JAX TRIP

Well Ben and Andrew and I jumped in the truck last saturday morning and headed out towards some shredding promises in Jacksonville and Palm Coast for the weekend. If you guys didn't already know, we are wrapping up Fun Boots! filming THIS WEEKEND, so we are trying to squeeze everything in as fast as we can and finish off strong. Anyway, back to the Jax trip.

We started out heading north towards a few gaps in Palm Coast right off the highway. After scoping several of them that seemed like low water levels, we went to the old trusty Palm Coast gap right off the highway and started hitting that bad boy like there was no tomorrow. Tyler Mangus met up with us and was dropping hammers in a matter of a few pulls. Ben and Andrew took their turns and then it was time to keep cruising north.

We got into Jax and started touring around the different spots following our trusty local, Tyler. He took us to about 4 or 5 that we had to choose from that day. It was starting to get late so we cruised over to this perfect waterfall gap... the ONLY problem with this drop was the location: right in the entrance to a golf community. Luckily we got away this night no problem, but we wouldn't be so lucky the next day. Ben's girlfriend and her family were nice enough to let us crash there, we were ever so grateful for the good meals and warm beds, thanks so much Jones family!

The next morning we got going to this crazy little ledge spot we found last time we were in Jax. this spot itself is likely to blow your mind, but not before the stuff Andrew was doing on it does. Tyler took us after that to another spot we had hit before, pretty much a huge ollie drop out of the entrance to this neighborhood, pretty key for filmabilities. It was late enough now to make it back to the golf course gap, but we were kicked out after not too long.

The trip was a fun little journey north and it's always good seeing Tyler and the other homies up there. Thanks to everyone.

epic journeys

well i have been stuck in a room for a while editing my life away all for the sake of fun boots! 

last night i was able to break wild and tj and i popped our collars and went to a little place called devanys. and we got wild. im met top hat and that kid likes to party. tj had a great performance last night for sure.  here is the list of songs that played out in a row last night there.  cascada- everytime we touch, haddaway-  what is love, david guetta- love is gone, and then back that ass up ended that little set it was wild. the bad part is tj didnt miss one word he sang everyone of those songs on key! it was a good night for sure.

lazy moon

lazy moon is the demise of fun boots!... but not really. it's probably more like UCF is the demise of Fun Boots!

actually, scratch that, there is no demise, because Keith and I just picked up some SASSY (with a capital everything) fun boots! tank tops that we have decided not to take off until after the video is done.

pressure pressure pressure... we are editing at breakneck speeds and picking out more and more songs each day. I just put some great jams behind a few of the sections and am definitely digging how she's lookin.

last month of filming! ahhhhh!!! Andrew and Ben are heading to the Lone Star State to indulge in its plethora of winchabilities, maybe some video will come of it all as well, who knows. We got some big plans for what we can make happen for the rest of this month. CAn you say "Narcoossee Extravaganza"? The Narc and Lake Whippoorwill is pretty much HOW we made esoteric, and it seems fitting to wrap up Fun Boots! at the same spot. Lots of rails, the grandma gap version 2.0, and all the boat and ski riding you could handle. And if these dudes want to get a little wild there is even a perfect spot to hone in on your footplanting skills.

stay tuned.

octubre

i got spanish on the mind... would it be rad if our whole video was in spanish? If we have any fluent readers on here, please go to our myspace (www.myspace.com/scene1productions) and leave us a comment on there with the translation for "Fun Boots!" into spanish. I already know it's going to have 2 exclamation marks, including one upside down, and that gets me pretty excited. Why doesn't english do that?

well here we are in the midst of the month of october and the shredding is upon us. Hooker got broken off at dr. philips so him and i are recovering nicely with each other, we should be back in about another month or two. But Andy P is still raging around town shutting down winch spots left and right. This is planning on being our last month of filming, so it's likely some good stuff is going to go down. Wow, just thinking i may see the end to Fun Boots! one day is nearly unthinkable...

Keep in touch

the teaser!!!

well i tried to get the teaser to embed onto this blog, but for some reason google blocks it...whatever. but pretty much if you havent seen our teaser yet for Fun Boots!, then go watch it RIGHT NOW!!

http://www.alliancewakeskate.com/videos_xl.php?id=536


We premiered it on Saturday of Surf Expo...yeah i know that was a couple of weeks ago and we've been slacking on the blog a little bit. Not to worry, because that only means our time has been getting spent elsewhere, on editing footage and getting more filming done. Keith just got some more footage at Stu's house where they rode on this sick bayou right behind his house, getting foot-age of all those crazy 941ers. I swear, it makes more sense to just live down there and film this video, keith let's move to the island. Anyway, Drew is back in town, and him and Gib and TJ have been getting their shred on. As well as some good ol' kickin back at Lake Nan. long live.

Other big news:
FUN BOOTS! T-shirts have been ordered today! Unfortunately they are of limited supply...for now. You'll be seeing em once they're done.
