Went to CVR after the Church of Skate (CoS) this past Sunday. Myself, James, Chuck Powell, and the O’Neal brothers; Donnie (14) and Dylan (11) from Currituck, NC. You might see a slight Dave Maxwell influence in their skating.

Check out the HD version (best) or the SD version here.

Shot a few minutes of video on March 29, 2009. A few of the Artisan crew were skating as well as local Thomas Henson. The skatepark was not officially open at the time but it didn’t stop the hundred or so skaters that day. 

The park is supposed to “soft” open on April 4, 2009 and the City of Raleigh is planning a “Grand” Opening on May 2, 2009.

 Here are 2 videos of the Creature team in South America. It’s the usual “Creatures” in the video; Al Partanen, Darren Navarrette, Sammy “I grabbed Stacy’s ass and got punched” Baca, Emmanuel Guzman (Does Guzman ride for Creature?) and a few others.   There’s not much to say other these guys make great videos and skate different stuff.  Check out the half-pipe in the first video and the sick snake run in the second video.

These kids are skating on the roof of a park building when some old rent-a-cop rolls up and kicks them out.  He’s really really old and pissed. I’m guessing because that roof is popular with the local skaters (“Keep Off the Roof” is stenciled on the eve of the building).  He asks the coughing kid if he has AIDS.

 Local NC crew Post22 just realease another one of their insane videos. Pretty much all street skating except a small snippet of “Dirty’s” mini ramp towards the end.   These guys put out quality movies. Note; they say this is the last Post22 video to be shot with the VX100…guess it’s HD from now on!

 Mr. Phelps and crew visited Japan–and skated. This is some sick footage of some of the coolest and original skate spots. There’s some sort of spill-way bowl snake run thing, janky mini-ramps, sick wooden and concrete bowls, banks, jersey barriers and much much more.  This is real skateboarding. I’m not sure if any of these guys are pro, or even sponsored. The way they stoke each other is inspiring and makes you wanna go out and skate. [Read more →]

 The Skateboard mag just posted part 3 of a 3 part series on their southern Dekline tour (Issue #56). This video is mostly NC and Atlanta footage. I also saw some spillway footage (near Graham, NC?) and Crawdad Hole footage around the 1:20 mark.

 I know this is a skateboard blog but the new Canon EOS 5D Mark II just might change the way photogs and filmers document skateboarding.  Not only is this a 21 megapixel still camera but it’s also an HD (1080p) video camera. Check out a sample movie created with this camera after the jump.  Canon will sell the body-only for $2,699 or bundled with Canon’s 24-105mm f/4L IS USM zoom lens for $3,499

Normally any video capability on a still camera is just an afterthought and the quality of the video is only good enough for youtube.  This seems to be different.

 The Skateboard mag just posted part 1 of a 3 part series on their southern Dekline tour (Issue #56). This video is mostly Atlanta but I did spot some Raleigh, NC area full-pipe action.

 Just thought I would pass along a couple of sick skate videos from Strangenotes.com.  I’m sure most of you know about the StrangeNotes DVDs and their web site. Creature has a new DVD coming out soon called “HESHLAW”  so check it out along with a David Gravette Strangnotes’ “Checkin’ In” video after the jump.  David Gravette rips street, stairs, pools, and skateparks just the same.

If you have yet to check their blog out I suggest you do so. These are the guys that create the “Skatebook“. And they just consolidated all their videos into a single blog post/player so you don’t have to jump all over their blog to find the good stuff.
