Nobody is entitled to your peace. Disagreement is a normal, healthy part of any friendship, but disrespect isn't. Feeling I have to cut a friend off is super rare, but the relief is immediate and I don't regret what I've left in the past.
I had a good year. My show reel is actually a little memory buffer.
Vert is having a moment, I appreciate Tom Schaar and am happy for my transition loving homies. But I'm not watching
It would be great if the government forced studios and streaming services to separate the way they did with studios and theater chains back in the day.
Sometimes my lack of progression on my skateboard over the last year bums me out, but lately I've come to appreciate the fact that my progression was simply redirected.
A Jacob Rosenberg/Ted Barrow hosted podcast about EMB? I thought Christmas was in December?
I helped design this fun little guy for our plaza today. Disregard the colors.
As a lifelong fan of fighting games, I should be excited that "cancel" has entered the skate lexicon, but I'm not.
It's been a long time since they put somebody established with relevant skill on Girl, but you know Lil Dre should be on Chocolate
The way you can't see Zion or Ishod's faces honestly felt disrespectful. You get 1 or 2 clips like that, somebody should be having a hard convo with the filmer. Hopefully they learn from it, because this is some of the worst work I've seen in a modern full length video.
Nigel.@audubonsquare.bsky.social · 12mo agoEverything the new Huf video did right, the Real video did wrong. Lots of under exposed, jittery 120p footage thrown onto a 30p in a video so trapped in the early 2000s that its musical choices are matched only be the number of clips left in mono with fucked up white balance. A Real slog.

The new Huf video is the best piece of filmmaking I've seen in a skate video in some time.
Really happy with my progress as a filmmaker over the past year. Still plenty of room to improve, but I'm getting there.
I have such a soft spot for student filmmakers when I sell old gear. Fellow professional wants $5 off? Sorry, item is already heavily discounted. Bright eyed 20 year old can only afford to offer 60% of the asking price? Sure kid, go live your dream.
Has anybody done more to muddle their legacy while remaining industry adjacent than Koston? Seems like people just want him to go away.
Best part about ADHD is feeling well rested after a full night's sleep, having a huge cup of coffee, taking a healthy dose of dr prescribed meth, then staring blanky at your desktop praying for motivation only to be confronted with an utter lack of positive energy, to the extent of yawning. 1/3
Sight Unseen was the first video I bought myself and I maintain the fact that 20+ years later, if you're trying to show somebody real skating for the first time, you'd still struggle to find something as complete as Sight Unseen.
All kinds of homie shout outs in the Ryan Lay 9 club episodes
After discussing suspension of disbelief as a measure of success in building a street spot, how that applies to the use of materials and layout, and how I want to be tricked into thinking I'm at a street spot, I told them I want to build a park @mostlyskate.bsky.social would actually go skate.
Nigel.@audubonsquare.bsky.social · last yr.I condensed 3 years worth of skate conference teachings on skateparks and shares public spaces into a 10 minute power point and the skatepark design process went from "How many slightly different handrails can we cram in" to "how do turn the seating arrangement for the rock wall into a skate spot?"

Hearing Daniel Wheatley talk about how Girl fumbled Antonio Durao really hammers home the fact that they're kin to a bad sports organization that lucks their way into success. They're the Jets, they're the Browns, they're the Texans.
As a PC user "Macbook only has 2 ports and one of them is for the charger" seems like a bad joke I made up off the top of my head, but its actually a nightmare I'm actively living as I transfer footage onto a friend's computer hoping the transfer time continues to narrowly outpace the battery life.
