SPRING IS TEASIN’

Not necessarily warm, but warm enough. Skateboarding. Goodness. The above screenshot is from a mission the other day with Sir. Anton. So fun shoveling snow and being able to skate a spot otherwise un-skateable. Excited for D-Rails new promo. I have been drawing a lot lately, designing a poster for an upcoming GRANDPARENTS show…for my screenprinting class. Pretty stoked. Here is the rough draft:

I woke up last year and it was today.

Was lucky to be a part of the most recent MATTER letterpress workshop, super fun time with awesome people!!! It was both Saturday and Sunday this past weekend:

Super stoked to know Rick, and this just reminded me to show you a crappy little webisode we just finished for MATTER…filmed on my GoPro because my brother took his camera to Australia and I haven’t been able to get my hands on a new one yet:

Just for good looks, here is a picture of my brother from our first Skype sesh the other day:
And last but not least, since this is a skate blog and stuff…I will end this post with a storyboard I made for my portfolio preparation class. This is just one of three (I assume you will assume that I actually tried on the other two). It was created start to finish in less than an hour at the brutal end of 20 hour work streak.

Sunny Daze Sunrise

I woke up this morning and opened my eyes to this beautiful color filled sky… first thing I thought was how rad it is that our crew name is named after such a gorgeous thing and how stoked a sunrise can make you feel right when you wake up. So this is just a reminder on how hyped you will be when the sunrises on the day of the Sunny Daze Video premier Lets Get Beautiful which is on ??? some time never.

THE WAIT IS OVER.

FAMOUS ON NBC!

Sorry to overshadow your amazing post so quickly Andy, but I need to post this bad boy. The show opener that premiered today on NBC for the Redbull Signature Series! I got paid to do a bunch of kickflips, pretty sweet…You can tell it’s a Null board for sure.

Club Dancing

So the last two weekends in a row I have found myself dancing at clubs with Chadman, his brother and his brothers friends. The following will describe a typical scenario during our endeavors. Try to talk each other into going on the dance floor. Going on the dance floor and dancing awkwardly in a corner surrounded by beautiful women. Try to talk one another into dancing with the women. Briefly surround our selves with chicks and dance while avoiding eye contact. Briefly get “grinded on” while contemplating if it would be pushing the line to grab the girls hips while being “grinded on”. At one point Chadman asked me to switch “grind partners” to accommodate his height, a definite highlight of the night.

There is something to be said for going to a club that is clearly, nothing your able to take seriously, while simultaneously experiencing a hormone overload. I guess practice makes perfect, and i plan on making serious strides to improve my “game” as they say in the biz. I’ve been watching this video for the past two and a half hours straight and am already thrilled with the quick results that this instructional video has produced.

Take care and see you on the dance floor

Go-Glider Bon Bon Madness

Chad Seidel — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 17:04:19 +0000

The first montage by me and Andy where we land tricks!!! Ha. We had about 15 minutes of airtime before running out of battery and sunlight so get ready for nothing but flip-in flip-out hammers. After filming this on Sunday, we went back to my parents house and edited for 6 hours…we were stoked. Big thanks to my Dad for his flying skills as well as installing the Go-Pro into his glider. Big thanks to Bon Bon for sitting next to me and helping me edit, definitely a good colab. Cheers. Hope you like the cheesy inspirational song we found on youtube.

Chadman and I love to film ourselves do excellent board trickery so we did our thang at Dayton skatepark getting tight with the locals and hella hyphy vibes all day. Enjoy this psychedelic edit with fun clips through out the montage cause who likes it serious, its all about them smiles…
