BCSD 2010

March 2nd, 2010

The best contest I had ever been to was BCSD08.. BCSD10 happened this past weekend and shattered everything I thought I knew.

The homies at BCSD10 timed to anything but bitter and cold.

Shred Til You’re Alive

March 2nd, 2010

We were in Barcelona one night, at a sweet ass hotel btw(thanksJJ) and me Bailey and Bsmith we’re talking about how sick it would be to make a park video along the coast of Oregon due to the fact that the parks out there are ridiculous. We got really excited over the idea and a few months later set off on our journey. Not before calling up a couple homies though ,AKA Chris Haffey, Jeff Stockwell, Victor Arias, Erik Bailey, Brandon Smith, and myself to push record. 6 months later. It’s all said and done and what a ridiculously amazing tour it was. I cant say enough good things about it.. and not just because I made it. So here you go, Shred Til You’re Dead, or die and become born again.

time flies when you’re having fun

March 2nd, 2010

Damn….. where does the time go. Its been months since I have updated my own blog.. I got a chance to work on the 4th valo team video and things kind of just took off from there. I am still filming for 4Life, we have been doing tours everywhere. I’ve been to places I could never imagine I would be thanks to all this. It’s crazy to think over the past few months not knowing where the time went but definately knowing I have had an amazing time. The best part is, there is more to come. Here is the last couple months with the Valo cuts documented with my handycam, hours of enjoyment

so I know its been a while since a legit post but I have good reason. I have been out on the field scouting new equipment and gathering enough funds to be able to rent this amazing new piece of gear that was recently released for complex cinema scenes. Introducing, yet again, the Iphone3Gs. Thats right, move over RED, 5DmII, BLUE and anything else that plans on coming out. Not only is this a high quality cinematic camera, but also allows for texting and the most popular app of all, Ifart
If you thought multitasking was reaching its outer limits of achievability, think again as we shatter the boundaries of capabilities that we once thought were possible.
Here we see the Iphone3Gs in its full flight recording some of the hottest action to date

and of course filmed with the best stabilization kit money could buy
