Outlier and Vans: The Supermarine Bedford from Outlier on Vimeo.
Robert (IG @nois7) contacted me after Instagram featured my shot of Chris Rost launching out of a bowl at the local skate park. The shot turned out pretty cool on a couple different levels. I asked Chris what he could hook up out of the deep end of the bowl, he said “I don’t normally launch out of deep end, but I think I’ve got something”. I get down into the bowl and find a spot just to the right of the center where Chris is gonna jam through. He has a two pass set up before hitting the trick. This works out great for me so my iPhone can focus on the right spot. Pass one, two… no go. I ask Chris what he’s trying to get and he says “a toboggan, I’ve never done it before”. WOWZA! I’m getting pumped and way more focused on getting this shot! After a dozen or so attempts I can see Chris isn’t feeling it. I let him know there’s no pressure from me, we can get it later. I start to get up and climb out of the bowl and Chris gets way confident! “I got this man, right here!”, so I kneel down a bit outside of where I would have wanted to snap the shot, not confident that Chris is gonna nail it, and then BAM! Sucker hits it up. He proved me wrong and taught me a lesson in being patient. But who knows, it could have been that push to ‘get it now or it won’t get got’.
With all that said, Robert asks me to contact him, expressing he would like to do an edit of this shot for his “Rooftop Series”. “I would like to continue my NY skateboard series but this time with a BMX shot.” After checking out his FB Page and other collaborations in his Instagram Feed, I’m confident Roberts a nice fella that will put together a very rad edit! And that he did!!

The Fortune Wild – Trailer from Sitka on Vimeo.
WOW
“If a man looks sharply and attentively,” wrote Francis Bacon, “he shall see Fortune.”
“In The Fortune Wild, a new Sitka Films production directed by Ben Gulliver with support from Pacific Wild, a small group of surfers set out to seek their own kind of riches on some of the most remote beaches of the Canadian coast” – Sitka
If you are in the Vancouver area you should definitely attend the premier July 31st. I believe there will be premier dates in other cities, but have yet to be determined. Go to Sitka’s FB Page for more information.

Yup… looks like I have a new favorite Podcast.
Joel Beukelman and Aaron I have come together to make a very rad Podcast for all you creative types. As you know… us creative folk are never without that new (input whatever creative idea, skate trick/spot, route to ride, mountain to hike, business built… here). Because of this, our time management may go out the window. Initially it’s great! You’re passionate and have immersed yourself completely into said passion! But then the negatrons step their game up and stress creeps in, family is overlooked, and you end up losing your creative edge/idea all together.
So… how do you solve this issue that you’ve most likely experienced/are experiencing? BLNCE [bal–uh ns]. Joel and Aaron have posted a little intro about The BLNCE, you should go check it out. It defines what they will be discussing and who they will be interviewing on the show (cough cough… our very own Kyle Steed).
