rail 2.o

went back for some more.
never scratched on that 50's manny flip fall, by the way! hope these aren't too boring..

rail

i got a free broken skate rail that still had usable legs a while ago from, where else? craigslist! like almost everything else i own. yesterday i got creative and broke 4 or 5 drillbits drilling holes all the way through the broken (white) rail and into this amazing 10' stainless steel rail i've had for a few years. with 4 skate hardware bolts i'd wobbily attached legs to steel and wood and could skate it! obviously nothing spectacular here, was just trying to get out and have some fun.
HUGE thank you and props! to Shyrey for bringing his cam and taking the time and efforts to nicely film the stuff i'm in on these missions! and John too. there'd be no footage without that.
look for the vids i make to carefully flow with the music.

johns 21st birthday whatcom falls jump

on john's 21ST Birthday, we stepped up from the northfork bridge height and went to whatcom falls with the camera to do something fun and memorable!
i'm scared of heights, really trying to challenge myself to get used to it. this one is enough that the inexperienced (myself) think twice, and have to finally just pull the trigger and DO it if you're going to jump. i'd been to the whatcom falls "big one" once before and only jumped once. thing is, when we're in a group people tend to push each other.
a couple min video of this, our latest mission is in the works to be posted on youtube as well. until then, because it was full vid then slowmo tricks last time, i thought it would be fun to post slowmo first this time then round out with the movie to create a symmetry that only i would find noticeable.. mm?



john IS the 21 year old flying squirrel! regs then slow. FULL extension with perfectly formed landing.
Merry 21st Bday man!


colleen eyed it for a min gauging then WENT as soon as i got up there!! we were all tremendously impressed!
my height tester 180


shyrey hucked and spun his first jump, crazy from so far up! it's worth noting that his glasses are sitting on the rock while he does this.
so i had to do it too.

regular speed motion with the full cliff framed illustrates hang time


this is my favorite move again, with a little less spinning traded for more stylish tweaking. CORK the 5(40), gather while rotating out (180).
really felt extended on this one!

Merry Birthday John!!
