Making it Happen Teaser

Finally got that teaser done.

Sorry Guys

Hey sorry that I didn't get a video up at all recently, Ive been pounded with homework and studying here in college. Matt DiMarco and myself (Matt Flood) are hoping to head up to Southwick for once last time this year. It's supposed to be 67 and sunny so we're hoping it won't be windy and the beach will be nice. I'll bring my harddrive home and make that teaser this weekend too. Look out.

Old pictures

I was digging through my laptop yesterday in a boring Chemistry lecture and happened to find these two pictures from 08 summer. Camera Phone Quality. Probably the best the conditions ever were at Southwick.

were still here.

with matt and t.o. at college i havent had anyone to get any pics or clips of the few times i went up. but i finnaly got up last weekend with a few friends and perfect conditions here are some pics.

Video Teaser Coming Soon

I've been thinking about making a Southwick Story video this year with all the footage I've got plus a few more times were going to get to skim before the seasons over. Haven't thought of a name yet but look out for a teaser hopefully sometime this week. It's going to be sweet.

Some pics

Blog not Dead

Don't worry guys the blog isn't dead it's just that Matt's at college now and he's our filmed and editor so we really won't have many new edits but we'll try and get some new pictures up from time to time.

Nothing to do with Skimboarding

Nothing to do with skimboarding. Just Matt and Matt being homo as usual.

Another Edit

Matt Flood and Matt DiMarco being sexy.

New Edit

why im not our editor.

Heres a quick little example showing why im not the editor of our group. Nothing like matts work just some fun little clips from a walmart parking lot skim session... Nothing outta the ordinary right? so any ways we got like 8 inches of rain in two days and this was our outcome. Filming by Nick Grosso.

Custom Foam

DB Skimboards sent Matt and Tyler some extra foam to customize their boards.
This was the final result, we were pretty happy with the outcome.

Flatland East Skim Comp Results

So the competition went well. We had 10 kids competing. The lake was choppy so the sandbar we were skimming was varying in depth so it was a little trickier for the riders. It made the flatland portion of the not as fun as the rails. Once we brought out the Barney set up everyone started to step it up. We had Arick and Von throwing shuvs to the down bar and Von even tried a 360 shuv to the down. Overall it was a wicked fun time.

1st Von Kittelburg
2nd Arick Hess
3rd Shayne Dunn
4th Peter Flood
5th Matt DiMarco.

dashboards support!

Dashboards donations came in today with aricks board for the Flatland east coast comp. Thanks to all the guys over in washington for supporting our event. Prizes from them are a few tees a plank hoodie, stickers of every size and style, and a ton of posters.

aricks new board

My new board came in today its a standard streamline with white main foam and purple outline logo. Quick thanks to tony and kyle for hooking me up.

new features

with the contest coming up we all got together (matt me t.o and dan the canadian) and built a huge legit feature its a jump to flat rail to a down rail over a stair set. we throw some pics up once the pvc is on.

 My cousin will and I at the beach. The  creek was too flooded to skim in but it the sandbars were great.

possible new rider?

My cousin will recently bought a custom flex proto in the hopes of getting more into flatland skimboarding. He has only had one day of actual ride time so pictures arent to great but were expeting some good things out of him in the near future.

Florida Trip

I'm in the airport in Florida right now but I finished up the edit of the footage I got over here. Here's the edit.

I would post pictures but the internet connection here sucks cause so many people are on.



Remember the Flatland East Skim Comp is this Saturday at Southwick Beach! Once I get back rail building is going to begin. Look for some sneak peek pictures soon. I'll get the photos up once I get home from the trip.

With matt in florida i went up with a few of my friends who are just starting into the sport. Sand bars are starting to form every few hundred yards which made for some awesome skimboarding. i also met up and rode with a kid from Connecticut named shayen who will hopefully be in town for our competition august 1st. Here are a few pics.

On a side note i ordered a new board yesterday. Standard streamline with White foam and a purple logo and kyle even threw in a free tee for me. For anyone who doesnt know hes the man.

Matt's in Florida

Matt Flood has been in Florida for the past five days. The tide has been giving him some tide pools to work with and get some sick shots on film. There will be a edit for sure when he gets back sunday. Here's some pictures.

New Fisheye

Just got my new Opteka Platinum Series 37mm 0.3X HD Ultra Fisheye Lens. Here's a couple pictures of the lens on my camcorder. Should make the edits a lot sicker now.

Crappy Conditions Edit

4th of July weekend at Southwick the windy was insane. The waves brought soo much water in to the creek that it was flooded and our skim spot was not that great. Riding the waves washing up was fun though. Couldn't exactly bring out any boxes. Just made a little edit to test out the new camcorder.

New Camcorder.

Matt just got a Sony Handycam HDR-CX100/B for graduation. The high quality video of this camcorder is really going to produce some sick videos. Crafted a handle on the camcorder for a more stable shot and a better angle. Look for a new video to be out somtime sunday or monday.





On a side note Tlyer just got 5 warts removed out of the heel of his foot. It looks absolutely disgusting. Arick also has some nasty looking wound on the side of one of his legs from dirt biking. Dunno if it's going to affect his riding. We'll see come July 4th.
