To him skateboarding is almost like second nature. He doesn't even skate lol He used to like 7-8 years ago, but he skates maybe once or twice every 1-2 years haha he is insane though. Maybe 5 years ago, I went to meet up some friends to go for a sesh, and I met up my friends at this 7 stair spot. He was at the top of the stairs and he yelled "This is for you Boxer", goes back, does a quick prayer, and pops a kick flip down the big 7 first try lol He still rips, doesn't go as big on a board as he used to, but he's still pretty good.

This spot is at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal, Quebec. All of these different spots were there lol There are so many spots to skate/in-line or even snowboard/ski there. Definitely one of the landmarks of Montreal, both for tourists and for athletes of all kinds. There's also the well-known "Big-O" that many old-school pros have been there such as Steve Caballero and others like that. You might've heard it before, or seen pictures there... but then again, might not be known in the States lol

been there (as a tourist) lol. Great architecture which means skate paradise. That should be your next 'build'

a bunch of my homies were just in montreal skating not too long ago.

There's a kid from there named Kevin LaPierre, rollerblader, came down and destroyed a contest in Buffalo a few weeks back. The dude is one of the illest unknowns i seen in a minute. really fun to watch skate. Find him, film him, make video, profit, repeat.

Boxer, I assume you were using a tripod? It looks a tad choppy, almost mechanical, on the camera movement. I suggest loosening the head mount almost completely. A ballhead would be optimal but those are expensive.
FUCK I NEED TO UPGRADE MY DLSR. NO MONEY. CRIME TIME!

Well I have a Nikon D50 with a staggering amount of 6.1 mpix. They went out of production hella years ago.
Thing is, I could care less about megapixels and whatnot as I rarely do anything for print, and 6.1mpix is still good enough for digital publishing.
However; as you neatly put it, I WANT MOAR VIDEOZ. Can't stop thinking about how my cheap, dirty little 50mm f/1.8 could produce visual porn.

@ Roke: haha damn Roke, forget about me rebuilding this, I would NEVER pull this off... I could try, but I would never be able to make the Olympic Stadium itself, maybe the spots around though, but it wouldn't be an exact replica

@ Roc: Montreal has LOADS of good street spots, the Olympic Stadium is one of them that has spots for generally all levels of skating/rollerblading. but damn, I don't think I've ever heard of that dude... would be good to film him though, would get my name across as well haha

@ Knex: Yeah man, I was using a tripod for this one. I like how it came out, but it does look really mechanical. I just didn't wanna get shaky clips haha but I also wanted to use my tripod, because I purchased it a while ago, but never used it. But this video was the first time I shot video with my Rebel t2i, so I definitely have to get better, but ever since I moved away from all my friends, it's hard to get practice. I don't know any locals where I live right now, and there's no near skatepark so it's hard as fuck to meet new people lol

Ever tried a dolly? Or maybe a skate grip with weights on it

[Seanne1986]

I found the most beautiful timelaps video ever created!! This is what I wanna do for a living lol.. Shame I didn't study media during school.

Think I'll try out video once I got some photograhy sorted out. And the quality... drooool
