So, been thinking about a new blog post for a while now, and that's been about it. Thinking about it. Time to get off the keyboard and write. The next installment of ExtremePods is a done deal and I think everyone will enjoy it. Another movie review from this years x-dance Action Sports film festival. The film is a skate documentary from Portland, Oregon filmmakers Milan Spasic and Chip Mabry called "Rip City." This isn't your every day skate film. It's not trick, trick, trick, etc. Nope. More a "skate culture" film that shows some of the Heart of skating in Portland. It has aired on Fuel TV, and a lot of people are wondering about purchasing the DVD. That is in the works as I write this post. Details will be posted on our site as soon as the distribution is worked out. It's still airing on Fuel. Been seeing Chet Childress on some stuff on FuelTV, and he either got some dental work done, or knocked that tooth out before the filming of "Rip City". just noticing.
Let's talk about the "State of Skate" for a minute here.
I took the opportunity on June 21st to go skate, since it was Go Skateboarding day anyway, and checked out the DC am team at Fairmont Skate park in Salt Lake City. Was a lot of fun had by all and it seemed to bring out the best in all the skaters having the DC dudes there. I am in the process of putting the video I shot together, and should have it done in the next couple days.
We have been getting out to the park in Oakley, Utah a bit lately, What a fun spot!!! It's a small park but has good features, and is not crowded at all. If you get the chance, go ride it.
All in all the state of skate seems to be pretty good around here even with the down economy.
Parks are busy, shops seem to be doing OK, and everybody is just skating through it.
I just received a pair of AIRWALK skate shoes for review, so watch for that soon.
Thanks for reading and get out and Skate!!!
Jeff
