Red Sox and Jonah Miller!

Well, Red Sox nation just went insane last night all over Boston and in front of my apartment (footage to show later) in celebration of the World Series sweep! Great series - the sweep and scores don't indicate the intensity of each game. Great post season and 2 World Series wins in 4 years for the underdogs of baseball history!


In other news, the underdog (and possibly nicest kid) of Boston came through with a line yesterday. Jonah Miller, owner of Turnstyle Clothing, is back at 'cha with the realness! Check out his Myspace and you can get your hands on some of his clothing at True East. If you don't frequent the shop, hit him up on Myspace and I'm sure he'll work something out with you. Check out his site too!



Well here's the footy. Hope you enjoy.

That's all for this update, you'll hear from me soon enough again.

Skate Videos These Days...

Well, Nike just previewed their new video, "Nothing But The Truth," to Boston. What happened to skate videos actually showing skateboarding? I think skateboarding needs an influx of old school editing. The Nike video ran at almost 90 minutes, which is just absurd. Not only does a video that long have excess footage that shouldn't have made the edit, but "skits" in skate videos should be reserved for bonus DVD material. However, kudos to Nike for the free popcorn and new Lewis Marnell, Wieger (holy shit), P-Rod, and Gino footage!

Skateboarding is now at it's most popular, yet with this addition of corporate funds, skate videos seem to be taking a turn for the worse. Skate videos shouldn't need $50,000 funding - yes I'm aware that is probably a complete understatement for the budget Nike had. All you need a camera, your friends, and some good quality skateboarding. I hate to be the guy that complains, but the latest videos (with the exception of Listen's "Viajeros Locos") seem to disappoint.

Well after all that complaining, it's hard to post footage and expect a free pass from scrutiny. So if you have a comment about my clips, please leave them. I love critique, especially harsh ones (if they are valid).

Nike Premiere and Footy

Last night was fun - props to everyone who set up the Static 3 / Consolidated premiere at the Otherside. From one premiere on to the next however - Nike SB. Their video, "Nothing But The Truth" will be premiering this Thursday, the 25th of October at 7:30pm @ the Harvard Square theater. The address is 10 Church Street - it's right by the Harvard Square T-Stop.



Here's the trailer, just in case you haven't seen it. Should be an interesting skate video at the least, so drop by!

Also, so I'm not just updating and posting old footy, here's a new clip.

That's all for today. It's beautiful out and I'm spending my time pent up inside. I believe it's time to go skate. Peace!

Creation

Well guys,

The Sox just made it into World Series and I can't think of a better time to start this. Boston just created the biggest buzz in the country, and it couldn't be timelier. The Boston skate scene has been creating a buzz for past while and I'm proud to have become a part of it.



So to celebrate this win for Boston, here's some oldies but goodies. Hope you enjoy.

PS. Go Sox!
