Rude'n'Rugged Boyz early season edit
Well it's been quite a while since I posted something new on here and I do apologize for the delays, but I am glad to announce that the footy stacking process has now begun and little fun edits such as this one will start to pop up more often. Obviously though, due to copyright infringement issues and professional secrecy, I can't release all of the tricks that have been stacked so far, but I still intend to post a few throwaway edits since nowadays only the bangers filmed with 5000$ video equipment's good enough (lol just kidding).
OK well now concerning this particular edit you're about to watch, it's composed from delightful snowskate moments that I had the chance to share with Josh on a marvellous week end in late December. A good thing to know too is that this was shot with my new Sony HDR-XR100 camera and that it was my very first experiment editing with the AVCD (using Vegas 7), and let me tell you guys if you don't have the appropriate software and enough patience with those, you're gonna get screwed just like I was trying to batch convert files so I could edit them and realizing after 3 days of suffering that you have the wrong program (thanks to Vegas pro 9 this is a thing of the past though).
I also have to give credit to two little rugged boys we snowskated with for parts of the trip, Chuck and Max, respectively 13 and 14 yrs old, because it was sure entertaining to see those two hoodlum steezers rocking the Ambition boards and trying to learn from us seasoned veterans of the snowskate arctic-like warfare. This being said it was also very humbling to see young kids learning so fast, getting consistent with their flip tricks on flat and stepping their game up trying some decent sized ledges at the downtown hangout spot, and I definitely enjoyed teaching these recruits some vital survival tips and some powerful insight on trick perfecting, setup preparing and footy stacking. To sum it up it was sort of a nostalgic experience for me because it reminds me of the good old days when snowskate wasn't necessary about throwing yourself down flocks of stairs and sacking on handrails and such just to hype up the crowd (haha actually I most definitely appreciate my lifestyle right now and I don't mind taking some risks if the results are worth it).
Sorry for such a long description, but one last thing you people need to know is that Josh and I truly made this happen the ghetto way, walking kilometres in the cold and carrying plywood sheets all around the city, but with all those little technical handicaps aside (still don't have a car so that doesn't help), it was sure a lot of fun and I am stoked to share the result of our hard work with you guys!!
'nuff said, here's the edit!
cha-cha-cha-charlo!!!!
