Waiting

Besides not being able to wakeskate right now, i am pretty much living the dream right now. Chillin' in the back patio of my apartment, sun is shining, air is perfect, and we have been shredding all morning. I'm pretty much counting down the hours right now til Horan and Roland get here and we are depart for the beautiful city of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for round two of the Lauderdale winching escipades. Then from there we are creepin across the state back to "the 239" aka Fort Myers, for some quality chillin with Mr. Mathew Engel and some Lake Vista shredding (and to meet up with none other than Nick Taylor). From there we are cruisin up the coast to Anna Maria for some crystal clear, saltwater island shredding and then over to St. Pete for some most excellent winching and sailboat chillin. So yeah, does that sound like livin the dream to you or what??? I'm bringin my laptop like a good trendy filmmaker and will keep updating this stuff throughout the trip. stay tun3d!

harmonicas

I'm playing a harmonica WHILE typing this at the same time... does that blow your mind?

We got a sweeeeet little journey planned out ahead of us. I could probably just give it to your in numbers: 407, 941, 239, 305. thats all you need to know. Lots of winching, hanging with old friends, maybe making some new ones, filming, hammers, etc. etc.

Just ordered some super 8 film so get ready to get artsy! Have any of you guys out there seen the snowboard video "Burning Bridges"? I was watching it the other day and really diggin that vibe...

As I've mentioned before, my knee has been giving me problems the last 8 months, so filming any sort of video part on my side of things is looking pretty dim. I got a few tricks, but i think it's safe to say that I am giving my part to Travis Doran. This kid rips and has some mad flip tricks on lock, shreds some rails, pops like a balloon, and is pretty much learning new tricks every day. There is this wakeskater named George Daniels that you may have heard of? Keith and GD go way back and have started to collaborate to get some footy of George for Fun Boots! Believe it. So prepare to have your mind blown in more ways than you thought possible.

That's it for now! Stay tuned, more action to come!

hairy hairy wake games

it's no worries though... Andy is in the top 4! Way to go, buddy.

Finals are dirty at UCF, and i got two on monday... no good. Did some winching yesterday with Matt Hooker, Clint Tompkins, and Andy P. back at some gnarly incline cement ledge, definitely some stuff went down! I think we have way more footage than we think we do. Just wait, next month is going to be insane!

still breathing

yes! fun boots! is still coming along great lately, despite us not updating this thing in forever... Okay there ARE some exciting things coming up that we have in mind. Keith is done with his spring break fever and is back into filming full-time (jk, keef)...
there have lots of homies and "bros" over lately chillin at Lake Nan with andy and me and val (all in town for toe jam and wake games). So we got some "national" footage as i like to call it (filming people from out of state), and the rails on Nan have been getting a working.
Led Zeppelin still rocks.
Scene One Productions is hopefully getting their own winch soon... this video is already like 50 percent winching, so having our own will open us up for endless possibilities!!!
Believe it or not, andrew just keeps getting better and better...
We have been getting quite a good amount of footage of Travis Doran because he keeps creepin around orlando and shredding his heart out! kid is a straight ripper.
It's very likely that we will soon be getting a LOT of footage of Nick Taylor... he's got big plans.
There is probably more stuff to talk about, like our amazing ideas for an intro and trailer, and the fact that i have NOTHING to do the month of may but film!!! winch trips galore!

stay tuned people
