Too Good To Pass Up

Tyler doing his thing, as Chris put it "too good to pass up"

Thoughts On Filming


Chris dropped this picture from the other day up at TT. I've had a similar conversation with at least 5 people and recognized that it was time to share my experience and recent thoughts. Actually trying to film is intense. My hands get sweatier behind the lens than when I'm actually trying to get a line. So much pressure behind making sure that the angle is right, you don't chop their head off, and that you end at just the right spot. Throwing in the skateboarding aspect and fisheye lens complicates this 10 times over. Not only am I stressed about capturing the trick but also not hitting a crack and smashing the camera. The new gear has definitely opened up a world of opportunities that previously seemed untouchable. Definitely excited about the new opportunities and what's just around the corner for CSK and the family projects.

When people stop being polite and start getting real, CSK NW Division

Chris posted these screen shots up on ZLOGBLOG for the new Northwest Division project and shared these words:

Heres a couple screen grabs from the CSK video that we’ve been working on for the past few months. Tylers got a bmx/fixed part thats done and Jruff and myself are getting close to finishing our parts. Hopefully wrapping it all up within the next few weeks.

Tony throws some serious heat in this quick clip for Machete and the CSK family. Stoked. Glad to see you got the shirt too!

Dave Beard, March 2012, Long Beach, California

Dave posted these few photos from a Long Beach adventure back in March on his site: here. If he just posted these from 6 months ago, I wonder what kinds of crazy stuff he's got from the summer!

Joe McKeag in August

Another solid edit from Joe. He showed this to me when I was down in Long Beach last week. Pretty jazzed on the double bar and taboggan bar as well as the oppo 3's and trucks.

Fixed Factory 1 Year Anniversary Power Labor Day Weekend Extravaganza with the CSK California Division



I went down to Long Beach to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of the Fixie Factory and Matt Spencer's jersey retirement from the house over Labor Day weekend. I was able to ride with most of the group and here is a small collection of what occurred. Included in the clips are Matt Spencer, Mike Dinh, Antonyo Wothe, Joe McKeag, Elliott Milner, Calvin Gunt, Corey San Agustin (making his debut after suffering from a broken foot). Additional support provided by Vincent Shim (rides to and from the airport and my new from wheel), Justin Congo Mitchell (for waking me up every morning with his smile), Kris Sundet for being an outstanding host and model CSK ambassador, and Kim for keeping a clean house.
Enjoy and see you sooner than later California. Thanks for the hospitality and great weekend.
Don't drop that thun thun thun.
