Double Rainbow? What does this all mean?
Double Rainbow is the common name of a viral video uploaded by YouTube user Hungrybear9562 where he declares his awe and wonder for a rare “double rainbow.” He eventually starts to cry because he is so struck by its radiance and vividness. More.

that was some seriously bad editing. I couldn’t see what was going on for half the tricks because there was one trick superimposed on another! Congrats to CJ though.
November 1st, 2010 at 8:51 am
that’s what happens when you don’t get paid to make rollerblading edits… I don’t got time to make everything perfect for you wackass critics. next time, you make the edit honkey
November 1st, 2010 at 8:51 am
lol lurkin w a camera
filming unsuspecting women
yeah hard to see pretty much all of the tricks.
why overedited and so contrasty nowadays in all edits
i just want to see some clean tricks filmed well with hd…
congratulations to the finalists and CJ for sure
November 1st, 2010 at 8:53 am
double rainbow box is seriously incredible
November 1st, 2010 at 9:02 am
Theres a difference between perfection and the sloppy joe rubbish piece of crap that you uploaded to vimeo mate. Way to go CJ
November 1st, 2010 at 9:06 am
Anonymous… just wait till CITY NEVER SLEEPS drops.. but glad you appreciated the lurking… that was meant for people to laugh. I was expecting all these film critic comments, but check this… I made a next day edit before anyone else… do yourself a favor and stop stressing… & take a DUMP while you’re at it!
November 1st, 2010 at 9:11 am
Oh, scratch that… BMO made a Rem’z Hoedown edit. NVM, hahaaz!
November 1st, 2010 at 9:35 am
Meant for people to laugh? Glad B-mo didnt think like you
November 1st, 2010 at 9:47 am
I’m surprised no ones mentioned yet that there’s no americans in the TOP3 and that there is 4 french in the TOP10, 2 in the TOP3
November 1st, 2010 at 9:56 am
jolie video de rollo ????????
November 1st, 2010 at 10:49 am
dude I dont care about your french gays
November 1st, 2010 at 10:56 am
really your excuse for the dumb double superimposing is cause you dont get paid. didnt you show it to anyone before you posted it. im sure they would tell you that it was retarded. you should just re edit it without the superimposing cause the rest of it was sick. big props to cj
November 1st, 2010 at 11:09 am
CJ ripping it up. How hot is the girl in check shirt sitting down, damn.
November 1st, 2010 at 1:32 pm
american riders have lives and dreams, goals aspirations…. those french faggots have no life…. they fuck each other in vans and rollerblade 12 hours a day, kind of like those guys from brink….. DO IT AGAIN
November 1st, 2010 at 1:35 pm
and that park is fucking trash….. Eisenberg’s is fucking old, retarded and played out… nobody probably even wanted to go coz it NEVER changes it’s layout, which is garbage to begin with.
November 1st, 2010 at 1:57 pm
^ fuckin asshole !! anonymous….FUCKIN RETARDED ASSHOLE…..FUCK YOU…..what do you know??who are you???fucking prick!!!!
we all have dreams, lives and that shit.
you dont know shit about anything!!!
November 1st, 2010 at 2:27 pm
I’m into politics and social science; BUT even I get sick of these endless fucking debates on rollernews, over nothing!!!
Where you are from holds absolutely no relevance to your Rollerblading ability. I just cannot fathom how an edit marking 14 years of this competition ever got onto the subject of goals and aspiration of entire nations!
GIVE IT A REST ROLLERNEWS “COMMUNITY”!!!
I thought the edit was perfectly fine, I saw some amazing tricks. I always prefer it when one section of the park is focused on by everyone, you can compare the skating a lot easier; CJ deserved it. Nuff’ said…
November 1st, 2010 at 2:32 pm
seriously I was at the hoedown, and there were bladers with more tons of style that the godenaire monkey skating…
November 1st, 2010 at 3:41 pm
Hey guys Mason Richard placed fifth and he ain’t even pro. Dude’s unquestionably an up and comer. I think he’s only like 16 too, so I’m calling it now: “next Aragon” (and people don’t get your panties in a bunch hating on Aragon or the phrase next Aragon).
November 1st, 2010 at 4:10 pm
^agreed, Mason is the future, but I’m seeing him as the next Haffey, since he rides REMZ. He does some Haffey-like tricks too, like 450 ao unity down a skatepark rail, or fakie 630 kind grind on a quarter (see his Haffey 2.0 edit if you missed those tricks ;), but also 540 back royale in a bowl (Cedar Park edit).
I’d argue that CJ is the Haffey right now, based on his recent dominance of the comp scene. They should add him to Nitro Circus Live. The next two Tours are in his backyard, New Zealand and Australia, so why not?
November 1st, 2010 at 4:12 pm
oh, and like hot logs of poop said, people don’t get your panties in a bunch hating on Haffey or the phrase next Haffey. (It’s Rollernews after all, disclaimers are apparently necessary before leaving an opinion?) haha
November 1st, 2010 at 4:20 pm
I reckon this edit is pretty decent :)
November 1st, 2010 at 5:30 pm
who the fuck did that 540 aotopporn insanely perfectly? and true sav true soul topsoul? fucking incredible
November 1st, 2010 at 5:44 pm
sick skating
thanks for making the edit
I agree with Notorious Tom
November 1st, 2010 at 5:59 pm
“who the fuck did that 540 aotopporn insanely perfectly? and true sav true soul topsoul? fucking incredible”
Cudot. His style has gotten much better.
November 1st, 2010 at 6:15 pm
i’d argue that cj is in actual fact cj, not haffey.
November 1st, 2010 at 7:18 pm
wish I could have seen the tricks in this edit
November 1st, 2010 at 7:26 pm
