Hometown Tourist

How many tourist missions have we had in all these towns around the world? I love all this time back in Tampa before travel madness starts up again in the spring. It's time for a tourist mission in our own town. Downtown in my neighborhood. I took the cruiser board and my big fat camera for a stroll through and came back with this chill cam dump: Tampa Tourist Mission: Downtown and Channelside Cruiser Board Tour.

Yep, DJ Wade with Lions

I can't believe South Africa already seems so far back. It wasn't just skateboarding there of course. Neal Hendix has a few photos from a tourist mission on the last day there before everyone took the long flight home: Chill Time South Africa.

Nike Bid'niss and Pleasure in Portland

Clem, Schaefer, and my fellow Innetech inventory slangster Justin Ryan were with me in Portland last week for some meetings with our friends at Nike to go over all kinds of things. Here are a few things we worked out, plus some observations:
  • Pushead is the artist for Tampa Am 2011 and Tampa Pro 2012.
  • Dr. Octagon is performing during the Am at the Anniversary Party on Friday night. Wow. Remember the album cover? Yep, see previous point. What a pair.
  • Nike will be premiering The SB Chronicles Vol. 1 at Tampa Am on Saturday night. We will be joined by a list of launch parties all around the world that will be watching with us over the web.
  • Tampa Am will be broadcast live at skateparkoftampa.com. We are not concerned with old media such as the boob tube. Let’s move on and control our own content and distribution. Digital high five.
  • The people at Burnside are very nice dudes and extremely polite.
  • If I ever grow up, I’d like to be a marketing chief and visionary like Sandy Bodecker.
  • Skatepark of Tampa’s 20-Year Anniversary Party at the end of 2012 is going to blow the doors off your mind. Can’t wait.
As usual, I got a few random photos from the trip and a bit of video from my phone. This was filmed on the old iPhone 4 since the 4S wasn’t out yet, but edited in Premiere since iOS5 has been crashing like a drunk driver: Nike Bid'niss and Pleasure in Portland.

Kimberley Camera Dump

What a weekend. Here are a few photos and sequences: Maloof Money Cup South Africa 2011.

My Next Video Will Be Made on an iPhone 4S

Just got home from a long ass flight back from South Africa. Over the course of a few days in Kimberley for the Maloof Money Cup, I had my phone out and was piecing together this edit of everything from our arrival into town for sheep head and chicken feet dinner with our new friends, to working at the Contest and watching the Finals: Maloof Money Cup South Africa: My Weekend in Five Minutes.

Welcome to Kimberley, Let's Dance

The opening ceremonies at Maloof Money Cup in Kimberley, South Africa were pretty entertaining. Colin's got some footage from that and our arrival the day before: Maloof Money Cup South Africa Open Ceremonies.

The Show Has Started

The opening ceremonies last night for the Maloof Money Cup here in Kimberley, South Africa were pretty amazing. Here's a small sample.

The Big Five and Some Skateboarding

We just arrived on site at the Maloof Money Cup Skate Plaza in Kimberley, South Africa. I came out a few days early to see the cast of Lion King in real life and do the usual tourist mission. Here's a few photos from all that: Arrival in Kimberley, South Africa.

Next Time, Get a Foot Fetish

Clem and Justin recently rolled through NYC and hung out with Stefan Janoski for a bit, among other homies, for a trip to the Agenda trade show. I'm a little jealous they got to go over to his house and see his closet: Agenda NYC 2011.

Motorcycle Hair

Clem's got another camera dump from the road: Tampa to NYC for Street League.
