New Round of Blog Minutes...

On deck! Went out on Saturday morning before it got god-awful hot with Josh White to Grandview and finished Part 1 of 2 for his blog minute. His will actually be a special edition type Blog Minute. I'd say more along the lines of a "Recruit" on the Berrics. Full Grandview part to a song and everything. Judging by the first part of it, this will be one to top other Blog Minutes.

Other than that, just keeping steady with filming for the Studio video. I finished a rough cut of the official/un-official promo for the video. All that's needed now is a name! So look for that promo to drop here in the next few weeks.

Is anyone other than me SO FUCKING READY for these 90+ degree days to be over with? I don't know how much more of it I can take. But, you gotta do what you gotta do!

So, what did we learn from my update? Look forward to Josh's Grandview montage next weekend, and the official Studio promo in the next few weeks. I have some other goodies in store in the interim period.

Zero Demo and some shiiiit

Hey dudes. Sorry its been a hot minute-I've been working on some other shit and not really doing too much park-ish filming. Tony Schwintyenberg was right when he asked, "Not a whole lot on blogspot...Studio video??" Lots of progress lately-all the dudes are handling. Some more than others (coughschrocksuckscough). But in any event, shits going down. So maybe I'll put some throwaway type shit up on this bitch.

In more recent news, some fellas from Zero made KC as a stop on their summer filming trip and stopped by OP to hang out.

Milwaukee Sessions

Went back home to Milwaukee with my girlfriend over the 4th of July weekend to skate and chill with all the homies. Hung out at Summerfest and enjoyed seeing my family. Great times! I even got a run in this at the most buttery ledges everrrr. Thanks Krusick!

Here's YouTube, because Vimeo's quality on this video turned out horrible.

Skating: Me, Erik Switzer, Sam Freyberg, Alex Carpentier, and Pat & Andrew Murphy.

Dog Days of Summer

These 90+ degree days have been wearing on me. Just standing outside sucks the energy and motivation straight out of me. Skating has now become a chore. Even filming sucks. These clips were from last weekend. It had been raining on and off all day, and the sun finally came out. With that rain came so much humidity it was barely tolerable. My shirt was instantly soaked. I'm tired of Kansas' summer already-all over again. Can't wait to be in Milwaukee for the 4th of July weekend!

We started Josh's blog minute at Grandview and only came up with the first warm up clip before it started pouring. The new Lees Summit park is my new favorite worst park. You won't be seeing me there again unless I have to. But Josh and Kevin killed it!

Go Skate Day '09

Etnies KC Go Skateboarding Day '09 from Ride4Ever/StudioSkate-Brian Ondr on Vimeo.

Damn..no Sheckler! etnies dudes that showed up: Malto, Mikey Taylor (lurked), Kyle Leeper (lurked), Jose Rojo, Devine Calloway (lurked), and Davis Torgerson.

Lots of beer, sun, and fun. I did my best-sorry if I missed something tight! The clips pretty much go in order of the day-8am to 6pm. Contest to contest, etc etc.

Thanks to everyone who came out and made the day the sickest GSD KC has ever seen! I hope next year can be 10x as epic.

Battle of the Boxes

Wow, its been a while. Its been a turbulent and bittersweet past few weeks. Some hard times and some good times, but nonetheless, I'm back on the grind now.

Thanks to everyone who came out on Saturday to the Battle. Anders helped me out with some longlens on this.
