Milton Blading

I had some time to play around with After Effects and transformed my low quality clips into a slow motion piece. I had fun doing it, and I hope that others realize that learning a bit of post production can make some of the low quality footage usable.

November Weekend

So, this will be our last edit for a bit. We’ve decided to stop putting out so many of them and save the footage. There will still be the usual picture posts, articles, and random clips here and there. Expect a new edit sometime early this winter. Anyways, this was going to be one of the last nice weekends to street skate so we made the most of it. Here’s what we put together. Enjoy.

Roll Toronto International – London UK visit

I was lucky enough to go away on a vacation with my girlfriend to London, UK for 10 days or rest and relaxation.  In that short week we packed in lots of tourist sight seeing, amazing meals with new and old friends all the while fitting in a bit of skating.

The week before I had left for this trip, due to my own stupidity, I had accidentally unstitched the base of the right skin on my Nimh, making the right skate un usable.  With no time to get to it re-stitched, I dusted off an old Razors Shima 3 boot and slapped on the Nimh Soul plates, creating a usable pair of skates. I packed my Sagona/Kelso jockin’ boots along with me to try and get some skating in on a new continent.

The first opportunity to skate in London was at the infamous South Bank Park.  Basically it’s a legal area on the south bank of the Thames River where skateboarders, bladers and bmx’ers are allowed to skate some weird flat banks, a few covered ledges and graffiti artists are allowed to paint walls.  I met local 11-year-old Reuben skating all by himself, hucking 180’s and some grinds on the small ledges.  Big up Reuben for hooking me up with a sweet Adidas notebook!

Later that week, through the beauty of the Internet I was able to meet up with London street shredder and OG Blake Bird at the Mile End tube stop for some park skating.  FYI, Blake and the London heads are putting together a new video; watch out for some fresh skating in the coming months.

The park was rammed with bikers and skateboarders but we both managed to get some fun tricks in.
