    Nice work on the video man. Very classy, it lacks Niko though and he's very upset about that. JimZ gets all the attention!

    Peace

    Hey dude, hows it been?

    I've been thinking about some new footage ideas and going through some colabo stuff it looks like they use a boom. Ive got a heap of thin square metal lying around from some reno's we did that would be perfect to make a 7 or 8m boom for a video camera...
    The only problem i've come up with is how to see whats being filmed. I know they have a little TV to view from ordinarily.
    Do u have any ideas or input.. Or would you guys use it at all?
    anyways have fun
  • nedd0

    Sorry to bother you,
    But is the red jacket featured in your display picture a plain leather jacket or a proper padded etc "leathers" jacket?
    Cheers
  • nedd0

    Just wondering if it still worked alright as 'leathers'
  • nedd0

    Thanks for the advice man.
    One last thing.
    In your photos, (Car park Sesh) Which car park is that? I recognise it but cant think which one it is.
    Thanks.

    yeh man they can use it. also add that i found the bag very handy for traveling overseas as it is very portable due to the amount of straps and ways to carry the thing. so much room for everything and very durable, ive sent it through hell and back and havn't had one problem nor one broken stitch!

    maryhill video will be up next week

  • Ash

    hey dude, still heading up to noosa next month?
  • Ash

    sweet as, well, im still keen for a skate! i know one fun spot we can hit, a hill climb racing track, couple of k long from memory. not super fast or anything, but has some nice corners and stuff. im hoping to get up there in the next couple of weeks to scope out some new runs!

    i havent noticed alot of difference from my zigs, but they sure are fast and sticky, and light too which is nice. id buy em again :D
  • nick

    hey man, I'm probably coming up this sunday. Would you be able to bring up the jimmies?
    Thanks dude
  • Pitbull Productions

    I run a production facility and we use the red for all kinds of shit ads,docos,im doing two short films next month, but im gagging to get one out for a skate sesh

    they are awsome cameras but not for the beginers they are basicly 35 mm film cameras except there aint no film in them, still need all the crew you would on a normal film shoot.

    dude im planing on a trip to adelaide after the next conehead cup (fingers crossed) to come skate EOTH and do a full film session... you keen? gee-up the crew... let me know of dates its not confirmed yet but im just throwing it out there

  • Premium Member

    Jacko

    ok well im goin to sth africa for Fair cape and Hot Heels so i'll b there from nov 25th till dec 10th so we'll work around that maybe... i might head up before then

  • Premium Member

    Jacko

    dude im thinkin of flying into adelaide on friday the 7th and get in at about 6 in the evening and then flying home on the sunday at about 5.30pm... is your crew keen to skate that weekend? i havent booked anything yet though im just getting an idea...

  • Premium Member

    Jacko

    dude i completley forgot that we're having an outlaw race in the city in a few weeks, a full on urban assult. should be rad. dates still undecided so im going to have to postpone that trip to adelaide for a little while
  • nick

    hey dude, how was aldgate if you did it after all?

  • Premium Member

    Jacko

    i havent tried them on dropthrough boards but i know that those sort of trucks are always better off on a topmount board, because you get better leverage over the trucks, and also coz they have a low profile... The evo is a topmount board just lowered with wedges so that might give you some idea of what i mean. If he wants to get some CNC trucks for a drop-thru board i'd suggest either Jim-Z's or Kahalanis... but seeing as those two cost an arm and a leg i'd then have to suggest Kookies with venom bushings.
    every truck will work in every board, just some trucks work better with other board, but the main thing is with CNC trucks, you will never really be able to tell the difference between them all untill you start breakin 70-80k's and throwing yourself into gnarly corners side-by-side with riders and cars....

    hope that helps =)

    Yea I read about your little sesh with Pete, sounds good. Yea I know what you mean, I know I'm feeling alot more compfortable now that Jacko has been down and we have moved up that skill level. At the same time though it shows how far behind we are compared to people like Jackson and other racers. K.I is great, had a load of fun with some German backpackers last night at a mates Birthday doo. Going out to catch Turkeys now. Should be a laugh. Have a good one mate, cya soon!

    Peace

    hey bro been reading a bit of the forums your on, a bit hard to keep up.. Ha! Jacko was telling me of all the rad hills you guys ride. So keen to come meet and ride with you guys... Peace man.

  • Premium Member

    Dani

    Going up to Sydney to race in Master of the Hill. You should come up aswell, be two of us to represent SA

  • Premium Member

    Stephen Daddow

    Yeah bro it is good to ride with new and good riders, and Jackson is our best at the moment. He rips, he does video, Slalom, Downhill, skate and can talk the talk.... We never know to much, take it all in ... It's Skating and its rad... Peace man..

  • Premium Member

    Jacko

    that cowtounge stuff is pretty good but the Hardcore griptape is wide enough for the Evo and its still rough as shit so that might be your better option.
    Let me know whats happening with the trip if you come up, it would be awsome to have you up here. The only prob is organising lifts for everyone to/from the airport coz the QLD fuckers are coming down and dani is coming too and i dont even own a car hahaha so the earlier we figure it out the better
  • nick

    Hey man. Is there gonna be a corner sesh tomoro. if so can you let me know. I'll be up with a mate to have some fun.
