I’ve been a little busy, things done changed.
Spent most of the day listening to Vincent Laforet and Chase Jarvis talk DLSR video (HDDLSR if you prefer) at creativeLIVE.com in between trying to get some work done.
If you have any interest in shooting HD video with your DLSR camera you should definitely tune in. The live broadcasts are free and they are going to make edited versions of the talks available for $129 after the fact. Tons of great information, and more interestingly for me, Vincent and Chase shooting the shit after the official discussion about this, that and everything in between. There are two more days of talks today and tomorrow, check the full schedule here. Well worth putting in some time to hear two of the best talk about their craft.

It is a sad day, RIP Guru. We ran as much Gangstarr as we could in 411 until we lost our connect at the label that was hooking up the rights, I think that was right after we used every song off of Jazzmatazz. Two of the best ever together in this Eric Koston 411VM Best of Volume 1 Profile from 1994 featuring No Shame In My Game off of Gangstarr’s Daily Operation.
I’ve been over the Jereme Rogers bashing since his stint on Skatetalk Live! proved him completely incapable of any sort of self-awareness. Like a good book, sometimes the video version is better left to the imagination. I’m stoked JR’s got passion for music, other than that, he seems to just say whatever words pop into his head regardless of if they make sense or not. However, I thought it was worth noting that he and Billy Waldman of World Industries Rubbish Heap fame could quite possibly be the same person. I’m just saying, you know what I’m saying?
So the KNOW SKATEBOARDING news aggregator has been up and running for a few days. What do you think?
I’m ironing out some backend issues to make it run faster and working on adding a latest news section, but I also wanted to open up a discussion for some public input. What sites are missing? Have you had any problems? What else would you like to see? Leave a comment and let me know, thanks!

Frontside noseblunt slide up the elevator during Saturday’s Qualifying practice. Just getting the chance to try this trick against traffic during the Saturday madhouse at Tampa Pro 2010 confirms once again why Mike Peterson is a badass.

I took advantage of a rare free Saturday to go check out the Jaws Skatepark in New Braunfels, TX. I had two goals in mind, one to get some skate on and two, see how the DIY hotshoe mount top-handle I built for my Canon 5D Mark II worked for shooting skating. Happy to say it was a success on both fronts. The skatepark is super fun, well worth my 25 minute drive, and at about 45 mins from Austin, a spot that traveling teams can bring their ATV shredders and street rats alike.
