I bought the new iPod nano yesterday and decided to film a little day in the life. Vimeo link: www.vimeo.com/6527854

I had to delete the comment system/content manager on the site. I was getting too much spam.

Oscar and I made this for fun.

I finally got around to uploading Luis's and Eddie's montage to the site in the flash player. I noticed the site's navigation was rendering out very messed up in Internet Explorer 6. I fixed the problem for the most part. I highly recommend you get firefox or Safari. Or at least update to Internet Explorer 7 at the very least.
I'm still trying to change all the videos to play in the flash player by default. It's a slow process, but it's getting done. Edit: Wow, the homepage looked horrible in Internet Explorer 6. I didn't even realize. It's fixed now though.August 17, 2009
A quick clip of me at the downtown skatepark. Filmed by David.

Everyone should check out this site. He puts my photos to shame.

I updated the Prologue DVD videos. You can now watch them in the flash player. The big advantage of the flash player is the ability to watch the videos in full screen. If you have flash player 9 or 10 installed the flash videos should be the same quality as the quicktime videos. Which is basically DVD quality.
Also I recently made a test video with the Panasonic HMC150 and the Opteka 72mm 0.4X fisheye. You can watch that video here.

I made this to test out the low light footage from the Canon 5D Mark II. Everything was filmed with a Nikon 50mm f/1.8 lens at f/1.8. The shutter was set to 1/30 and the ISO was at 500. I think the footage came out really well for how dark it was. The skating is nothing special. We were just skating to make this test video.
July 3, 2009
Here is a short montage of me skating for once. Everything was filmed with a Canon 5D Mark II with the stock mic. The lens I used on the 5D was a Nikon 50mm f/1.8 with an adapter. I wish I could have got a few more tricks, but the Houston heat is too much at times.
July 2, 2009
I picked up a Canon 5D Mark II the other day. Not only is it a full frame 21.1 MP camera, but it shoots full HD 1080p video. Check out some of the video frame grabs that I recently filmed here. They are all test shots. Nothing serious.

We found a new ledge! This one is even better. Sure this isn't the greatest photo, but I wanted to post something to show it off. Oh, and everyone should check out Jason Hernandez's new Nike SB am video "Debacle". R.I.P. Michael Jackson. :(

Does this spot look familiar to you? Well probably not anymore. Our perfect little ledge has been torn down. You can see what it use to be in most of my newer videos or photos. Goodbye old friend.
June 1, 2009
I uploaded a new video. I made it to see how smooth 720/60p (60 fps) looks at half the speed.
April 20, 2009
I went skating today by myself and took these pictures. I uploaded them in the photos section. I love self-timers.
April 20, 2009
Since it's 420 I might as well post up this video frame grab.
April 17, 2009
I added links to the oldler updates at the bottom of the page. I also updated every page with my vimeo link at the bottom right on all the pages.
April 16, 2009
Haha, I found this old vector art image I made of Moe a few years ago. It's still funny to me. It was the first vector image I made.
April 15, 2009
This has nothing to do with the site, but I think everyone should check this out anyway. It blew my mind.
April 9, 2009
I took off some of the older updates on the home page for the site to load faster. If you (for whatever reason) want to look at the older updates here they are: 2007 & 2008.
April 8, 2009
Today is my birthday! I turned 23. Damn, I'm old. I filmed this today for fun.
April 6, 2009
I uploaded a clip of Eddie doing a nollie big heel at the downtown skatepark.

These pages are also updated with the links at the bottom: Julio - Two Park Tricks \ Letus Extreme Test \ On The Juice \ Luis the Beast.

I added links for other video formats on Moe's Montage and Southside Clips. This way you can watch the videos in flash or quicktime format. I'll be updating all the other videos with this feature soon.

Moe and I went skating at a local ledge spot. I decided to bring my camera and make a montage. Moe doesn't skate nearly as much as he use to. I haven't filmed him in a long time. This was all filmed in about two hours. He's slowly getting his tricks back. The camera I used was a Canon HF10 with a 37mm century fisheye and a letus extreme adapter. The lens on the adapter was a Nikon 50mm f/1.8.

March 9, 2009
I uploaded a new video under "random videos" of Julio skating the downtown skatepark. If you were wondering it's filmed with a Canon HF10 + 37mm century fisheye setup. Oh and I stop taking pictures for project 365 back in February. It got too time consuming sadly. :(
February 4, 2009
I uploaded the Southside Clips montage. It's only in flash format for now. If it's not working for you let me know.
January 20, 2009
Here are a few clips I got at southside skatepark a few days ago. For now it's just on youtube. I'll put it on the site in a few days. Also I'm still updating the project 365 page just about every other day so keep checking it out.
January 3, 2009
I'm not sure if you ever heard about project 365, but I'm going to start doing it as a fun little project. You can check it out here or on my flickr page. I'll be updating the pictures at least every other day.
