(4:26) Here is a short video I made as a school project for my Participation In Government class three months into my senior year of high school in 1991. We were allowed to pick our own topic so of course I picked skateboarding. If I wasn't riding my skateboard, then I was watching a skateboard video and this eventually made me curious on how they were made and wanting to make videos myself. I had already made a video entitled, "Say Cheese", before this school project so I already had a head start. I already had filmed some skate footage of my friends so I went out and shot the couple of interviews out on the street and the interviews with my friends to complete the filming. I edited the video on two VCRs and borrowed some type of audio mixer from Radio Shack from a friend to add in the music and narration (all in one take). Total rig job. In typical school project fashion I waited until the last minute and made the video the night before. I didn't even have a fresh, blank VHS tape to turn the project in on... I submitted it at the end of one of those Vision NSA contest videos from 1986. I turned the project in on time and the next day in class my teacher made an announcement that she was going to play the video for the whole class. I was like, "oh shit!", everyone already hated me 'cause I was a skater, "now they're really gonna hate me." So, the video was played and people dug it and were kinda impressed I think because they we're reacting to the skating while it played and asked me lots of questions after. The point made in the video (is there even one?) is pretty poor but my teacher rewarded me with an A+ due to the fact that I actually made a video. All the other students just handed in crummy charts and graphs. She even played it for all her other classes. I win. Skaters in the video are: Eric Shugats, Joe Cassenti, Larry Ransom, Stan Knight, Chris Fritton, Chris Crenshaw, Mike Drinkwalter, Andy Gulkin and Salman Agah. Written on the VHS tape label: P.I.G.

(7:22) It just goes to show that when you have the resources and the opportunity to get on snow at an early age you can accomplish great things. Maverix Snowboard Productions spent a couple of days with a crew of east coast rippers to see what they could do. We were not disappointed. The team was Kyle Mack (10yrs) with his brother Darren (6 yrs), Jacob Aaronsen (12 yrs), his sister Shana (10 yrs) and Jack Herald (11 yrs). These guys truly know how to ride with 7's being the flavour of the sessions. Already these kids have picked up sponsors like Burton, Anon, Oakley and Rome Snowboards. We cannot wait to see where these kids take it. Also in this podcast we bring you the teaser for the new Maverix Snow Camp that will be running three one-week sessions from late June on the glacier in Les Deux Alpes, France. Come out and ride next seasons gear from Burton, Ride, K2, Salomon and Omatic snowboards and gain some professional free-ride and freestyle coaching from our certified coaches. < less

We traveled to Launceston to Longford with two stops along the way We then shreeded to Longford Skate park for about 3 hours or so. We then Headed to the Longford train tracks and walked across them hoping not the get hit by a train to Perth. We stopped at a shop in Perth and brought some tukka and drink.

(3:29) Xcorps Action Sports Show #15.)"RAT"-seg4close- This Xcorps episode runs fast hot and just inches off the pavement with guest host and gold medal street luger Rat Sult taking our cameras to his secret training hill and a tour of his X toy filled garage all pumped hard with new music and videos from Rive Video Productions. Guest host Rat Sult who is known in the industry as a bad assed nice guy has some fun as an Xcorps host giving details on subjects such as his protective leathers and how to roll without burning on a high-speed slide. Great shots here with Rat screaming by the cameras at close to 60 MPH on the rural So Cal hairpins. See dust fly as he cuts it too close and hits the rock wall.! New hip hop vid from the band WildChild doing their song WonderYears rolls this action. After the break Rat returns with some shots from his luge gold medal wins in the X and Gravity Games and a thro to a pimpin huge video from our pals at RIVE and SPV Records with the band Monster Magnet rolling out their song Unbroken Hotel Baby. Interview with band member Dave Windorf after the video. What an icon! Then the luge street action returns from the serpentine hills 30 miles north of San Diego with Rat and some adrenalized POV on board shots pushed by the angst and darkness of RoadRunner Records band SlipKnot letting loose out of control scenes from their new video Duality. This band set some new standards for sure. After the dark there comes the light with Rat introducing the band Nickelback and their new video Feeling Way too Damn Good. Nice film production and effects quality here. Feeling good tune. Then Rat picks up more speed on his billet aluminum street luge and rolls the cameras this time to his house in Temecula Ca and a look at the fun sports toys he keeps in his garage. See the Rat Sult collectors edition action sports figure and the special edition Rat Gravity downhill skateboard. Rat also shows off his winning luge rigs and gives a little on the sports history. See what toy he digs most! The show wraps with some great street level speed with rap tunes from Wildchild and the ever gracious Rat Sult thanking viewers for joining him for a look at the dangerous niche X sport of street luge.
