January at the Sanctuary

January 31st, 2010 | Tags: , ,

Check out my latest video of the Sanctuary Skatepark.
It turned out okay, but I probably should have shortened most of the tricks by a few seconds. Filmed with a Canon Vixia HF20 Camcorder and an Opteka fisheye lens.

Today’s public opening was a success! At least 40 skaters showed up, which is great considering that everyone’s busy with the holidays. View some photos – http://sanctuaryskatepark.ca/photos/?album=1&gallery=5

I made a short video, which mainly has footage from Dec 12 and Dec 18.
Cameras: Canon PowerShot SD780 and Sony HDRCX100.

Some of my photos from the Marina Skate Plaza Grand Opening are featured on the New Line Skateparks website.  I was surprised and honoured that they chose my photos because a lot of people were taking pictures. http://www.newlineskateparks.com/news/?n=42

Skated the Pool

I skated the pool at the plaza for the first time today. Dropping in psyched me out for a few minutes, but I eventually did it without bailing

Marina Skateboard Plaza Grand Opening

June 27th, 2009 | Tags: , , ,

Today was the grand opening of the Marina Skateboard Plaza. The weather wasn’t the greatest and it eventually rained after 2PM.  There are some photos on the site now, http://tbsc.ca/gallery or http://tbsc.ca/gallery/?album=5&gallery=5

I uploaded a short video taken with a Canon PowerShot SD780 camera. There’s about 2 minutes of speeches. Some pool skating by Adam Hopkins and Dakota White. Also a few tricks down the 9 set.

4Fourteen Skate Shop

June 8th, 2009 | Tags: , ,

I’ve launched the website for 4Fourteen Skate Shop. They were my favourite skateboard shop when I was younger, but unfortunately they closed a few years ago. I was glad to hear that they recently reopened business. I was honoured that they asked me to make their website.
