Kira Cheerin

last week i got a call from Davey, who asked a "favor." Kira was doing a cheer to jonas brothers "burning up" at the high school basketball game halftime and he was wondering if i could come along, bring the camera and make a little vid with music for her like i've been doing with skating. OF COURSE!so i showed up recording away and we had a blast. i tried to be a conscientious filmer, think i got some cool shots. :)
it took a few hours for the first edit, had all the clips perfectly set up, went to produce and FAIL!! the program crashed! NOOOO! the first time thru it's fresh and fun, 3 hrs of Jonas brothers later trying to start all over wasn't working out. SAVE YOUR PROGRESS PEOPLE! im sure you already knew. came home and listened to J-Bro's for another 5 hours or so because i knew Kira was excited and wanted to have this for her. in the end it seemed like i listened to this one song for 10hrs in one day. LOL
did some creative editing to get clips to fall into place with lyrics and the song just right. couldn't resist the OOOOH BAABAY! outro.
and i have to apologize for the super low video quality here, on my computer it looks terrible. will post a better resolution version on youtube.
Jonas Brothers "burning up"

switch hardflip!

it took me six months to work out hardflips. started on carpet and in a tiny space, worked up to moving and then took it to a little drop. i think too much and know all about what i'm doing with my tricks to get them to form, so was thinking (haha) about making some "trick tips" that are actually useful for some i feel qualified on. probably not a fair comparison but using the same feel from Regular, i've gotten my Switch Hardflips going in a couples weeks! if i can teach my self both ways it seems more valid. here are switch and regular with a spider i found lurking under the rampsadly this spider was too scary to live where ramp moving fingers might get bitten. i really do wish i'd had the courage to understand and move her somewhere better for both of us. :(
