Parking Garage Wipe Out

Just skating along doing my thing... and then I manage to wipe out at the end. Not very good video quality, but oh well. 

Push Yourself

Filming for upcoming video's.

We found this bench on one of our adventures. It was perfect and is being added to the into to our video's we will be making for now on. 

Bear Video Day

We are shooting a longboarding video about animals (thus the animal hats). We spent the day in the woods riding on the trails, making friends with the wild life, and ending the day by wiping out and being extremely tired. The video is still in progress, but here are a few pics from shooting day 1. 

Found a nice place to hang our bags so they wouldn't get pokeys on them. 

Rocking the bear hats. 

So We Get A Little Bored?

Sometimes we just need to get a little more creative ;]

On a daily basis, we consume massive amounts of RedBull which causes us to do a lot of "projects" (this blog being one of them). So one day my friend got creative and made a skate board out of out our empty cans.

Obviously I cannot do this.

This is for a current project we are about to start. We're going to film a scene for each of these with out chosen song playing. We're taking playlist to a whole new level.

Taking a ride on the wild side and 2 boarding it.

DYI Video Camera Extension

Need longer arms to get that perfect shot while boarding? Well wait no more! We have a solution to your problem right here! (At least a temporary somewhat terrible one).

My friend slyly made this little contraption. She took the end off of a broom stick, poked a whole in a cigarette pack and taped the pack to the pole to have a flat "sturdy" surface that we could tape the camera to so that we could get different angles while filming. Yes, it was a good idea in retrospect, but the tape slowly became flimsy and it was difficult to keep the camera at the  angle we needed.

So after all that, we ended up going out and buying a regular camera extender thing (idk what it's called). I am super stoked to get out and use it.

Long Board the Park

This day was all about filming and catching some speed. We were trying out different techniques with the camera and different angles. We were just skating around the local park by my house that has some nice hills to ride on. One I may have even reached 35 mph on. We were also trying out our new sliding gloves we made. The song is No Handlebars by Flobots.

Long Board the River Walk

This day, we were really just wanting to go out for a chill day and some nice easy riding. We decided to wear mustaches. All in all it was a super fun day of pretty good riding. You can tell we are slowly getting better at riding.

Long Board Cheney

This video was filmed by myself and a friend out at a lake in Kansas. The song is The Distance by Cake. We were out and about trying new spots to skate after a long day of watching the kite surfers.

Still new to boarding, I had no idea how to stop myself and I was going about 25 mph at one point. So I did the only thing I knew how to, bailed! And then had to chase my board all over the place.

Introduction

I have a habit of getting bored so, I've decided to start trying out new things like: movie making, long boarding, kite surfing, land boarding, guitar, DIY crafts... and many more projects! I hope to keep a list of them on here with some photos and things to help if you'd like to try as well.


ENJOY!
