northwest documentary


Props to buchtis3 of youtube for posting up northwest. (& tom for pointing me to it) a superb super 8 documentary By Nichols/Charnoski (of fruit of the vine fame). if you haven't seen it yet then it's a must, and if you have, well you know you want to see it again.

Buy the real thing & other amazing films direct from six stair

"Filmed entirely in Black & White Super 8, Northwest expands on the theme from the Skateparks of Oregon video (without the whole story line) as we follow some of the most influential skateboarders/artists/philosophers of our time on a journey through their scene in the Pacific Northwest. The do-it-yourself attitude that prevails among the skaters of the Northwest is highlighted throughout the film. We witness the design and creation of their own skate facilities, a tour through the garage-based M&M Skateboard facility, and hit the road on a variety of skate excursions."

jaws!


A
nother pool board -> wax and polished for a lipslide tasktic ride (hell if you carve into a tail stall it slides. slightly too short in the nose though).

(finally) lines at peckham


ok yesterday the English summer stopped just long enough to get a quick sesh at peck's bowl. turned up and to our un ending delight it was awash with glass. 10 mins with an impro broom and gaffa tape saw it all right. untill now this has relly just been a bowled mini ramp with no 'real' bowl lines. BUT they do exsits --> these are a couple of trials flicks for our lines project. more coming soon.
about 20mins in i gave my elbow a treat, and a gnr. hipper to boot. savage.
