Overdone things in rollerblading

Maybe homie wanted his footage to be compatible with the Honey-Bakers for submissions. Seems like a good call.

There absolutely has to be a meme in here somewhere.

As far as the VX/GL/DVX discussion goes, it's all personal preference. All my favorite vids were all filmed on either a VX or a GL. I think that's one of the reasons those videos had so much replay value.
I actually prefer my GL1 over the VX1K for daytime filming but the VX1K shits on the GL at night. I also found that the colors on my VX2K were always so washed out in comparison to the 1K. 2K was a waste of time.
Why do you think people still film 8mm? Because you can't recreate that classic feel/look.
Same goes for the 1K, it was awesome then and it's still awesome today.
As for the DVX, I never got it with it.

how about the new trend of companies having online sales on their websites but the stuff actually worth buying isn't on sale. (vibralux and valo)

I don't think it's fair to say "I have no idea what I'm talking about", since I've owned the piece of shit camera and many others.

That said, I admit there are really only so many options for cameras if one does not want to go the HD route (and please, no more DSLRs). And, there is also a reason that the VX1 is so widely used in skateboarding. But that explanation wears thinner every year the camera ages.

As far as SD cameras with century lenses, basically, VX series, GL Series, DVX (the best choice by far).

Theoretically, one's logic would go like this: Ok, HD footage is played out (and I agree), let's go back to the basics, and get an SD Camera with a classic death lens. I like the look of the VX1, it's so timeless! I looove that silky smooth home-video esque 60i!

So, disregarding the million drawbacks associated with buying a 17 year old camera, the question becomes why do you treasure the vignetting, warmth, and sound of the VX1 over other options? It's really not something easily quantifiable, and I think that it is a bias on account of skateboarding history.



Long story short, DVX+death is the undisputed champ of rollerblading. I also like the actual video camera that AJ uses and also the camera lens combo that SK and Broskow use.

Yes DVX + Death is the best combo IMO. (The Truth 1) Even the vignetting combo in Choose Your Genre was fine with me.

The number one overdone thing in rollerblading?


Overpriced, low quality, made in china products.

There are a few circle-jerk crews out there that get way more excited than the audience is likely to be, and this bothers me. It degrades a pretty good clip in my opinion. If something really sick goes down, cheer away. One clip I specifically remember ing at was Luda or Bina or someone zero spinning the Carlsbad gap and a little kid NIMH repper just losing his shit like OOOH MY GOOOODDDD THAT WAS AMAAAZING. Not a bad trick, but definitely not an exciting trick. Some first try shit.

And I'm not even taking away from the skater it's the fanboy entourage I have a problem with. Editors mute that shit out, or filmers tell your little brother to shut up or stand further from the camera.

This is fucking retarded. It's fucking rollerblading, motherfuckers aren't making money off it, people should be getting hyped/having fun when there boys are lacing shit. why else would we be doing it? ... "nice trick" *golf clap*

Multiple sizes per shell. 2 different shell sizes from 4-13 in particular

Hell yeah especially that "i'm just having fun" attitude. That's some looser talk right there, shredblading isn't for loosers it's for masculine motherfuckers who murk shit.

[salomonskater]

Focusing on filming blading instead of blading.

[medimystik]

We skate for fun. We're soul skaters.
