Bike checkage!

2008-04-05T09:38:00.001-07:00

Nothing much happening this weekend, Not alot of riding going down, the weather isnt too good. So I thought I would do a new bike check, a little bit of goodness for you to check out. More next week, going to be a busy one with Lifestyle so I will hopefully have some new edits to post. Peace!

Lifestyle Edit

2008-03-31T10:40:00.000-07:00

Last week was a bit of a mad one so where do i begin, first, all of the lifestyle footage i shot was loaded onto Final Cut with no problem, so I start putting together an edit which was to be posted on the blog as a taster of things to come, I put together an edit which when finished lasted around one and a half minuites, just as I was about to export the movie, all of the media goes offline......a big problem! I find the footage again and the same thing happens. So a couple of hours work and now no edit, this really pissed me off, I was then told that the Final Cut program was faulty.....no shit. Not to worry, all the footage is safe and I finished an edit today which will hopefully be posted tomorrow....I'd best go before I start to ramble haha. Peace!

Freecoaster!

2008-03-19T06:06:00.000-07:00

I got the new federal freecoaster in silver laced on to a black Demolition Zero rim with rasta spokes a couple ov weeks ago, it feels nice and smooth but its going to take a while to get used to it. I'm feeling the rasta spokes though braap! Peace!

new stuff!

2008-03-15T06:06:00.000-07:00

Lifestyle!

2008-02-08T07:36:00.000-08:00

2008-01-21T14:15:00.000-08:00

My Show Reel 2008!

2008-01-16T06:19:00.000-08:00

This is my show reel for my animation elective, the idea was to create something nice and simple, with colourful imagery and a simple edit, a nice soundtrack which suits the show reel. I used a mixture of things to create this such as Flash, Photoshop, hand drawn and Final Cut Pro to edit. hope you enjoy it. Peace D!

show reel edit! Team update!

2008-01-13T11:35:00.000-08:00

After weeks and weeks of working on my show reel, its almost ready for me to start editing which is an amazing relief, i will try to post up a small edited version tomorrow if not, the original edited show reel will be up on the site by the end of the week. In bmx news, the Unluky team have just been taking it easy over the holidays, jimmy's been working and getting our flat ready, matty has spent most of christmas in the pub, rezin d has been working on some new music, craig is getting married in a few months which i shall be attending, myself i have just been working and not riding, the weather is discusting, will be back riding in no time.

These are character sheets from my new project I'm working on called 'Lifestyle'. Its a short bmx film with animation layed over the top, its going to be quite a fast flowing film which the animation should go well with the riding, the riders in this so far are most of the Unluky crew, Mat Noble, Jason Saddler, Jimmy T, and myself, we will all have a little section each, more on this soon, I will post up a short video in the next couple of weeks as a little taster.

Got the new issue of DIG BMX magazine (issue 59), has a nice interview with Sheffield street shredder Josh Bedford, ever wandered what happened to Volume bike's brakeless fiend Will Taubin? Buy it and find out, or if ure skint just ask someone who has allready read it. Hoping for sunny days this coming week to ride, film and get some more riding pics up! peace!
