Phoenix Am
ESPN posted my footage of PHX Am. This time I sent the footage their way to edit which worked out great, cause I'm working on a big job for Next Agenda at the moment and couldn't cut it myself. Thanks to Adam Salo for hooking it up.
I rolled down to the contest with RNCK crew. If you want to see what was up with that check out my friend Christian's blog Stick It, he's got all the photos up there.
Stay tuned for my video of the trip. We're piloting a RNCK show and I should have it cut up in a few weeks. It's epic.
For contest results go here.

Letter to Ross Mirkarimi District 5 San Francisco
Skatepark construction at the Waller St. site in San Francisco is in danger of being derailed at this last possible moment. Please send this letter (courtesy of the San Francisco Skatepark Association) to Supervisor Mirkarimi of District 5 to let him know that we would very much appreciate his support.
His email address is:
ross.mirkarimi@sfgov.org
His mailing address is:
721 Webster St
San Francisco, California 94117
Dear Supervisor Mirkarimi,
Thank you for your hard work in support of skateboarding in San Francisco. As you know San Francisco has a rich tradition of skateboarding culture. Over the past decade skateboarding has become a mainstream sport all over the world, but The City has been slow to build adequate facilities to support the growth of this youth recreational activity.
To this end you have championed the creation of the first skate park in your district at Waller St. in Golden Gate Park. We the voting members of the San Francisco Skateboarding Association applaud you for this effort.
Recently a small group of people have tried to derail this "once in a lifetime chance" to bring a world class skate facility and much needed public multi-use space to the
greatest park in America. We believe that their complaints stem from ignorance and outdated stereotypes about one of the most popular youth activities in America. Skateboarding is the 6th largest participant sport in the United States, and the third largest sport for children between the ages of 6 - 18. It is more popular than basketball and baseball for children in that age group.
Studies show that in San Francisco, children can not safely travel more than two miles for recreational activities. How strange would it be if the children of your district had no basketball courts or baseball diamonds within two miles of their homes? The only skate parks in San Francisco are Crocker Amazon and Portero Del Sol in the Mission. The children of District 5 deserve the modern equivalent of a baseball diamond. They need this park.
In fact this park will not only serve the children of the Haight, but also the Panhandle, Marina, Richmond, Sunset, Cole Valley, and the Western Addition. The fact is that many more people will benefit from this skate park and the surrounding public space improvements than the small number of people that oppose it. Public activation of the Waller St. space will bring youth activities, a farmers market, and possibly a seasonal ice rink to your district. It will bring a vibrant positive space to what is now a dead end street.
Critics of the plan claim that the skate park will bring noise and unwanted vandalism. We believe these complaints can be addressed at upcoming community based design meetings. After the Portero Del Sol skate park was built, the gang related activity, drug abuse, and homeless residents all but vanished from that park. We believe that the construction of a skate park in your district would have a similar impact in the Haight.
Please don't waver in the face of ignorance. Please continue to support the youth of San Francisco, especially the youth of your district. Please continue to be our champion.
Concerned Skater and Citizen,

Make It Happen: Lost Film Fest on Youtube
This morning we uploaded Lost Film Fest to Youtube... in two parts. No more videos longer than ten minutes on the Tube. I have to say that it's now official, we prefer Vimeo. Check out our Vimeo Page and the new Make It Happen Channel.
On the upside, Youtube didn't strip the audio. If you like the Gogol Bordello song in the first part, now you can click and buy it. It's the last song in the video though, not the first.
For a full list of credits click here.

Make It Happen: Lost Film Fest
This documentary encapsulates a couple of nights we spent following around Scott Beibin and Liz Cole of the Lost Film Fest/ Evil Twin Booking Agency. It features shows at the Bubble House in Philadelphia, PA and the Change You Want to See Gallery in Brooklyn, NYC.
The video was produced for our Make It Happen Project. Make It Happen is a series of short documentaries profiling creative people that are pursuing their dreams through DIY projects.
Thanks to Scott Beibin and Liz Cole for letting us stick cameras in their faces, for setting up shows, giving us access to a plethora of films and photos (and for being patient).
We wish that this video came close to capturing the carnival atmosphere of activism and underground culture swirling around Scott and Liz. If they ever roll through your town, you must check them out. Until then, enjoy.

Lost in Making it Happen
That little blue progress bar represents how close we are to uploading Make It Happen: Lost Film Fest. It's been a long time coming.
We've been stealing an hour here (and a week there) to work on the project between paying gigs. We're hoping that one day the trickling of videos will become a down pour. Until then, enjoy the Lost Film Fest screens below. The video is coming shortly. For more information about the Make It Happen Project click here.
...And if you don't feel like clicking, you can watch "Make It Happen: Lowcard" (An official selection at the Skateboard Film Festival) right now:
Stay tuned for Make It Happen: Lost Film Fest.

Epic Beard Man Documentary
It was shot on a Canon 7D and looks beautiful (also fascinating). Thanks for the heads up Whit.
... On a side note, I had no idea he was the same guy from Heavy Metal...
