Back In Business

As you have probably noticed, I haven't posted in a long time. My camera was in rough condition so I sent it into the shop to get it repaired. I finally got it back and I have been getting lots of footage (glitch free!).

Tom Bateman and myself have been checking this set out for a while and its finally skateable. We took a few shred heads up and they managed to get a few ollies down it. Just for the record, this set is much longer than it looks.

Here is Brandon Young and Ben Maclean with some lofty ollie's.

Give me ambiguity, or give me something else...

I know this is going to sound bad but I don't really have an update for today. I'll be honest with you, I haven't really been motivated to film lately. That sounds lame and like I'm wasting my VX but I dunno. What's up Freddy? What's the deal?

How about this: If you have some talent and want to be on Who Is Freddy. Give me a shout. We'll film a little something (hopefully more than just a single trick) and give you a little feature. Its a good chance to get some coverage.

For now, I'll make another self post haha. Lame, I know.


and a little bonus:

Keep Yo Eyes Open

The other night Kurtis, Chris and I went to shoot a spot we've had our eyes on for about a month. Just as I was starting to unpack my gear, a faithful employee of the call centre where we were planning to skate imediatly came over and warned us about the dangers of hitting cars 40 feet away, doing damage to the pavement, harming the wildlife, etc. After several attempts to reason with him he informed us that the building security, police, SWAT, CIA and Air Force had been called in to remove us. As we left I spotted a bunch of cinder blocks lying in the parking lot. We quicky rushed the conctrete into the car and literally took it to a bank spot next door and had a productive sesh, gettting these two photos as well as the paddleboat one I posted earlier. I think the key to staying productive is just keeping your mind clear and being prepared to find alternatives. That being said, I plan to get that intial shot asap.

Cheers!

Wub Tour 08

I had something to post today, but instead I'm going to post the Wub Tour 08 video. Basically the Wub Tour is a tour that multiple people from around New Brunswick and Nova Scotia go on each summer usually from the first of August to the 15th of August. They start in halifax and work their way up through NS then they go through NB. The whole thing was started by Julien Strasfeld and Sylvain Theriault.

The Wub Tour 08 video isn't just tour footage though. Its all their footage plus what they got during the Wub Tour 2008. If you haven't seen the first one yet (the Wub Tour 2007) then I suggest you watch it first. There are tour parts as well as actual parts that people have. Here are the links:

You should download as opposed to just watching it on his website though so you don't use up all his bandwidth.
