on the production company and the contract negotiations. i mean, dude said he was skating every chance he got on the set of the dogtown movie, carving pools and shit. so it obviously wasn't in that contract. also, he said he got a pic of him trying the trick over the same dude, so if this one is fake, it still doesn't mean shit, cause he went back and got it. does anyone have that issue of skatebook?
