Tue, 09 Mar 2010 07:52:06 DIY Hotshoe Mount Top-Handle Test at Jaws Skatepark I took advantage of a rare free Saturday to go check out the Jaws Skatepark in New Braunfels, TX. I had two goals in mind, one to get some skate on and two, see how the DIY hotshoe mount top-handle I built for my Canon 5D Mark II worked for shooting skating. Happy to say [...]
Wed, 27 Jan 2010 04:48:33 Skateboarding is awesome. Holy shit, I won the Nikon Festival Audience Award!

Huge thanks [...]

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 21:12:17 Nikon Festival Entry: New York State Of Mind So, last night I found out that the film I submitted for the Nikon Festival was selected as one of the 50 finalists out of over 1200 entries. I was super hyped and didn’t get much sleep to say the least! Now, here’s where you come in…There’s an audience award based on the (number [...]
Wed, 02 Dec 2009 21:45:31 Vida Sobre Rodas - Promo Oficial I just saw this trailer for a history of Brazil skateboarding project by Daniel Baccaro called Vida Sobre Rodas which translates to Life About Wheels. Well produced, engaging and even though I can’t understand what they’re saying, the language of skateboarding is loud and clear. The project covers from the sketchy 80’s to [...]
Wed, 02 Dec 2009 20:42:44 How Does This Still Happen? How? Why? Pilot Light broke it down better than I ever could, but I’ll just leave you with a quote from the director. “Hey I’m Jeff Richter* and I’m a filmmaker who loves skateboarding. I also love the new Mustang. This is how I would unleash my Mustang. I would make the Mustang do [...]
Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:44:33 Bastien Salabanzi celebrates his win, just slightly early. Chill man, it’s cool. The tricks speak for themselves… Bastien Salabanzi at the Tony Hawk Show in the Grand Palais, Paris, France. Chris Cole via TWS What would you have to win or land specifically to get as hyped as Bastien was in that clip? A double Cab flip. Just kidding. Not possible. I don’t get to that point, I [...]

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 03:34:39 Lyn-Z Adams Hawkins first female McTwist, and it’s not a 540. Another NBD bites the dust. Quiksilver and Tony Hawk put on the insane French concert version of Boom Boom Huck Jam called the Tony Hawk Show at the Grand Palais in Paris this weekend. He’s progressed to living in an alternate reality at this point. No hate, just feeling a little bewildered. [...]
Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:28:07 Nikon Festival Entry I put together this piece for a contest Nikon is having, give it a look. Thanks! UPDATE: Here’s a higher res version that captures a lot of the nuances the Nikon compression lost. New York State of Mind 24 hours in New York City, shot over two different days last year. Working with the Driendl Group I’m [...]
