I know it's been a while since I said I'd have a new montage up but here it is finally the Saint John Spot Check that I've been working on is now up on Push.ca

This post isn't skate related but me and some friends started a new sketch comedy style youtube channel and just put our 1st video up called "Home Alone Rap"

Landry's Column

Lately I've been filming in Saint John quite a bit gathering footage so I haven't had much time to post but Landry sent me his newest column about Bearing Kid.


"Bearing Kid"

If there has ever been a person destined to review new product it is Bearing Kid. While he may now be known simply as “B.K.”, he is still a kid at heart with the quality of a product on his mind. His original moniker itself reveals this. Who else, other than a person obsessed with bearings, could acquire the term “bearing” in their nickname. Even though he has evolved into a multi-product reviewer, the ultimate bearing was his very first obsession.



As a grom, B.K. would often offer his opinion on various bearings. He would always refer to his own first hand experience and would be able to tell you which bearings worked for him and which did not live up to the hype. Eventually, he settled on one brand but I can’t for the life of me remember which one it is.

Even on our road trip to Chester, NS, B.K. was always there with the goods for those in need. Oh, you need a fedora, sunglasses or head phones? B.K. has your back. And while some people use stuff to flaunt their own ego and show off, B.K. is simply curious about the item’s use in everyday life. The items mentioned above are all quite utilitarian and while they may look cool, they serve a distinct purpose.


This is why it is so nice to see B.K. provide product reviews for the East Side newsletter. He is well known within the skate community and he is willing to drop money on something new in order to provide feedback for others. All of this is pretty selfless when you think about it. He is up to tell others about the stuff he is buying so that others do not have to risk wasting their money. It’s a pretty good deal if you ask me.

Sight Unseen

Here`s an old video part from Tosh Townend from the Transworld video Sight Unseen. This was before Tosh went all hippie and lost his style.

Technology

Well I'm finally back in NB after working on feature film in Quebec for the last 6 weeks. Right now I'm working on a Saint John check out video so you'll be seeing some new stuff soon.


Also I picked up a new hdslr the Canon 7d, it does HD video with variable framerates for slow-mo(60p) and a cinematic look(24p) along with 18mp stills and even 8fps for sequences although I'm not a big fan of sequences but it's nice to have the option.


Here's a video from the zoo york filmer RB Umali testing out the 7d.
