Once Again

Ok, I was riding at the ghetto courts, yesterday, and I pulled the trick again. Hydrant to karl kruizer to half-bar flip to turbine hiker. Like it was nothing...it really surprised me. Then, I almost pulled another one right after it! I messed up getting out of the steam at the end, but I had done everything before the steam perfectly. In the ghetto courts! I was stoked.
I also am learning the hang-five out of hydrants, which wil lcome in handy. I am actually working on an exit for tricks...not like me at all. But, just to reassure you all that the world is not ending, I worked on keeping teh hang-five going after I kick. I WILL NOT END A COMBO! Pretty soon, I'll just do one trick when I ride...it will last hours and when I'm done riding, I'll just jump off, having not pulled a completed link all session!
By the way, happy birthday, Sargent! Sargent?

Where's the beer?

Hey, Paul, happy birthday buddy. I hope you have a big party with lots of beer, hookers, and unprotected sex. Don't forget to invite your neighbor Steve. He knows how to party hard.

BSR Promo

Ok, here is another vid, though not the footage I have dubbed "The Steve Affair." This some Joe footy from last weekend and some footy of Joe's from last fall along with some music called "That Song, " by Big Wreck. Hit it up!
The Steve footy should be coming soon. Steve has really gone out of his way to get the footage to me despite the complexities of getting media converted, ripped and stored. If you haven't dealt with getting footage from one computer to another, you have no idea what you're missing. But I am learning alot from all this. My advice? Ok, here it goes:

1: File types must be converted, not simply renamed.
2: You have to know what player will not only PLAY a certain file type, but which software will CONVERT them as well.
3: It is best to save media without the "read only" box checked and just be careful when deleting media.
4: Use the software for a given camera, or else pay attention to whether or not your capture program alos captures the audio (mine doesn't).
5: "Dissolve" also means "Fade." Who knew?
6: Arranging footage within a movie to fit the music is a bitch. When it happens out of hand, you have no idea how cool it can be.
7: A three minute video takes me hours to put together. I can't imagine how many hours an editor puts in on a two hour movie!

Well, I hope it was worth it... Here's the link: BSR Promo
