Throwaway Montizzle

Got it done before the park montage, whoops. Experience the Blake-led glory.

Delayedddd

Still waiting on two guys to get me some contributing park footage.... I had hoped for a weekend release but thankfully, I had to work instead for the first time in a while. Now that school's done for some of us, the filming is about to get heavy, and I've already started a street throwaway clip. I believe it's the first time in several years I've had two clips in progress at once. It helps when you find a song before you start, word to the wise. Check back this week, it's gonna be a long one.

Only 5 away from...

...100 posts! Ya Ya big deal. I started another blog, its called http://shred-on.blogspot.com/ it is seriously text heavy, no pictures yet and no real video links. If you are the type of person that just flips through the skate mag and looks only at the pictures, skipping all the interviews then don't even bother clicking. It's not a "deep" blog or anything, nothing mind blowing, just stupid things that you'd probably hear me or someone else say while watching a skate video or mumbling at the skatepark. If you hate the blog or think it's lame, awesome. Go make your own blog and talk about how lame it is, then link me to it so I can have something to laugh at.

Competition/Skate Jam Tomorrow

For those of you that didn't skate 8 or so years ago, Solomon was the first black skater that I had ever seen in Culpeper. Yesterday he put up some flyers announcing a little Skate Jam / Competition for tomorrow at 5. I think it's supposed to be best hip trick, best mini ramp line, and best run at the big side of the park. Might be some prizes and all that, who knows. If it doesn't rain everyone should definetly come out, should be good times all around. Maybe I'll actually do some filming haha.

30 Seconds of Trash

Throwaway from the Anti-Gravity montage. I don't know why the freeze frame has glitches in it, maybe it's just the computer I'm on.



Also I realized that the finger skate pictures weren't sized right this morning. Whoops. Should be fixed now.

Finger Skateboarding

Not too long ago, my mom thought she was being cute and sent me the anti-tech deck in the mail. I happened to be reading the back, and became intrigued by the 'tail grind'. Click the image below:


Aside from the gnarly act of sink blazing, I'm assuming a tail grind would be the act of stopping. Or perhaps theyre ahead of the curve and it's some new smith flip out type of fad. I just dont see why you would need to 'stop' a tech deck, since according to them youre supposed to hold it pinched between your fingers. Why not just lift your hand. They also reference another interesting trick, the stand-off, as seen right next to the confusingly illustrated hands in the wallride photo:



Whatever that is. Notice the stubby mini-fingers on the wallride. And since I'm still waiting for a decent idea to hit me for a legit update, contemplate this odd little saying from what I'm guessing is an overly-horny psychology author that I noticed in one my textbooks:



somebody's sense of humor sucks worse than mine.

check back early next week for some anti-gravity leftovers, and hopefully some kind of street throwaway segment.

Anti-Slackity

Been skating Anti-Gravity alot, skated and filmed with some chill guys and the tried and true Culpeper clan. Don't hate because its not 100% 540.
