the Charlotteskate video

11 days left

2007-09-20T12:22:00.000-07:00

11 days left til we are supposed to be completely done filming. for real. if it sucks really bad we're putting it online and never looking back, if it sucks only a little bit we might have a little premiere, make a few dvds and sell em for 5 bucks. heres some random junk from the past few days that we wasted our time filming. sweet glitch!

tape 36

2007-09-04T20:43:00.000-07:00

Hopefully not too many more to go, tapes are expensive. It sucks that this is the only footage on the entire tape worth capturing...but as John says, "you win some, you lose some". we fucking lost.

end of august update

2007-08-26T17:29:00.001-07:00

Heres a little clip of Danny messing around the other night.

ATL

2007-08-14T18:32:00.000-07:00

We went to Atlanta to film for a few days, John and Danny both ended up getting a few tricks on film. Drew is getting married in Canada this week and Zack is hurt. Look for information on an October premiere in the next couple weeks, and a new/final promo for the video around then too. Heres some random stuff from Atlanta at a pretty sick spot.

August

2007-08-05T11:37:00.000-07:00

So this is supposed to be the last month of filming. Everybody is close to finishing their parts and we're out skating every day trying to make sure we have a solid video. In the end we're shooting for 20 minutes, with 5 full parts. I'll try to keep posting throw away footage on here and have the new site up soon. Here's Zack warming up with a switch manual.

what the hell?

2007-07-19T12:30:00.000-07:00

Sorry I havent updated in a few days...We've been out filming and skating and working hard on the video. Hopefully things will come together and we can have it ready by the end of August. For now check out Zack falling yesterday.

now its july

2007-07-01T21:03:00.000-07:00

Hmm first week of July has been going pretty good. Everybody has been getting some footage. Zack got a couple things today, not including this trick:

filming!

2007-06-30T19:01:00.000-07:00

The past couple weeks have been pretty productive, the perfect plan of skating then swimming and then skating more if its not raining yet. We went out today and John got this long ollie warming up. Videos coming along good.

video is still in progress

2007-06-27T20:16:00.000-07:00

I posted a promo on the main page of the site...we're still working hard to get the video done by August. Here's some extra stuff that wont be in the video.

something

2007-06-07T19:24:00.000-07:00

In this clip: Danny really wasn't trying this trick...I guess it's just what he does when he messes up.

Some extra footage

2007-05-26T21:33:00.000-07:00

I'm working on a promo for the video...should be done very soon.
In this clip: Some "throw away" footage from this week of Drew and Zack.

we're back?

2007-05-21T21:30:00.000-07:00

Still making a video...for real. It will be done in July. Get stoked on parts from Drew Fraser, John Lyden, Zack Whyel, Danny Devlin, and a bunch of our friends...or 2 or 3 at least. If this is the last thing you ever hear from me, thats because we didnt make a video.
In this clip: Drew warming up. Thanks to Jesse for filming with my camera for a few minutes.

Spring time finally

2007-03-06T13:22:00.000-08:00

Still working on the video...Winter sucked and we havent tried to film as much lately. Look for something pretty soon about the video, I think I figured out what I want to do with it, who's in it, and when we're going to be done.
In this clip: Here's a clip of Zack Whyel hitting his shin really hard.

2 months later...

2007-02-04T14:51:00.000-08:00

I didnt feel like posting anything, whoops. Kings of the Queen city was fun, we got a lot of footage during those 5 days so be sure to check it out whenever Blacksheep premieres or has that video in the next month or so. We're still working on something, its just cold.
In this clip: Heres some footage of people warming up, falling, or neither. I dont think I've used it before.

...video coming soon

2006-12-04T15:18:00.000-08:00

Not too much going on lately...Drews a machine though. The videos still coming along pretty good. I know for sure it will at least have 1 part in it. Winter sucks.
In this clip: Warm up footage from Saturday night.

Just a small update.

2006-11-15T20:00:00.000-08:00

Went out filming again for most of the weekend...came back with a couple things. After the Thanksgiving break I should have enough stuff to finish up a longer promo for the video. Keep checking back in for more info on the video here.
In This Clip: OJ isnt having a full part in the video, but expect to see a few tricks from him in there when its finished. Here's a nose manual he filmed warming up a few weeks ago downtown.

THE LEAVES ARE CHANGING, TIME TO GET ARTSY

2006-11-06T20:19:00.000-08:00

Went skating this weekend a lot, but forgot about making a video until the last few minutes of daylight on Sunday...and even then, I skated. Props to Jesse for filming when I wanna skate. I warmed up to try to get something on film but I never make it past the switch 180. John and Danny went to war though and both had something on film when we were done at the end of the day.
In This Clip: Me skating, Jesse with the filming.

Here comes Winter...

2006-10-29T14:21:00.000-08:00

Colder weather and daylight savings time sucks for skateboarding.
In this clip: I forgot my filming board and the time of day sucked for filming...Danny Devlin at the "Rock Wall gap"

Robbery

2006-10-23T18:59:00.000-07:00

Long weekend of filming. I posted a short teaser for the video on the main Charlotteskate page, so be sure to check that out if you haven't already.
In this clip: Zack gets robbed.

Fall

2006-10-10T21:52:00.000-07:00

We've been filming some more, just trying to work on the video. Things are coming together nicely, and the weather is perfect for a few more weeks. Keep checking back, I'll try to update more often..maybe.
In this clip: some throw-away footage of Danny.

Footage and stuff

2006-09-29T23:30:00.000-07:00

Just got in from a really fun day...I cant skate, because I sprained my foot, but Danny, Drew and Zack all got some tricks on film. Hopefully things keep going like this. I'll post some throw-away stuff up from the weekend on Sunday or Monday.

Weekend update

2006-09-22T15:13:00.000-07:00

Check the main page if you haven't already, Danny and friends made another promo for their video. Its pretty cool. Go skate if you're foot isnt sprained! I'm working on a promo for the video, for real this time.
In this clip: Footage from day 1 with the VX2100, back in like March.

In this clip: John warms up with a switch ollie.

Its been a while

2006-09-10T16:06:00.001-07:00

Alright, this is the last time I go 2 weeks without an update. This weekend was a really fun one. The Eyes like Static premiere at Blacksheep went really well, props to those guys on a sick video. We went out filming a lot, John and Zack both got a couple tricks that they'd been wanting to do for a while. I'll start posting random clips every few days or something.

In this clip:
-Not only do we have to deal with security and cars at this spot, apparently dogs dont like skateboarding either.
