Extra Tricks for "Framework" (12/5/10)



Some extra tricks for our video "Framework" coming soon. Featuring Joey O'Brien, John Provencher, Cory Quigley, Tore Bevivino, Alex Subers, Kevin Pham, Jimmy Simpson and Billy Simpson.

Still filming for "Framework" as much as we can. Hopefully we will be able to get a lot of the editing done over Christmas break. The spot at :18 seconds was probably the most fun thing in the world haha. It was perfectly waxed. We skated it for a good half hour straight. Then we checked out the yellow flatbar spot in West Chester for the first time. Besides the few tricks in this clip John got a front blunt shuv, I got a back blunt and Cory got a back lip pop out.

Joey O'Brien is the first person I've seen use the table at the bump to grass gap in Harleysville. Besides the warm up 5050, He got real nice crook on it too and a front shuv over the gap. Tore could film a whole part on the granite ledge. Just recently I filmed him do a switch back tail kickflip out and bs smith kickflip out. My half cab boardslide switch 5-0 is from around two years ago, the angle iron on the ledge and the orange W's on the quaterpipe give it away. It's funny to see how much wedgewood changes when I look through old clips. How many different colors the park has been. If I had done Jimmy's front tail shuv on the green banks I would want to hold onto it but Jimmy's got higher standards then me haha. I thought it was sick. He got a sick line the other day at wedge with a half cab feeble 180 out on the brick ledges, never seen anyone do that before.

Mark Beidlingmaier's New Stuff

Some new footage of Mark Beidlingmaier. Nosemanny bs bigspin and fs flip are my personal favorites.