LOL, I might redo the edit without the superimposing… I really don’t care though, you guys should have been there to witness it yourself. I saw 5 other dudes with cameras… let them make up for it. I got school/work and stuff that is more important right now then pleasing you bladers/directors*… However, I love proving the haters wrong soo… keep up the shit-talking and I might jiffy out a 10 min or so edit with titles & commentary by fans and all that extra cake… I recorded about 1hr 30mins plus worth of footage… but I don’t see myself making that edit for about 2 weeks or unless I get funds to make something better… aka TRUTH ;)
November 1st, 2010 at 7:30 pm
you should jiffy it out so I could see the tricks in this edit.
November 1st, 2010 at 8:38 pm
Cudo Winner !!!!!!!
November 1st, 2010 at 9:34 pm
What does this all mean?
CJ gets added to the Remz pro team for 2011. I’d bet a hundred bucks.
November 1st, 2010 at 10:37 pm
lololol excuses. if you didnt have time to make it look pro then why did you try?
if i wasnt paid/busy id just put the clips so i could see them to a killer song. maybe que it up. but damn those effects would take forever
fail excuses are fail.
this isn’t hate, this is criticism
November 1st, 2010 at 10:38 pm
I thought it was sick Pat..I wouldnt do anyting to it…but for next time..drop the opacity on one of the layers, and add a dissolve to the layered clip so its not such a abrubt change from normal to layers..
thought it was really cool!! keep it up brotha!!
November 1st, 2010 at 11:19 pm
I really more like the old hoedowns, around 2002-2005, and of course the 2006 aragon massacre. This rainbow shit is gay, the higher older box was way better and way harder to skate
November 1st, 2010 at 11:20 pm
and Cudot got robbed for sure!
November 2nd, 2010 at 1:58 am
Cudot was robbed. but this proves united states has fallen behind the rest of the world in rollerblading. small tricks = U.S.=fail
November 2nd, 2010 at 2:34 am
wow the ‘anon’ guy is really making himself look like a cunt..
thanks for the vid, sick as fuck wish i couldve been there, this was the next best thing
November 2nd, 2010 at 7:38 am
where were all the u.s. skaters? were they scared to compete w/ these europeans/australians?
sometimes i wonder how some pros still have there job. let’s take mike “murda” johnson as an example. when was the last time you saw that guy put an edit out to promote razors?
when was the last time you saw him win a comp?
when was the last time you saw that guy even compete in a competition?
when he does attend a competition, he never has his skates on. just sits back, watches, and probably drinks or smokes weed. how does that guy continue to be a pro skater? please tell me he has a normal job because if his main source of income is razors, that is just depressing. he is a freeloader.
November 2nd, 2010 at 8:12 am
Juan…I feel ya, next time… when school isn’t in the way, a hotass girl, a paying job, and time limits aren’t being pushed… the world will see a better product, but this was meant to be half-assed… so love it or hate it folks! call it a failure whatever… you don’t hurt my feelings at all PUNKS! LOL. This might hurt your feelings though…-> the grand prize was only $1000… best trick was another $500. Previous Hoedowns the grand prize was $10,000…. you do the math… if you care so much about blading, then why don’t you do your parts on getting it on TV again or getting big sponsors to dish out money to the winners*… that’s where the real failure is in blading right now… this was only meant to be put online… and the song was better than half the boring crap out there. bottom line though… SYF.
November 2nd, 2010 at 10:28 am
you didnt make the edit perfect because you dont get paid?
after this edit, i wudn’t be expecting any offers to make edits for money if i were you.
SHOW people what you can do…then you get paid….not put out horse shit like this and TELL everyone it could have been better.
you SAY you can do more but you need to SYF….put up or shut up
November 2nd, 2010 at 10:33 am
and yur telling everyone to do thier part to get rollerblading on TV…if a network or potential sponsor saw this edit they wuldnt want to sponsor us…thats for sure…..so thanks for being the example of effort there mate
November 2nd, 2010 at 11:36 am
What a clown, you don’t have time to make the edit watchable? It takes longer to superimpose one trick over the other than it does to put them down on a timeline and quickly beat match it. A park contest edit is not rocket science, no one wants to see your “fancy” editing techniques, they just want to see what went down.
November 2nd, 2010 at 11:44 am
Why would anyone pay you for horrible camera work and even worse editing? How arrogant are you? Why would you even mention being paid as a motivator for making a quality park edit? Why not just say fuck it and not make an edit since it’s clearly such a chore?
November 2nd, 2010 at 1:28 pm
What a terrible edit, quality > whatever that piece was
November 3rd, 2010 at 6:28 pm
redoing the edit for you little crybabies… stay tuned punks.
November 4th, 2010 at 2:56 am
^^ thanks ^^ I look foward to watching something that’s actually viable
November 4th, 2010 at 6:30 am

wow. i cant stand haters. eff those guys pat. they can hate more than they can rollerblade. they dont have anything in the rollerblading scene.

Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
November 12th, 2010 at 4:11 pm
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
November 13th, 2010 at 8:22 pm
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
November 14th, 2010 at 12:40 am
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

Its crazy how much more safe I feel now that I have cheap health insurance!
