Homage To Venice
The Venice Beach scene in the 1980's was a spectacle to behold. Ramps were placed against the walls of the pavillion and a style of aggressive skating never before seen was born. Huge wallrides, layback grinds on top of the walls, and all done with sick style. Heavy hitters like Christian Hosoi, Block, Scott Oster, Aaron "Fingers" Murray, Tim Jackson, Jef Hartsel, Eric Dressen, Jesse Martinez, Joey Tran and so many more. Today the pavillion has been torn down but the beach has a nice concrete skate park. The influence of the Venice and Dogtown skaters is undeniable and will remain forever.
A Different Point of View
Sometimes it's all about the POV, or point of view. I began shooting DIY skate shots on a 10 second timer when I would skate just to see how janky I looked while skating. A form of self critique. Then I began shooting video clips. The static shots are a total beat now that I am lacking editing software but that's life. And life is what I present to you. Get on board, roll, skate, live.
