Downhill Skateboarding in Many Pictures - By Jon Huey


Downhill Skateboarding in Many Pictures from Jon Huey on Vimeo.

While travelling and documenting downhill skateboarding, I have taken many thousands of images. I love video about as much as I love pictures. So when I realized I could combine the two, I was excited to start this project.

In this video, I combine many images taken of internationally renowned downhill skateboarders at Maryhill Loops Rd in Washington with a timelapse run down one of California's greatest roads, GMR. For the filming of that sequence at dusk, I held the trigger of my camera down while riding a buttboard, a skateboard made for riding on your butt. The two riders are my good friends Billy Meiners and Robert James McKendry III.

I'm afraid, for me, there are a lot of skate videos and clips that just leave me with "another skate video" feel, but this; this was bloody good in its own right. The editing and use of stills and videos and the actual use of effects on the stills gave this a really different feel. The whole mashed up chaotic feel of the larger group of riders really came across.......that was all a bit arty for me!!! must have a lie down

too long and too gnar for you buddy... the video doesnt do it justice. I shredded two sets of wheels, wore through my jeans, padded shorts, underpands AND skin just sessioning that hill... extreme riders only
