Sundays 21




"Get it in before the baby comes." I must have hear that from three or four people everyday. So yeah, we made an honest effort to hit the streets of Chicago one more time before real life kicks in. Before I forget, Randy did the bulk of the filming. Skateboarding is fun.
I shot this with a pair of GoPro HD Heros, a car mount and a monopod.

Sundays Episode 20



Episode 20 "The Rad Before the Storm"

You can actually see the sky getting darker throughout the course of this edit.  So, a 20% chance of rain quickly turned into 100%.  No street skating, just a quick sesh at a lame park.  We did is some good tacos though.

Sundays 18

Sundays 18


This was a lost episode that I never posted!

I'd like to think I've invented a new camera move. Actually it's a combo of curling and videography. By counter weighting the camera, I was able to slide it under obstacles mid line, catch it and continue filming. Granted, it's a dumb thing to do with a camera, see the end of the video, but it was something different.


Sundays Episode 19 (Now with some street skating!)



"Nah, we'll just go there to warm up," that was our plan at least. Five hours later, we left the Little Village skatepark. I was too tired/old to skate after that. Luckily, Bill Wiora got us some reinforcements and we hit the streets, for an hour or so.
Hopefully this isn't the last session before the weather/baby come roaring in...

. . .relax.



Between a bad back and a ton of work, I haven't been able to make many "Sundays" this year. This one has been in the can for well over a month. Yesterday, I finally had a moment to finish the edit.

I thank Bill Wiora for the randomness of this episode. We ended up skating all of his childhood spots. It's pretty amazing how much fun you can have skating pretty much nothing. Also, if you have the time today, go bomb a hill.
