so when I can't surf(basically all the time) I longboard skate. I've only been skating for like 2 weeks, and got bored today so I grabbed my dads digital camera and made a movie. I did all the shooting my self by placing it on random objects, all of it is filmed in my driveway or my neighborhood.
I built the board, 44" pintail, I post more description if anybody is interested.

so, tell me what yall think? I know weve got some rather good eyes for film, and I dont really.

I called the board "The Craver" (carve, crusing)

hope yall like it, and feel free to give me a whole lotta criticism!



sorry the quality is a bit crappy, but between all of the changes in file types, hosting sites, and compression it has been rather distorted, although the original came out quite well quality wise.

let's see some cross stepping! noserides! powerslides!

I figured out how to hang heels then walk back to the tail and repeat, like a board walk 360... I don't know what it's called but I was stoaked about it.

I gotta make my own movie now

yea, the board is way too flexy for much walkin. im making a 60" old school dancer, basically exactly like adam coltons. (
http://whoisadamcolton.com/videoadamsoldskooldancer.mov) he's got a great style in my opinion, from VA too.

I built the board out of what I thought was birch, but it is birch with luan skin, and I used contact cement which didnt give me a rigid enough contact. I've got 78a's on there, so its kinda hard for my skill to do any slides without wetting the road, which would I should have included.

so, that leaves the manuals, and basically, I just can't do them :lol:
maybe i'll get better with the new board.

my board came out way flexier that I expected, I had to move my trucks closer twice because the deck was touching the ground... I should get risers but haven't been to a skate shop in a while

I'm gunna combine this movie I'm making with some skim footage and snowboarding, so it won't be done until around january.
