Another DIY spot shut down by the city, looked fun while it lasted. Listen has a good little montage from LB Free in Long Beach.

Learning to skate a mini ramp is the foundation of solid transition abilities, and a shit ton of fun on top of that. Billy Rohan walks you through the process of building a mini ramp in this 13 minute video from Quiksilver and VBS. Get those tranny skills in check!

As the saying goes, if you want something done right, do it yourself. I’m a big proponent of DIY in all aspects of filmmaking. After all, we’re not working Hollywood, or even Bollywood-size budgets over here. For my first DIY feature, I’m linking you to Ricki the Dude Bedenbaugh’s homemade camera dolly. If you can scrounge up $55 bucks and a friend who can weld, you can have a professional camera dolly that will add some serious production value to any of your projects.  Scroll down a little over halfway down this page and start reading at the post titled, “Jared Lucas is the Man…”

Ricki is enjoying a little time out of the editing cave during a break from working on the Element Shoes video, “Sole” due out in Spring 2010.  If you see him out and about, buy him a Coors Banquet and say thanks for the info.

I was looking through the newest Lowcard this morning and I came across this page on the “Beermuda Triangle”. You can check it out big here. It seems like the best kind of set-up, nice and mellow. Check it out, it might make you wanna scrap some pieces of wood together and build something new to skate or ride this weekend.

This place was on my list for so long. I’m happy to say I got to ride it. That place is a treat and I’m pretty sure you can thank the Old and New Dirt Brothers crew for most of the added jibbs. The best part is that even though it’s right near a shooting range for the cops, you can ride all day. If you’re still in high school you can skip school and ride too. There were three kids smoking weed doing just that when I went. Take the plunge.

It doesn’t have to be a huge production. Couple bumps off to the side of the road will be more fun than what’s there now.
