An unfortunate sequence of events

I'm now almost a filmer.

I gave in to the temptation and bought a camera that can shoot 8fps...sufficient for skateboarding sequences. I gave it my first shot tonight, and it's fun, and it's a good feeling when you manage to get the shot and the land.

Potter was popping out of pivot fakies, and it looked insane.

Hell hath no fury...

...Like long handrails and harsh Sudbury style ground.
Broken board and a bloodied arm, and no land.

If you build it...

Skateboarding's best new trend is making your own spots. I love it, makes perfect spots and skater built objects readily available.

Obviously, Sudbury is behind every trend ever, so we just started doing this. Rob, Potter, and I started making some stuff at foundation off Notre Dame. That spot is going to be rad when everything is made.

Frank worked really hard to hit this polejam, he deserved this photo more than anyone.
