I'm back from the Australia/ New Zeland Trip. It was a lot of fun to shoot skateboarding with the red camrea. Also got to shoot some stuff for the Love + Guts art show held at Bondi and Wellington. I cut a short video about the art show that you can see along with the two videos I did for the contests at the oakley skate site.

The video I shot and edited in New Zeland has been posted in the community section at oakley's site here Scroll down a bit and there's a list of videos on the left hand side. It's the wellington Bowl-o-Rama video.

Just got back from the Tour of California. It is super cool to be doing stuff with road racing again. I was working on a commerical with Ivan Basso and the Liquigas/Cannondale team.

I was in Sacramento, California for the Tour of California. I was co-directing a Cannondale/ Ivan Basso commercial with my good friend Don Hampton from PA.
Anyway a guy named Terry Cox helped us out. He owns the coolest bike shop I have seen in a while, College Cyclery. He has lots of cool old bikes, great old Schwinns and some cool custom bikes.

Yesterday was the Bowlorama contest here in wellington, New Zeland. The finals were one of the more amazing skateboarding experiences I've had. Dudes were dropping in on eachother left and right. Often there were 3 dudes riding in the bowl at once. Monday we leave for Bondi beach in Sydney, where we'll be for the next contest and art show.

I'm in New Zeland for a week with the oakley skate crew. Today there was an art show with some of the crew's work. Here's Chris Senn Hanging his stuff.

We wrapped up 10 projects in the last 2 weeks. One of them is the Firsthand we did on Nigel Sylvester. It's going to air on Fueltv (channel 618 on directv) this sunday night. Nigel has a fresh vibe about him. Hit us back with your thoughts on the show.

We had the chance to knock out 2 new pollution segments on one long trip. Maddy and Taylor are both ripping snowboarders from Steamboat springs, CO. We enjoyed hot springs, maddy's cookies, crazy trampoline warehouses, and snoller blades

I have watched this video about 30 times in the last 3 days. It make me SMILE. It reminds me to be GRATEFUL for everything.
Peace
