guizer sent me this one… wow, pretty hyped. a lot of the same emotions and feelings that i get everyday are captured so well throughout this flick. pretty powerful stuff…
everybody is a __________. that’s just it right? that’s where we’re at these days, is it not? there’s no doubt that in today’s digital era, there is bound to be a sea of mediocracy. shit straight up kinda sucks! but are you going to be that negative nancy that’s going to sit there and just complains about this sort of stuff, while it all continues to evolve around you? seriously, in today’s diy landscape, you gotta go get it! no joke, what’s available to us now, is a beautiful thing. while this whole movie really spoke to me in a variety of ways, one thing that really struck me was sort of the influence of execution. at about 1 hour 7 – 10 minutes into the movie, multiple interviewees described the sensation of a well executed and connected live experience. it’s dedicated passion that truly sells (figuratively) and seeps through that aforementioned vast ocean.
there are soo many facets that this flick beautifully touches on. in my opinion, this is truly THE movie that documents the story of this decade. it’s an absolutely incredible watch for the creative mind, and it can be bought here for anyone looking to support these swedish film makers… where will you be in 10 years when you look back on everything? thanks for sending me this bad boy gui!
ps. moby & seth godin are two very bald white males. they’re also bloody geniuses.
pss. relevant, f*ck SOPA.
asia…
soo hong kong just got a brand new skatepark…
i am actually watering at the mouth right now looking at this. besides this place and the po kong village skatepark…(that has been built for like a year now, but isn’t available for skating because the rest of the park is built up just yet), hk is going to be a heaven for transition skateboarding.
the homies at 8five2 just dropped a vid too! hollieday! hoping to get a copy in the mail sometime… piet… haha anyhow here’s some throwaway from the vid.
in the biggest news yet, i will hopefully be trekking out and shooting a wedding in japan this year, as my boy pulv is now engaged to the beautiful hana saito!!! soooo stoooked!
the last time i was in japan he was talking about putting a ring on it! since then, they have survived multiple earthquakes and a tsunami and are now about to tie the knot. could not be more stoked on any couple, more than i am for these two! gotta get back there soon!
on the road again…
over the next three weeks, i’ll be traveling across canada for work. got the g12 with me and will be snapping away! vietnam for about a month after that!
see you on the road!

“it’s in the book y’all!” – updated
finally caught a minute to scan a couple articles that i’ve been meaning to post in the tearsheets section! super blessed to have worked on these articles last year. thanks to everyone for all their support, especially the skaters featured in some of these bad boys!
also Ricky’s cover ended up finishing 3rd place overall! pretty hyped about it!
there were about 5000 votes and ricky ended up racking in just under 900 of those votes. can’t complain about that at all! thank to ricky and everyone who voted! 2011 was friggin’ incredible!
