2009 Year-End Review
So much has happened and 2009 has gone by faster than any year I can remember. Ever since Bryan passed in March, everything has become a blur. Great skating, great friends, tons of footage, and great memories for this year.
I put together a little edit of my personal favorite clips from the various park montages I've made this past year. All the way back to January 1, 2009 (Clinton's tre flip lip run at OP was on new years day, and most of OP8 was filmed on that day as well). This stuff doesn't include blog minutes-there was already a 'best of' for those, duh!
Enjoy and have a SAFE and happy New Year! DON'T BE STUPID TONIGHT.

Hard Drive Clean Up
I also finished something from the last few times we went to Topeka. One time being the first gnarly cold we had back in October, and the most recent time (the last fully warm day) in November when we filmed Kevin's Day in the Life (coming soon). I'll put the Topeka stuff up tomorrow.

This was probably 200 yards from my house. Pretty sweet how she came in from the left and missed the trampoline. Don't text and drive when you're driving down a curvy road. Dumb bitch.

KC Indoor is Back??
A couple weeks ago we took about 3 days out of Cory's building schedule to break the park in. The park itself is done, but he has quite a bit of work to do to get up to code for the city building permits.
The park is epic--far surpasses the old KC Indoor. Kind of cold in there, as he's only heating the mini-ramp room and the upper viewing area, but if you're shredding, you won't be cold right?
Anyways, here's what came of those 3 days skating the park with Studio, Escapist, and other homies. (Watch for my tech-ness!)
-Brian
BACK FOR GOOD!
You'll be able to find things on here that won't be on the Studio site, as well as things that are on the Studio site (but will have epic captions and stories).
So don't let go too fast, look out for more posts coming after the first of the year!

A Few Things
I had Dillon post the brand new Young Gunz montage today, you should check that out-dudes ripping!
Filmed a day in the life with Dewayne on Saturday for the GroupFly site, as well as the Studio site. That's done, and should be on grpfly.com and Studio pretty soon. Then on Sunday went to Topeka with the homies and bared the 40 degree temps to handle some shit. Filmed a small portion of clips at Mousetrap park, so look for that little tage here in a day or so.
Other than that, just keep checking RIDEFOUREVER.COM for updates that I can't post on here!

Back Again...
Here's the skinny of it all.
Basically you should go to WWW.RIDEFOUREVER.COM.
I'm very limited to what I can post on Warmupspot now that the Studio website is up (hint hint-thats why everyone should straight up just go to RIDEFOUREVER.COM)
Now, everything I make may not end up on the website as fast as I'd like...but it's there regardless. Right now the team section has street clips up, and there will be several montages posting soon--i.e. the new Young Gunz section, featuring up and comers in the area that I've noticed. There will be two coming out over the course of two weeks, both of which are done.
Anyway, thats the lo-down. I'll be going back to Grandview with Josh White for a 3rd time tomorrow afternoon to put the finishing touches on his special edition blog minute. Love that dude, so good. Look for that tomorrow night into Thursday if all goes as planned!
So here, the new OP edit, OP10. The lights are on as of last Tuesday. Go enjoy like we all did (and do every night).

New Round of 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.

Dog Days of Summer
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!

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.

Ok so its not 100% done, but the bulk of it is, and it is dooope. Go to the TEAM section for bios, photos, and videos. The bios are up, and the website dudes have all of the team clips that I gave them, so they should all be up soon.
Look for another blog from me on the Studio site itself, with herra more montages and video clips--street and park alike. Also, I'll be working on another Studio video promo as well. Oh oh oh and a Welcome to the Team Weston type shit. Should be sick!

Congrats to Anders on his 3rd post on here in 7 months

Shredding for Bryan
On another note, the day of Bryan's passing was also one of the hardest days of my (and others') life. You might think that skateboarding would be the last thing on everyone's mind. However, its really all we could do. I had plans to skate with Bryan that day-it was so nice out. He would have wanted to skate so bad, and we would have. So it only seemed proper for us to all skate in his name. It was really hard, but all the homies managed to seriously get down for Bryan.

R.I.P. Bryan Barrow-10/27/1991-3/14/2009
Bryan was the most caring, compassionate, and down-right gnarly dude I've ever met. He was the most selfless person I have ever been friends with-always caring of others before himself. He was always so down for everything-never complained at a spot, always wanted to skate anything. We just recently put him on Studio, which was going to be the start of everything. The Vans rep was going to be in town on April 1st, and we had planned to go out today to handle a few more things for his tape--which would have landed him on definate Vans flow. But God took him too soon from us.. and I won't be able to finish his sponsor tape for him, and he won't be able to get free shoes every month.. or have his finished part in the Studio video.
My deepest sympathies and compassion go out to the Barrow family. Erik, you too bro.
From me to you Bryan...
Bryan.. you have no idea how I'm feeling. I can't even put to words and express everything.. I miss you so much already bro, we had some damn good times, and you got a lot of amazing footage. Man I'll never forget that bail you took at that track flatbar.. you hit your face so gnarly! Worst bail I've ever filmed! I'd so much rather you have a busted up face right now than gone man.... You were supposed to throw hammers today man!! To get your tape ready for Vans! We had plans and everything... Not a day will go by that I don't think about you. I hope you heard what I said this morning in the hospital room man... Shit popped off at OP for you today-everyone was shredding for you, as will it tomorrow. I know you'll always be with us when we're skating. I love you bro, rest and skate in peace. No one will ever forget you, ever. Everything from here on out is dedicated to you.

The Best of the Blog Minutes
Anyway, I compiled all of this based on what I think were some of the best tricks from each blog minute. I'm sure some would disagree, but I'm pretty sure there's a ton of really sick shit either way. Just play me in SKATE the next time you see me and we can battle it out.

Like I mentioned before, I have a shit ton of unused and forgotten park stuff, so in the midst of this shitty winter weather, I'll probably throw a montage together of that stuff.
Other than that, there will be a lot more skateboarding soon. This weekend calls for the 50s on Saturday, so go out and shred!

So, dude who works at Papa Murphys and is stoked on blog minutes, this new blog minute is for you.
