New Skatepark

August 15th, 2008

Maybe the new location work moved to isn’t so bad after all. Yesterday I found a really nice free skatepark about 2 minutes away!

Consistency told me I was a little rusty, and my muscles this morning told me I was a little out of shape, but I think I can fix both of those since I know where a free park is close to work now!

I don’t have any video there yet, but here is someone elses:

GR B-Boys

I took some video of the B-Boys downtown at Blues on the Mall.

Coincidentally it turned out to be the last night so I’m lucky I caught ‘em!

Skating at the new facility

Fun times. The video below was shot with my cellphone.

Art of the Saber - By the Ho Brothers

March 30th, 2008

A short film by hobbyists.

Good action, good effects, moving story, awesome tone.

(The dialog is from an authentic 1861 Civil War love letter.)

Slinging - First video

March 19th, 2008

This is the first video I’ve made of me slinging.

Many people don’t understand the difference between a sling and a slingshot. A sling is not stretchy. It’s just a flat piece of cloth and 2 strings.

They were used by the ancient Greeks, Egyptians and even before that. Range and lethality were on par with bows of the time.

Take that Goliath!

I haven’t been juggling in a long time. Tonight I decided to see how rusty I was.

2007 Great Lakes Open

June 9th, 2007

I look forward to it all year because they allow more leglocks than other tournys.
2 days before the tourney they announce no leglocks.
Bleh.
No medal this year (I got 2nd last yr), but at least I had a really good match before being eliminated.
For the first time ever, I taped it:
