Nike Debacle Video

This video is really good.  The colors are perfect, the filming is perfect, the spots are sick, the intro glass breaking skis are pretty funny. We should expect nothing less from a huge evil corporation.  I still hate Nike.  Watch it for free, don’t support them.Daryl Angel’s part. Maybe the only part I’m not that impressed by. Sorry dude.David Clark. Ripper.Shane O’neill and Theotis Beasley. O’neill murders it.Justin Brock is a ripper. The Real video is going to be insane.I’m putting Grant Taylor’s part last because it’s my favorite part in the video.

skate journal: filmy and commerce city with Jeff and Jack (June 30)

Posted in Skate Journal on July 1st, 2009 by corpo

So it’s finally summer in CO.  Hot dry days and warm nights.  After work Little Jack and I rolled to Denver and met up with Jeff.  We drove around for awhile trying to find a rail, but ended at a fun alley bump spot.  We didn’t stay long.  I got a couple ollies and was thinking it would be fun to kickflip, but we split to the rail we were trying to find earlier.  I filmed Jack do a back 50 and then we got booted.  Next we ended at a fun wallride spot that Jeff almost landed a front wallride on before we got booted by some dude.  Last we ended up at a crazy wallie spot that Jack wallied and Jeff got his back with a wallride.  Rad.Jack and I hit Commerce City on the way back.  We messed around on the planter for awhile then skated around.  There were lots of dudes trying flyouts so skating the ledges kinda sucked.  I settled into trying a run near the entrance of a no comply to tail, manual, cali grind.  I got it once with a scrape on the manual and the no comply to tail was kinda whack too.  Oh well.  Jack and I went to play flatground SKATE, but there was some dude bumming us out so bad.  He was swearing at the top of his lungs, throwing his board, demanding everyone’s attention and letting us all know he wasn’t having a great day.  Ahhh.  Then the lights shut off.  They were filming too.  At that point the dude said to the filmer, “You better erase every one of my tricks or I’ll break that tape.”  Classic.
