As 2011 draws to close, we can look back fondly on a year full of incredible edits. Hammers have been laid and creative lines have been laced. So while you’re recovering from the festive celebrations, crack open another can and have a look back at this small reminder. Here are the ten most popular videos from 2011!
Are you as excited about the new Ground Control video as we are? You probably should be. For over a decade Ground Control have been leading the pack in frame design and have become a staple in the rollerblading community. In order to commemorate the videos release we’ll be giving away three free copies in a prize raffle!
'Fester' is a video starring Damien Wilson, John Bolino, Casey McFarland, Lyle Shivak, Joey Chase and me, Nick Wood. For this project we did it the old fashion way, by getting a bunch of tough ass bladers together and putting in over a year of blood, sweat and tears. This is a preview of the "Blood, Sweat and Tears" part. I appreciate the newer style and trendy skating these days, but our guys – like I said – are hard core and still put their ass on the line when shooting for a video.
Here is another photo update including captions provided by David Johns. Congrats to David Sizemore for taking this year's title!
David Johns from Orlando is on his way to the Panhandle PowWow 2011 which is taking place at Kona Skatepark in Jacksonville (FL) this upcoming weekend (April 29th-30th 2011). In tow he has Damien Wilson, Michael 'Gumby' Braud, Andrew Jaccuzi and Keaton Newson. As you can see below the crew detected some decent spots on their trip and left their marks on each one. Check out the first picture Gallery here. More pics are about to follow.
I don't know about the rest of the world but in the US Lyle Shivak is a very respected OG skater. He has paid his dues and contributed many of his own innovations to our sport. For some reason in his +10 years of shooting sections in some of the top videos of the decade he has never been a main stream pro. He laced the first 360° Fish ever in a video in the 2001 Daily Bread video "Under The Influence", And pioneered many more of the now termed "Spin to Win" tricks.
I have been working on this video called 'Fester' for a year or so. I have been working on this with Nick Wood, Lyle Shivak, Joey Chase, Jon Jon Bolino, Casey "CORN NUT" Mc Farland, Mathieu Ledoux and many others. It is a project that I am extremely proud of. And the first in a long time at that.
Besides a few phone calls as of recent, Mathieu Ledoux was much the same to me as many of you out there. A fresh face, with mind boggling new maneuvers. One difference is I in fact had been following Mathieu's skating for a couple of years now. Not knowing anything of him personally. I viewed each section as a fan, and looked forward to the next.

This is the intro for the Fester Team Video. We made it just a Trailer for the whole Video because in real life thats what intro's are. So don't go b*tching about how the tricks here are also in the sections. We had a song picked for the intro for a long time but at the last minute I heard this one and knew it was the right feel for Fester. So, if you like this trailer there is plenty more where that came from, so go out and buy the video. -Nick Wood
Every frame has a story to tell. Every scratch is a letter, every chip a flare of creativity, every mark a test of endurance, every groove a path of accomplishment. Every ramp, every rail, every fall, every cheer, every journey. Every trick you land and every trick you don't, carved into a layer of plastic, concealed beneath our feet. Every frame has a story to tell. This is ours.
This photo was originally intended for Be-Mag. I was shooting an interview entirely of "MAN MADE" obstacles. I built one obstacle for each of my sponsors. I filmed the process by myself so the shots aren't everything I wanted for the building portion. So this is episode #1 of "Makings of a one of a kind photo". I hope you enjoy. -Damien Wilson
Check out this little teaser for the upcoming Santee Comp by the Woodster and Damien Wilson! Seems like those guys are well equipped with everything you need to make this event a date to remember.

Check out the edit and visit the A Chosen Few Santee Competition! Boom!
The Sin City Session event took place this past weekend in Las Vegas, NV. Setup and organized by Vegas ripper Chris Calkins.
