Em...sponsor me...pretty please?

[offthewallsk8er]

Haha. This isn't really sponsor me footage, but it kind of is. I've been skating for a few weeks under a year, and yea...this is my first streaming footage EVER shown to you guys, so I hope you enjoy it. These next couple clips are from a few hours of skating and filming at the only indoor park within thirty miles of lansing, and as you can tell the park sucks. The floor was slippery, limited obs I plan on throwing some street, switch, and peru footage i took down there into the mix of even more better filmed stuff from here and sending it to split up skateboards. I just need to figure out how to edit them together, cause right now I only have seperate links. This is raw footage, no editing or anything done at all to them, taken with a digital camera. So forgive.

Read the little descriptions down on the bottom for what happened.
I will edit more in soon.
Peace

[skater4life19]

your going to have to do more tricks

[edward]

not bad. just pick up some editing software, you can probably find some almost decent stuff for pretty cheap.

[unclemag]

How long have you been skating? Thats good footage, if you've been skating for 3 months.

[Sk8 Shorty's]

for 3 months, thats good.
but sorry to burst your bubble, but you might barely get sponsored by a skatepark or shop.

[Sam Gates]

Yeah bro. Dont worry to much about the sponcer if you havent been skating that long. It doesnt look like your in condition to be sponcered anyway. peace

[edward]

I've been skating for a few weeks under a year

some of you guys need to learn to read.

[media12]

u ever go to modern or skatezoo, modern is sick just expensive, the lansing park is a tad boring for me.

[offthewallsk8er]

Wow. Thank you, I didn't know it was even that good. Filming is something I just like to naturaly do, not something I feel forced to. Em...apparently, they won't let me edit more in to my original thread, so here are a few more teck flips in a line. O yea, please, let me know how my style is. I heard that it doesn't matter how the tricks or filmed or by who when sending it in, if the skating's good, they'll get the point. Is that true?

-tell me which looks better between this, and the other big spin, please. i kind of had a dilemma about which one to choose. the one on the 8 is sketchier, but higher. the one on the spine is lower, but cleaner.

Oh! Sick! Media your from michigan too? How can you call ranney boring bro? They got light, smooth, refreshing tranny, a beautiful bowl, and a great street and bank set up. The whole park flows, and its free! Me, you ed sk8 shortys and whoever else lives in the rippin mitten needs to get together and go shread at a park. Im up at novi and grand rapids whever I can get a ride up there, so I mean wherever works. Any of you ever been to simplicity?

[sk8erdude333]

go for the low one if its cleaner, try to practice on that for a while then move on to the big one so its clean too. by the way.... nice.

[live2sk8]

your noy gunna get sponcered on that stuff.... trick som street, you know, the kind out side!

[sk8erdude333]

oo i agree. skating street is like the best way to skate, for me, i like doing sets, flip tricks flat ground, all that good stuff.

[edward]

yeah i'm up at modern and simplicity at least one a week. in fact i was at simplicity last night, and friday. actually i was at modern for the demo on friday and then went to simplicity after to skate.

[offthewallsk8er]

yea. damn. i didn't go to that. i really planned on it, i swear, but then i called and i heard it would just be dill kalis getz and gall, and it cost 19 to skate with them and my bros and i weren't up on going anymore. moderns jack, eff modern.
your noy gunna get sponcered on that stuff.... trick som street, you know, the kind out side!
It's shit outside where I live, thats why I haven't been able to get any. Damn man, it clearly says that I live in michigan, what do you think this is, florida? The highs like 25 here everyday and snow and ice everywhere.
Please tell me which of the bigspins I should keep. I still can't decide. And tell me what you think of my bag of flip tricks and style. Well I haven't been able to film many single tricks but I do have a fakie frontside flip(the harder way) thrown in that line i posted a few up.

[bakerIscekzi]

u need to learn every thing you have in fakie, switch, and nollie + alot more if you want to consider getting sponsered even by a local skateshop sorry if I sound mean

[edward]

yeah, it was ok, i liked the dc demo that was there in november better tho. tim o'conner was also there early on. it was 19 to skate but its like you could get much skating done anyways because it was so crowded so i just chilled outside the park and watched.

i liked the bigspin on the bigger quarterpipe.

[offthewallsk8er]

Thanks Ed :)
Was Dill ripping? I didn't see him skate a hand rail once during Skate More.
Who killed it the most though? I bet it was Getz with his nollie flips.

[falloffboy101]

Nice stuff man, I like your shit.

