muscle museum edit.

i put together a quick edit with some footage from verona skatepark, filmed by jared hochmuth. i messed around with some color mods.

alumni boardshop's threepeat

alumni boardshop on university avenue just finished up their third shop video, it is the last video they will do for quite some time. they uploaded the whole video to vimeo for the public to see.
check it out, it's pretty sick.

NEW PARK!

my buddy brandt and i got inspired the other day to design a few park layouts, because if we ever get the funds and space we think it'd be awesome to run a local park. here's our first ever skatepark design. sadly this particular design will probably never become a reality, but i'm really psyched about how well it turned out.
we'll have more ideas and hopefully one day we'll get to build our own park.
hope you enjoy.

viva la nick mullins

if you haven't caught on by now, nick mullins is my hero. i was checking out his filmer steve staffen and i managed to stumble upon his vimeo account, there's a lot of edits of nick, but i found this to be by far the most ridiculous. it is one of the oldest edits on steve's account and yet it is still beyond ridiculous.
if you're still wondering whether it's worth the few minutes of your time let me leave you with a few words...

nike drops the vunk!

i'm a bit of a nike fan, mostly due to their simple approach to skate shoes. they keep their selection of shoes steady, but always fresh with several new color waves each month. however my one problem with them has been their lack of vulcanized soles, they recently put out the janoski pro-model, but this is a very light weight shoe with almost no support. they finally took one of my favorite nike models, the dunk, and wrapped vulcanized sole around it while cutting down on the fat a bit. this is not from "nike sb" but it's a plain old nike. i plan on buying a few pairs, they will most likely hold a hefty price tag... but hey, who would have thought they'd ever vulcanize a dunk!

nick mullins update

this has been up for a while already on the berrics. although some of you have already seen this i still feel it is absolutely necessary that i post this up for anyone who may have not seen it. this is the most touching story i've heard in a while, nick mullins is an amazing person in every way. if you're not familiar with the story go to the berrics and watch the updates from the start.

madison hits the berrics!

okay so maybe it's not quite as gnarly as us locals were hoping for but it's still something.
while i was lurking on the berrics i noticed that among their many side bar ads was a particular i-path banner, a shot of fred gall skating madison's own library mall. it's exciting to know that such a great and famed skater snuck an ad in from our humble city.

site updates

we've added a playlist to our site, the music is mostly inspired by potential skate part/edit songs, that you may never actually hear in an edit from us because they were excluded. this way i feel you viewers will have a bit of a deeper view into the throwaway thoughts behind edits. it's also just nice to have some music on the page don't you think?

we've also added a view counter, i know the things look trashy but we've always wondered how many people visit the page, now we'll know. it started at zero when we added it so yes we've gotten more than just six or seven hits in the several months we've been up.

thanks for your time, come back soon.
