ASRA - Australian Skateboard Racing Association

Ok so the idea of a longboarding video competition had been tossed around and after some thought i think its time to get this happening. All u shredders out there this is your chance to show us all what you got. Bust out your cameras and steeze it up. Right here on ASRA we will hold the first Australian longboarding video competition, you will all have two months to shoot and cut up some of your sickest footage into a video no more than 3mins long and battle it out for the big prize! (prizes yet to be advised, but hey who gives a f*ck what you get really.... but either way it will be a sick prize - i will personally throw in a set of fresh wheels)

Lets see what the aussie riders out there have got, and lets get the creative juices flowing.
All you have to do is upload a video onto the ASRA website and post up a link right here, and on December the 9th we will unveil the winner. We will choose 3 finalists to take 1st 2nd and 3rd, and these 3 videos will all be featured on the Skatehorde.com website.

What we will be looking for:
- Originality
- Steeze
- Good cinematography (camera work)
- Some form of story-line or flow to the video
- Editing
- Sound tracks
- Good use of colours in images
- Interesting camera angles
- All around gnar-ness

Videos can be shot of whatever you want as long as it has to do with longboarding. You can shoot a hectic downhill video, you can put on your red shoes and dance the blues away or you can style it up in your favourite urban environment, anyway you wanna do it get 'er done, but make it look sick!
Get creative with the cameras and film something new, try skating in different areas that you normally wouldn't skate and capture the moment, spread the stoke by trying to capture the feeling you get from longboarding.
All videos must be new and original, videos that have already been uploaded on this site before today (October 11 2009) will not be counted, give the people something they have never seen before so we dont get this competition flooded with old videos we have seen 1000 times before!

If you have any questions feel free to ask. Lets get it happening! If anyone wants to help out by donating prizes that would be wicked. Hopefully we can get this competition running as an annual or monthly thing, so keep those videos happening. Remember if you are a finalist your video will be featured on the Skatehorde.com website. This is a great chance to not only get your steezy skating skills noticed but to really develop your video filming/editing skills!

REMEMBER THIS IS NOT A COMPETITION TO SEE WHO IS THE BEST SKATER, THIS IS A COMPETITION TO SEE WHO CAN CREATE THE BEST VIDEO OF LONGBOARDING.

Canberra Downhill video comp entry/sound revamped from luke whitmore on Vimeo.

Exactly the same as the original video except I have fixed the audio during the interview scenes and made them louder. It is an entry into Jacko's video comp on ASRA and also a teaser/trailer for a longer doco that I am doing at the moment. A representation of how Australian riders are shredding the gnar.

wooooh can't wait to see everyones videos good or bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
can we use some footage from recent videos uploaded to asra, if its no longer than say 10 second clip?
well if its got nothing to do with longboarding u wont win...
well time to bust them out and post em up here when they are good to go.
you can use whatever footage that is yours or you have permission to use. Sure u can use clips from previous videos that you have put up on ASRA, because you are then editing a new video. If you think your clips are good then go for it and use them

and jacko u cant enter cus thats just unfair
i plan on being one of the judges not an entrant... plus i cant b fucked making any movies right now ive got so much on the plate (i.e Danger bay to LA ep 3, newtons, riding my skateboard)
how do u upload the video's? do you have to uploado into the videos section or can u uplload as a post?
Yeah, no alias for Jacko ,we will still recognise his primo work..
When your video is online send me the link to it and i will post it up here. You can upload straight to the ASRA website if you want but for best quality i would recommend using www.vimeo.com it has a great converter and you can upload High Quality and High Definition videos. If you use Youtube you run the risk of your Audio being muted due to copyright laws and all that shit
ok i got two questions whats steeze? and do you have to be any good at skating?
and third i'm guessing a hd video is gonna score better than a gopro madness vid?
Steeze = Style with Ease... in other words radness... Well you dont nesicarilly have to be good at skating, as long as your camera work and editing skills are up there.

REMEMBER THIS IS NOT A COMPETITION TO SEE WHO IS THE BEST SKATER, THIS IS A COMPETITION TO SEE WHO CAN CREATE THE BEST VIDEO OF LONGBOARDING.

sure u can put together a GoPro video, but you will score higher for good structure in ur video. You will need to work hard to make up for the lesser quality and lack of lens control by making your video flow nicely and be interesting. A good video is one that keeps it's audience captivated and interested to see whats next. You can post up a video of yourself just rolling down to the shops if you want, if you edit it well and make it look really interesting then you will score high. So be creative, get some inspiration from other videos out there on the net and get something happening
sick, i have my vce media final ready to roll, will have to put it up tomorrow