[edward]

yeah dill and getz skated the best. yeah dill just isn't really a rail skater, he doesn't skate one in mosaic either. not like its a bad thing, sometimes i get tired of watchin people skate the same rails with the same type of tricks over and over again.

[Blind Sheppard]

LIES...he gaps over the set of steps to feeble on that rail in that empty plaza thing.

[edward]

yeah he does, i was talking about actual handrails. he does two rails in skate more also. he does feeble across that flat gap and also fs 180 switch crook on the pyrimid to bike rack. well three if you count that manual boardslide to feeble. but he doesn't skate a stairset or actual handrail in his parts. and if i got to skate that plaza spot i would film half my part there too, that place is all i would need. he does skate some stairs in his part in photosynthesis tho.

[live2sk8]

yea. damn. i didn't go to that. i really planned on it, i swear, but then i called and i heard it would just be dill kalis getz and gall, and it cost 19 to skate with them and my bros and i weren't up on going anymore. moderns jack, eff modern.

http://www.youtube.com/?v=ngSv_Fw3c4Q
Wow. So fricking cold.

[offthewallsk8er]

O yea, I have the option of getting either premier, or vegas. Which should I get, why, and i was thinking about re downloading limewire and getting it from there even though i had to delete it because it gave my comp viruses because it would be free. Or I can buy it.
Thanks.

[offthewallsk8er]

o yea, regular vegas seems to be alot cheaper than 6.0. whats the difference and is it worth it to spend the money and such?

[SlimJim_junky]

Just download it.

...Legally, of course.

[isk8darkstar]

^^^ what that guy said
and dude you really need to take your whole address out of your location thing im so tempted to like order porn for you lol

[edward]

^hahahhahahahhahahahha

[offthewallsk8er]

I'd gladly except a free order of porn.
Thanks.

[edward]

ok its been ordered. jailhouse monster cocks should be at your door any day now.

[FIGHT!]

ok its been ordered. jailhouse monster cocks should be at your door any day now.

Dude, WTF? I thought you were sending that to me!

[edward]

^ i did, i got a 2 for 1 deal! and because i ordered it now, i got the best of big black bubba for free! and super duper express lightspeed teleporter shipping! both of those should already be at your doorstep!

[Whitney]

your pretty good but you should make some videos with more tricks in them.

[offthewallsk8er]

Time out. Did you really send an order of porn?
Shit.
And man this has been so crazy rather than filming all I've been doing is improving all my tricks and out of banks at our outdoor park(yeah, it finally is getting up to 50 around here)I can kickflip over three decks and I'm practicing my runs for the Modern Comp. over the summer. I'm going to win that-hold me to it ed. You gonna come up for the lansing park comp? It's gonna be sick man. I'll be up at novi one or another so I'll see you there. I recently got back into stair skating and blew out my ankle on an eight. It went BOOM and got blue.

Im gonna rant: number one what the **** is up with all these drive by posters who come here ask how to ollie and throw a diss at someone then dissapear? Can't we just clear all inactive users who dont show for like 2 months?

number two: who the hell made that gay rule that you have to soul skate and skate with homies and you cant skate for anything else. i hate it when people rag on you and go "i heard you went girl crazy back a few months and stopped skating" and im all what the **** man i have the right to step back from skating so when i come back to it i appreciate it more. just because im not up jumping that six with you for a few weeks doest mean i quit and if there was a rule that you had to start skating for yourslef and couldnt do it for chicks and popularity then im out I ADMIT damnit i just feel like ranting right now because when there all like yo soul skate brah learn tricks for yourself no one else i mean damn if i see some do a frontside flip backwards and i say i want that im gonna learn it and do it for THEM and another thing is is that i may not have started skating only for chicks and popularity but it did go along with it and it was a huge bonus. i mean everyday EVERY ****ing day im out for 20 mintues just going around doing pivoted front 180s and kickflips and half cab flips and big spins at 8 in the monring(way to early) and everyones like WHOA damn dude that was tight and its not even good. i mean its hard to turn away that and then me and all the locals were talking about how any ****ing person put in bams position would take the fame and fortune in a heartbeat i dont give a damn who you are. and theres some people who can get that attention and still be themselves but the majority will sell out, i would too. when i have 300 kids come up to me at a demo with my board and beg me to sign it of course its going to go to your head. people like daewon are the only that can keep it under. and whats up with this generation thing too? nick(hes 23 been skating since he was 13 or 14) is explaing how when he was mine and matt weins age(ed you may know him? hes flowed by quik and vans and sponsored by moern and aka)he said he could do an ollie and maybe a kickflip. now he sees kids skating for a year and all of the sudden there front side flipping off of the box or something fresh like that and then john hes the same age and hes like yeah for sure i mean i see people doing these fresh tricks i NEVER would have thought of. i mean its crazy how you get 13 year olds winning golds in the xgames i mean sooner or later were gonna have a 5 year old competiting with tommy sandoval in the tampa am.
this shits rad man. i know i made no sense, and im not high. i swear. if you read it a few times maybe youll get something out of it.

