Hard Day At The Office Today

Well decided to try and shoot some video with the t2i today for the first time. came out prety decent i think for first time with it. so awkward to film with tho i must say and you look kinda stupid but i dig the footy. this is also the first installment of the clip of the day series with music in it.

edit: just hit a 1000 views. thanks for following the blog guys.

4 in a row

fairly straight forward. all 4 tres. in a row.

Underground Minitage

Well since the IGA underground is a bust now we have since found a new underground to skate. not quite as nice but overall still a very nice parkade to skate. We just filmed some hilarious fun flat ground tricks and one tony hawk pro skater trick.

Just because

Well it's been raining a lot lately and sunny days to skate and film are few and far between and it's gotten me thinking about winter a lot. As most of you probably know i ride for Nomis and Stepchild and just film skating all summer, with that said here is my footage from last year. Just a lot of fun park stuff. nothing overly serious. enjoy

3 for 1 sundays

Made a quick stop at the skate plaza yesterday on the way to the streets to huck some stairs. Here's Gil with a few tricks on the hubba.

First try... Saturday?

Well this was supposed to go up yesterday but i kinda forgot to put it up. Filmed it last friday and by time this friday came around it slipped my mind. oh well. JJ back feeble 6 rail first try.

When life gives you lemons. Lay a sign down.

here is a clip from the barrier sesh the other day.

Don't Swear Kids!

Well yesterday we hit two spots. All in the northvan region. one was a sick little barrier spot. well. what would have been sick if not for someone running into it and messing up the concrete job. good old street signs came through tho. here's gilly with a backside wallie to donut chomp. For the COD if you can believe it that guy chased gil down and shouted at him for cussing and there was no kick out as the result. Go figure hey.

Film Sideways

Tried out a new fading technique haha don't really like it too much but it was worth a try. I also went downtown to take some photos of sorts. nothing too serious just some fun stuff. here's one of the photos to check

Justins COD

This line took quite some time to get but in the end turned out quite well. Logged about 7 COD's yesterday so if it rains for a while we still got some content. Most of the clips are bro cammed and here is a photo to prove thus. Joey gettin rad with a front smith and Justin following close behind.

Mack Dog

The lonsdale local rail killer. comes at you with a smith to frontboard.

Pole Dance

After months of convincing Gil has started to get on his ledge and rail combo game. Pretty nuts to watch. here's a front smith to front feeble only a day after he learned it on the gold rail going negative two. stepping it up hardcore with this one. Now all we gotta do is find a suitable street rail.

Big Ten

Yesterday at lonsdale the locals decided to huck themselves down the big ten stair. Which is by no means a small ten. it's probably atl east a 12 of a normal street set. JJ threw down a back feeble on the handrail and I convinced Justin to re-do his backside crooks on the hubba ledge for me, and also for a ride to Gilberts house, which he never got since he just decided to show up haha but good work on his part none the less. here is a photo shot of the back feeble and a stick but no land on the back crooks.

River Dance

Well since I didn't get out filming and skating yesterday this is what i got for a clip of the day.

Beauty and the Beast

Well by now a few of you are probably wondering what I'm filming these videos with. So here are my babies. The FX1 unfortunately isn't as babied as it should be. Lens hits are o plenty. I guess that's the price for getting up close. If I ever can find the clips I'll throw a lens hit montage up here. But for now here's the FX1 MK1 Intermediate and the Canon t2i

and here is one summers worth of tapes. still lots more to come guys so keep checking back!

 












and i still have more today! One more clip of the day and a photo from the lonsdale park.

Hot Spot Redemption

We went back to hotspot yesterday to get a couple tricks. To my surprise everyone ended up getting their tricks and I even ended up getting one as well (which is today's COD) Joey took a tumble a and a half near the end of the session tho which kinda sucks. Overall such a fun sesh. Can't wait to skate there again. Check back demain to see what we got up to today. I've also included some photos in this post. First skate photos with my new camera. I'll show you some light into that tomorrow aswell.

Gilbert Shreds Bowl

As few of you may know gilbert is actually good at skating tranny. he is not just a huck. here is a cod to prove thus.

Just another COD

well here is one of the throwaway lines from the Georgia banks. just something fun nothing serious. and also thanks to my man pj ladd for taking corey kennedy down.

Rained Out

As summer is coming to a close clips are harder and harder to get but Gil still manages to throw down the best lines at Lonsdale. Check it.

Gambling with other peoples money

Well yesterday me and Gilbert once again headed downtown to try and get some clips. The plan was to sesh the Georgia 8 set and get a trick down it. Before Gil was ready to send his life down the 8 set he wanted to warm up on the banks so I said sure and chilled out by the fountain. To my surprise I found a pair of 8.5 vans submerged in the fountain. 

Quickly fished em out and bingo gils got new shoes. We never even ended up shooting the 8 stair haha ended up just having a fun lil skate sesh on the banks instead. Got the boot from there and on the way from there to our next spot we found a lottery ticket on the sidewalk! How lucky can a guy get in one day. view todays COD for the result. When we finally got to the spot warmed up and were getting down to business a wedding showed up and parked it’s fancy limo right in the way.

So that killed it right there. Ah well. We’ll head on back tomorrow and finish business.

COD3

well it's not quite midnight yet so i guess you guys get two posts in one day. Gilbert knocks out a line at lonsdale. i think we have pretty much tapped this park dry for tricks to be done. we really need to go somewhere else. but that's all for today, and tomorrow. I'm beat so it's off to bed.

COD2

Two days in a row I'm coming at you with a clip of the day. Made some titles last night in AE right quick. Could use a little work but that's what I got for now. enjoy

clip of the day (COD)

These clip of the day videos will be posted up at random. These are unusable clips, warmups, park clips or just overall fun clips. They are unedited and uncut. They will be short, but sweet. So sit back and enjoy todays COD. Julian comes at you with a sick line at lonsdale.

flood season

Well it's about that time of year again. Fall in Vancouver well i guess also winter, brings a lot of rain to this city. Impeding the skateboarding and the filming of such. so until mother nature decides to back off for a minute new content will be a little more scarce but we'll do our best over here to get some new footy and interesting stories going for you guys. since there wont be any new fun and exciting content today i'll just leave with you one of my favorite montages from the summer. Day trip out to twassen. got there and it started raining. ducked out for 15 mins and got perfert bluebird filming weather. gotta love the Vancity weather.

not so hot spot

downtown sesh yesterday. started out at newspot. set-up a bench on some steps handrail style with a stair set right after. pretty sick lil line spot. after gettin a few lines the boys had to get burgin so hit up the mcdonalds. onward to hotspot where gil was battling the 5-0 flip again. landed on a few but none he was stoked on. ah well we'll get er next time!

Downtown van

went downtown today skating and shooting. nothing much doing but hit up the candy store on the way back. best shop on robson despite what most girls will have you believe. here's some photos from it.
