If something like this happened to me I have no idea what I would do. A healthy young woman is physically devastated by a reaction to this years flu shot. How many times do they have to say “rare” in this news story? Not enough to convince me. I would rather just get the flu than ever get a vaccine after watching this.
I have really been straining to make my filming look different. I am just tired of my old style, and the look of HD digital precision. It was always my dream to shoot film but I think that dream is slowly dwindling. It’s just becoming unpractical and ridiculously expensive. I shot a few rolls of 8mm last year and have still been unable to get them developed and transferred because of funds….story of my life. Im really excited to get it developed eventually though, I dont even remember what I filmed with it so it should be a pretty fun surprise. Lately I have almost been shooting completely with my Red Rock lense adaptor. It gives everything a little more natural look, instead of ultra sharp lines and unnatural enhanced colors. I guess everything just looks so much more real through that thing and you can really focus on what you’re filming. Here are some shots of the faces of the people I have been filming lately. There will be more short videos coming soon.
Fellow room mate and ultimate shredder Jeff House headed up to Tennessee for a rail jam. I did not take the road trip so I could get a little work done, but while up there he took a quick set with some of his old crew here is what JAO Pro got.
I recently made my first purchase in a long time from Northwest Riders. Like everyone my one and only sponsor feels the pressure from the economy but that is not to deture them from coming out with cool new awesome things like there new flat billed hats. They call it the Hank Mardukas and it is one of the most comfortable flat bills I have ever wore. Flat bills dont normally fit me very well due to my enormous head, but with this one I have no problems. They come in black and grey with a big NWR logo off centered to the right. If you dont have one you should definately go and pick one up.

I just saw this video on alliancewakeskate.com and it is awesome. Im not normally one to like wakeskating to much unless its a select few riders. This video is shot in Texas with Clint Tompkins and his cronies. Apparently the awesomeness of a red camera was there to capture the magic. The colors and the speed changes are amazing in this, not to mention the cool ass graphics in the end. I need to learn how to do that.
I dont know what it is about this song but I really like it. It kinda has the same feel of Frou Frou or Imogen Heap. This is Marina and the Diamonds, aparently she had to go through a grueling 16 hour shoot which involved three full body paint jobs and required Marina to memorize and perform the song’s vocals in reverse. The whole reverse thing gives you a kind of cool effect to make the movement look a little unnatural. I did this alot peep it fo sho.
The past couple of days I have been coming over to JD Webbs house to get some filming done and get my shred on. The lake here is amazing, deep with no one on it so its prime for shredding. He recently got a box of sandles and ended up giving me a pair. Although my feet at 12s and all he had were 10s I am still able to get my feet in there. After only two days of wearing them they are streched out nicely and formed to my foot. I really like his Reef sandle because it is a no gimmick kind of sandle. No bottle opener, flask, or stash spots in these babys, just a classic comfortable Reef sandle. He told me that they are discontinuing his line unfortunately due to cut backs, so get to your proshop as soon as you can and snatch up a pair before they are all gone.

The past two days I have been filming with Sean Kilgus for his new video DEFY. It is a video that is focused around Danny Harf and its going to be nothing but amazing. We were shooting the two days out at a secret lake which is as blue as Hawaii water and no one else is there. Its cool to be out in the woods with no houses on the water and once that boat engine stops its silent. It feels like I am in the back country for a snowboard shoot. No body else except for the people working on the project, no other distractions, just everyone pushing eachother to get some bangers. If I could shoot every single day like that I would. I am really excited to keep working on this project. Danny and Sean really want to do this video right, like “Thats it Thats All” style. Me=Stoked!
For so long now the iPhones have dominated the airwaves with there awesome apps and there touch screens. It looks like Verizon has finally tried to get something together to beat the iphone. Apparently it is the Motorola Droid. There have been a few comecials out that seem you be bashing the iphone and telling what the new verizon phone will have. For a long time now i have longed for an iPhone for one the internet on it is amazing and the apps are also amazing. having your phone be everything in one really makes things more convinient and fun to show off to your friends. It looks like the droid will have a touch screen, it has multi apps ability, a 5 mega pixel camera, widgets, and night vision…..all signs point to awesome? Only time will tell with the droid due out in November….hopefully the dont mess it up.