[edward]

well if you didn't get the porn then i don't know where it is.

do you have any set dates for these comps? especially the modern one? man, i don't practice at all for comps, not my style. but i'll hold you to it, you go win that mutha****a! i'll probably come up to the lansing one, i don't know if i'll compete, that park is set up for more transition skatin, and i'm more street so i don't know how i would do in that.

sucks about your ankle, hope that gets better soon. i've been gettin back into the stairs lately too because its startin to warm up now.

and about all that other shit, try not to let it get to you. just skate, have fun. thats what its all about. nobody is makin you do anything in skateboarding, you don't feel like skatin today, don't skate. you feel like bangin some chick, go right ahead, i'm not gonna hold it against you because you didn't skate for a couple of weeks or something. thats the beauty of skating, nobody is making you do shit. skating you can skate alot or alittle. skate a rail today, or if you don't feel like it, skate a manual pad instead. anybody that talks shit about you because you didn't skate as much for a while or something should be kicked in the nuts, **** those people.

[offthewallsk8er]

number one, why the hell aren't you a mod.

and theyre not set on the dates yet, but it will be in july. ranney is my home park and im up there everyday so i just get alot out of it. we squeez every but of street we can get out of it. we ollie to flat on the quarters and banks and they become stairs and i mean..i dont know, ive just learned to skate that park so well that i feel more and more confident everyday. i just need to win and try to go as big as i can. if i dont make it as a professional i dont know what im going to do. i cant see myslef working a 9 to 5. ive been skating for a year and a month and i feel so addicted and out of control. im sucha mellow guy at heart and i rarely get angry but i asked for a ride up to the park today and they said no, and i just went and chucked my phone and the attenna broke off and got down for a few hours. i mean i know it sounds retarted but during school man all i can think is i cant wait to go skate. the park is the only place i feel at home. my board is my home. man ive seen those comps up at novi and the BEGGINERS FREAKIN rip man. im gonna go there grand rapids lansing wherever i can get a ride win or place in as many as possible and go to the superdome for the last chance contest, learn the park, spend the night there and rip it up the next day. even if it is only begginer you still get 300 dollars to modern and decks and wheels and clothing and free passes to there parks and such. i mean ive only been skating since it warmed up LAST year so im just stoked to feel so confident on my board. i dont know man i love you all so much and i feel like im growing as a skater so fast and i want it all right now and this is what skating really is.
good night.

[edward]

me a mod? psh maybe i'm just too cool to be a mod :D

yeah you just get so comfortable with the park you skate all the time. and i get that 9-5 thing, that blows. i can't take school either, i think about nothing but skating, i deffinetly can't get a desk job, maybe something where i'm up and around. i've been addicted to skating for almost 4 years now, i still feel the same way, i can't get over it. if you wanna win all those comps, more power to ya, go for it dude, push yourself. yeah the modern comps are sick, jennings was up there last year, that dudes got mad switch bs tails and switch bs lips, he always kills it. i dunno, i gotta get into some more comps this year, i don't try to stress over them tho, i just go, do my best, we'll see what happens. i hope you can get a ride to all those comps too, if you lived closer i would gladly give ya a ride, it deffinetly was alot harder to hit up spots and stuff before i had a car and stuff like that, there was a couple of older guys that could take us, but it was mostly biking it, and that sucks.

[AdioBird52]

But you definately should be.

[edward]

^ its not really up to me, somebody feels like makin me a mod then go right ahead.

[offthewallsk8er]

ok two great things to report: speaking of jennings darin and josh robertson were up shredding lansing the yesterday, and today i jumped another bigger six, and the back of an 8 stair. read them descriptions. haha it looks like a have a cig in my hand but i have a taped finger when i tried to jump that eight and blew my ankle. i landed so hard on my finger. i hate that.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ite3n9K-lik
http://youtube.com/watch?v=cgca0J17fqE
http://youtube.com/watch?v=gA-_dSjBYqk

[edward]

yeah i always end up skatin the 9-11 sesh with darin up at simplicity, and jennings and robertson once or twice. darin's a little closer to my skill level tho so its sick to skate with him (well, except for minipipe, he ****in kills that!)

good job on the stairs, that spot looks pretty cool. and yeah i hate landin on hurt stuff too, usually with me tho its like jamming my toe and then re-jamming it. sucks either way.

