Quick Update

Had a good couple weekends here lately. Garrett and I went out looking for a spot to go tubing/a good swimming hole and found a pretty good one, rope swing and all:

We'll definitely be hitting that thing up in the near future, it was a blast.

Homie, Stefan Brandow came and skated in Greenville with us this weekend and we had an awesome and productive bunch of skating. I didn't shoot much else photowise but I managed this decent snap of him boosting off of a new spot we found recently:

We also rapped about a really cool idea for next year that could wind up being something really cool, so we'll see how that goes.

All in all, it was a good couple of past weeks with a grip of filming, I'm really trying to have this video done by the new year so I've been really busy filming and getting ideas together of how I want to accomplish this thing.

In the meanwhile I also want to get the blade book vol. 2 finished up so I've got a lot of work to do in the coming months.

See you dudes next weekend.

New Video Announcement

Before I get to the news, I have a couple radical photos to share.

I got to skate with Arsenio last weekend and man did he lace, I think I logged about 30 clips. He is definitely one of the easiest people to shoot with, he has an entire arsenal of tricks at his disposal and can unleash them on request...its quite a thing to see.

I also got to skate with homie Nick Bates that has also been very on point lately, Nick and I have been collecting a lot of footage and it's all very exciting. This isn't my favorite photo I've ever shot but the spot was weird with the bush and it was a cool trick:

As of May 20, 2011 I started filming for my 3rd video installment. Up until now, a lot of friends I wanted involved in the project have been hurt and I've just been waiting on their recovery to begin another video, that and after SOMO I deinfinitely needed a break. And a lot of details are up in the air about it but its definitely started and I'm pretty excited about it.

Filming for SOMO was some of the best times in my life, and while I know that I can't recreate any of that, I have pretty high expectations for this video as well. I definitely plan on spending a lot of time out of town and in new places I haven't been so I can meet and film a lot of new interesting people. So fill up your gas tanks and grab das beers, because travelin' time is now. I'll see you guys soon.

Long time no posts...

I have been so incredibly busy but on a good note, my studio/office is up and running (aside from new furniture hahaha) so updates should get back to regular here soon. check it out:

Now having that said, the past couple weekends have involved a lot of rollerblading as well, between the attending the Pow Wow, Mr. Dustin Hinson visiting, Mike Torres (Roc City) visiting, helping friends get footage and getting back into the swing of getting clips and filming regularly myself, I've got a couple cool things to show you guys. Firstly, here are a bunch of random pictures from all of that:

These past couple weeks have been absolutely outrageous. I honestly don't think I can begin to tell all the stories I have to tell in one post, and honestly I'm extremely tired. But I can say that I've been having a blast, and there has been a lot of crazy blading going on this entire time. As to not bore you, here are a couple pics.

The weekend I started moving into my new apartment, The Trevors and myself made a quick ninja spot check whilst filming for the project we've been working on together. Jeremy kind of surprised me with this rather dangerous trick, not my best photo but I think you can gauge the difficulty of this trick thru the photo:

A couple weeks later, Garrett and I rolled out to the Pow Wow with long time homie Mike Torres, and had an absolute blast, it was one of the best blade trips i've ever been on...aside from the terrible redneck suburn that is. hahaha, getting to skate Kona was kind of surreal, I'd always heard about it and seen it in videos but until I got there, I didn't realize how awesome it all really was, just to be skating that park.

One night, randomly, I had a really sick session with Arsenio Patterson and the dude is on his game more than ever, he asked me to help him film for his friend's video, and we got a lot of that done but we did manage this pretty clean picture:

The next day, Nick and I got this pretty decent shot of him doing a trick he never does, Nick has definitely been on a mission lately so definitely stay tuned for more from this guy:

That's about it for an update. Unfortunately the edit I hoped to have done is coming along a little slower than planned but I'm still kicking some ideas around so there should be some new video popping up on the blog soon.

Once again, for the first time in a long time, I have way more projects on my plate than I have time to finish. I do have a list though, and I'm getting myself in place to check it all off very soon hopefully.

Also, if you ever visit Florida and stop at the visitors/welcome center, check out this rest stop it has an awesome line of icy ledges to skate.

See you next weekend.
