Extra Tricks 3/30/10 Philly Trip

Featuring John Provencher, Joey Paone, Andrew Davis, Jeff Colombo, Billy Simpson and Brian Panebianco with the marathon line. Filmed by Billy Simpson. The clips of me were filmed by John Provencher and Herd Adis.

The barrier setup at wedge was something new that I wanna skate more. Jeff Colombo and Tore Bevivino killed it. Jeff got a fs 5-0 180 out and a front board shuv. Tore did a kickflip front board, switch back tail and switch back lip all within probably 2 tries. Im saving those clips for our full length video.

Philly Trip

On Saturday, April 20th me and John Porvencher met up with my brother in Philly. We started out at the triangle ledges and the bridge spot. Jimmy got a nice fs lipslide to fakie on it and John was getting some fs nosegrinds on it. I was surprised because the ledge is chunky and not easy to grind. The one he landed he clipped so I put it in the clip. After that we hit up the bridge spot thats right next to the ledges. It was really packed with other skaters and rollerbladers. John got real close to a back tail and jimmy got a fs 5-0 on it before we started filming.

A few days after we skated these spots this awesome clip of Mike Maldonado was up on the skateboard mag site. I've been wanting new footage of him forever. He does a cool trick on the barrier at the bridge spot and a sick line on the triangle ledges. So glad to see this guy back. Bluntslide at 3 block and ender ollie are ridiculous.



After that we checked out burnt cat. There were a bunch of little kids there playing. They kept asking to use our boards and when I got my camera out the one little kid wanted to try it out haha. They were all really funny asking us a bunch of questions. John was getting close to a nice line with a fs nosegrind shuv out on one of the benches when a Rabbi kicked us out. He was worried we would hit the kids playing. Funny enough the kids were upset when we were leaving haha. Especially the one little boy who wanted to us my camera.

I found this old clip of Bam skating at burnt cat from 2000. This rail is so long too. It would have been sick if he got it.



After that we cruised around the city and Jimmy took us to the high benches and slanted wall that Kerry Getz skated in Toy Machine's video "Jump Off A Building". This was one of the earleir videos I got when I first started skating. They had the sickest team back then. I've watched that video so many times and I still love it.

Check out Getz line at the spot at :42 seconds. Everything is perfect. Love Park Kickflip!



After that we checked out this pole jam Jimmy found a month before with some friends. Its pretty sick cause you have to do a quick ollie up a curb and hit the pole jam. You only have a few feet before the pole jam so you gotta be quick. Jimmy and John both did it but were saving them for our full length video "Framework". Hopefully we will be able to finish it Summer 2010.