[offthewallsk8er]

you come up to lansing sometime, ill show you everything man-my treat. i swear that little ghetto shopping center that its in has the gnarliest spots.

and today was so nice man. i swear im so stoked that i can just go outside and kickflip without a jacket. i had the hugest crowd today when i was skating during lunch hour out in the parking lot with some other guys. i mean i dont mean to brag or anything but in reality i am the best at my school, but thomas(the guy standing by the six when i fell) is decent also. but you know when your landing all these tricks due to pressure and wanting to preform? you get like omar at the beggining of his part in first love-and your so stoked and your freaking out and jumping on things and its a100% natural-thats what was going down man. i love that feeling and im positive i cant get that from anything else. not chronic or anything. thats forced man, this is so fresh and easy going.

and the abosolute most dimshitted thing of it all though is that you still get those jelous haters that are pissed cause you have the crowd and no ones watching them play basketball so they start to flame you cause of your pants or how your skateboarding just because you suck at basketball or shit like that. they think were all surfersk8er brah. sk8er boii!

[edward]

skater duuuuudeee!!! haha dude i dont' even listen to those people.

yeah today was ****ing awesome! i was so bummed because i was supposed to stay after school to make something up but then the teacher wasn't there so i just left and went home and skated the rest of the day! it was so nice out, i almost got bs 180 switch manny on this manual pad, so sick dude, i can't wait to go back and get that trick.

i'll probably be up at lansing park at least once this summer, i'll let you know when, we'll go skate some spots or somethin. pretty sweet that your the best at your school, i'm deffinetly not the best at my school, we have some sick dudes. brad hendrickson, justin nalley, mark garfoli, carlin doty, and matt hartzel did go to my school until he graduated, you have to have heard of at least one of those names, probably hendy, everyone seems to know him!

and for you guys that haven't heard of them, check the simplicity montage http://www.kinkedskateboardmedia.com/ brads the one bustin kickflip fs 5-0 on the barrier and nalley does the kickflip fs noseslide.

[offthewallsk8er]

yeah yeah! ive heard of brad-i saw him in the montage skating for rippin' in the mitten i think-he was in there wasnt he? i thought i remembered seeing his name in the credits. and yeah theres probably maybe 9 people that can do a little 4 inch ollie and spin a shuvit and land with one foot in our school, but very very few that no what skateboarding really is. i know i wont be the best in high school though, theres a few guys sponsored by modern and one is on flow from quiskilver and vans. im in 8th grade, so im hoping i still have time to get good before i get old-i mean didnt you and perez start when you were like 10?

i think about this alot, and im trying to figure at the rate im progressing if ill ever be good enough. good enough means pro, and i know that status is extremly hard to achieve. back to my rant like 10 posts up, this is where people say "yo brah just sk8 4 fun d00d just ch1ll" and it just pisses me off how they think just because they want to smoke dope and go and do a front tail on a curb every now and then, that that is the way everyone should skate and act. i mean for real-skateboardings better than any other job out there, so if i can dream it i can at least try it. i still skate for the same reason, for fun, but in the back of my head i make sure that im trying to visualize newer sicker runs and tricks and getting them on lock as soon as i can.

time to go shred if that hail doesnt hit soon.

[edward]

yeah, brad's got second clip in the first montage. kickflip bs 5-0 on the skate plaza 7 (he's always been ****ing amazing at those). i skate with brad every once and a while, he's always fun to skate with, hes one of those guys that just commits to it and kills gaps. i mean, skatin the 8 with him in front of my school, his first trick is a hella stylish bs shifty first try, then he does bs 5050 on the rail first try, i wish i had shit like that first try.

i think i started somewhere around august before 8th grade or a little before, so somewhere around the same time as you. i wish i would've started earlier but whatcha gonna do? goin pro and actually making a decent living off of it would be a dream come true for me, but i just gotta wait and see, and just keep skating.

[ion1205]

do more tricks and just practice definately put in some street!!

[elementallity]

yo modern in michigan grand rabids

[offthewallsk8er]

yeah...what about it?

[moptopskate]

not bad if youve only been skating for a few weeks.

[Fakie]

lmao triple post...

[Ramp]
