I've been holding back a lot of footage for a nice long montage, but the wait is over.
It's got some new spots, some crust, spots behind "Do Not Cross" fences, spots after getting hyped on the Space Jam album, and it even has long time homie Justin Reynolds. It's been a fun spring break.
Don't ask.
So I went to Sessions Skatepark with Sam last night.
Got some neat footage.
I might have gone a little overboard with the editing...
At least for a few days. Now it's snowing. Ohio weather is bipolar.... haha.
Er, anyway... I did manage to get a few tricks while it was warm at the plaza. Remember that place?
Does anyone else hate The Cellar?
I guess it's cool if you have eight extra dollars laying around and like thirteen year old girls. Primarily slutty ones to boot.
But we managed to get some pretty decent footage out of that place. The filming sucks, but it was crowded (like always), so there's my excuse.
I hope everyone had a good Valentine's Day.
Here's a little video that has some footage that didn't make it into the One Love promo video, filmed by me and the one and only Brandon "Crum" Kiser.
And Lurkface has its first montage up, so peep it!
Well it's been quite awhile since I could post this footage I've been sitting on.
It's cold outside, I've been busy in Cincinnati, and I don't have access to all the stuff to update the site.
That, mixed with some pretty bad filming and a few audio problems on my VX1000, I'd say the song choice for this little video is pretty appropriate for me and probably a lot of you.
So, enjoy.
And you guys really need to look at Russell's new site, Lurkface. It's got lots of good stuff for you, like this video of Matt Polen.
And a remix of some of the One Love teaser is on youtube, so check that out!
Lastly, I fixed some of the broken links in the videos pages, so go ahead and watch some of those old videos!
As you can see, I changed the site up a bit.
Hopefully this is a little bit more aesthetically pleasing.
Let me know what you think.
And I wanna give props to the fine folks at Skate The Megapolis. Show Ohio some love.
Yeah I know... who cares about indoor park footy?
You should, cuz this is some good stuff.
Plus, in Ohio, when it's cold, it's REALLY cold!
Also, thanks to my friend Alan for making this update possible.
I thought I would have skated/filmed today, but thanks to rain I didn't get to.
So here's some footage that was supposed to go into a montage.
It's also the last thing I filmed in 2007.
And if you haven't seen the movie this video's song is from, then you have been missing out.
So long, 2007.
I got some footage of ripper Sam Gates skating in Cincinnati, filmed by Chris Joecken.
Tonight is the One Love promo video premiere, so you should try to make it if you can.
If not at least swing by One Love early in 2008 and go pick up a copy.
More footage coming soon...
Finally, I have some footage.
Not only that, but Santa gave me a fancy new generator for Christmas, so I got to test it out tonight!
I could write a novel of excuses as to why there isn't many updates, but i'll simply say "weather".
In any case, it's the holiday season. Happy Whatever-You-Celebrate-If-Anything.
There's a Chi town video that looks very good, I just took the time to order it as a Christmas gift to myself.
Hopefully I will have some footage up soon...
It has been awhile since I could update...
Anyone living in Ohio knows that the weather isn't exactly getting good, so who knows how long we'll even be able to get some gnar outdoor footage.
But in good news, I had the privilege to wake up at 7 in the morning to go out and have some fun with Eric and a super secret skater. Can you guess who it is?
Now he's back in Cali where it isn't necessary to skate just to be warm.
Did some shred-sledding today. Got some footage, but all of it is going to go in the One Love video, so you guys are left with these scraps.
You guys know what Monday is, right?
Anyway, I skated with Sam Gates and Josh today.
Also, I think I'm gonna change this ugly layout soon...
Happy Birthday, Eric.
Here's some stuff we got on Eric's birthday weekend.
(By the way, Eric has probably never been called "Burnsie" in his whole life.)
In case you didn't know, Joe Hook is finally on the Element site.
Everyone write a letter, email, smoke signal, or make a phone call to Element saying you want a Joe Hook part in the next Element video.
Yep. I've put Gem Class on the internet tubes.
Look up at the top of the page to go to the parts. That's right, not only can you watch the video in its entirety, you can watch any part you want at your leisure. I even put the embedded Youtube videos up, but why would you want to watch those?
I hope you guys enjoyed it, and thanks again to anyone who bought it. Which reminds me, it's still for sale and it has TONS of bonus stuff that you can only get on the DVD version, so it's still worth the buy. Let me know if you want to buy a copy, the price has gone down to $5.
Also, the AWS video is going to be AMAZING!
Middletown homie Bobby Cole just gave me an EPIC video from the Baker Bowl, featuring Jaybo, Payton Caudill, Bob Cole, Kyle Pratt, Joseph Lopez, Dave Ackels, Anthony Sullivan, Gnar Chris, and Matt Roach. Warning: plan a trip to Middletown before you watch this video, cuz it's gonna make you want to have fun at the Baker Bowl.
Also, Eric decided to build a bomb and destroy the 4 stair rail at the Plaza yesterday.
Anyone who went to the One Love Best Trick Contest at the Plaza last Sunday knows that hammers were thrown down!
It was really fun, all the local heads were there (even Evan showed up and won the game of SKATE). Sorry it took so long to put up, but as promised here's the video of the seven/double set best trick.
Skate Plaza. It should be nothing short of amazing.
I'm gonna be filming, though I probably won't be able to make an edit til next weekend. Sorry.
But you should go there and witness it in person so you won't have to wait around for a video from me.
Lots of news this week...
First off, one of the coolest dudes who you have probably seen at the Plaza every single day, Fritz, left us this week to head off to basic training. Good luck, man.
Secondly, Digital Skate Tilt just dropped Issue 1, featuring some of the Dayton heads, so you should definitely watch all the rippers rip.
Thirdly, the same site dropped another video called Unseenful Thoughts. Peep it.
Fourthly, GO TO THE PLAZA TOMORROW AT 4! There's gonna be a best trick contest, and I'm sure it's going to be amazing.
And lastly, are you excited about Halloween? If not, I figure a Friday the 13th (almost) video should be a good reason for you to get HYPED!
I actually have a video post!
