Interview : Doug Urquhart of Misled Media
RW : Barely Dead is one of the most anticipated videos that I have heard about in my 8 or so years of Rollerblading. Does the fact that so many kids are expecting so much out of this video put any pressure on you to produce a great product?
DOUG : It explains why the film has not yet been released, seriously…! Here is some of the latest: Justin Eisinger and I have been taking our time perfecting the ultimate script. I’m working on upconverting all the archived material (ex. Hoax I & 2, Mad Beef master BetaSp’s) to DVCPRO HD via a TeraNex. I have to fit into open time slots at a local studio (Crawford.com) after hours to use the TeraNex… so I have to be patience at times. My Sony HDV camera is in So Cal right now as Carl Sturgess, Justin E, & Wes Driver help re-shoot interviews with Brian Shima and Jon Elliott. Matt Andrews is brewing up motion graphics… Perfection is key. We are not rushing anything on this project… but it is coming very soon. I promise!
RW : We saw amazing skating in Black Market including profiles on Julian Bah, Will Gordon, Montre Livingston, Brian Aragon, and Brent Hicks, who can we expect to see profiles of in Barely Dead?
DOUG : Barely Dead (the documentary portion) will not have any profile formats. However, throughout the film you will be acquainted with:
Chris Haffey, Alex Broskow, Cameron Card, Jon Julio, Azikewee Anderson, Shane Coburn, Chris Farmer, Jeff Stockwell, Mike Opalek, Jon Elliott, Julian Bah, Walt Austin, Robert Guererro, Michael Braud, Sean Keane, Pat Lennon, Dave Kollasch, Franky Morales, J.C. Rowe, Damian Wilson, Nick Wood, Arlo Eisenberg, Jess Dyrenforth, Tom Hyser, Brian Shima, Eric Shrihjn, Doug (a 67 year old ‘first-gen’ rec blader from Minnesota), Dave Carnie (oops…disregard, he rejected the interview!), & many more! Simply stated, amazing skating.

Was Dave Carnie a big anti-rolling guy back in the day or something? I did a little research and all i’ve found on him is that he’s a skateboarder that’s an editor or something for a skateboard rag called Big Brother.
Also, anyone remember seeing some interview on the x-games or something where skateboarders were talking shit on rolling? I think it was Andy McDonald that said, “Rollerblading looks so easy. If i started it, i’ll bet i’d be pro within a few months.” That might of been a quote in a DB or Box, though.

Dave carnie hates rollerbladers and made a film called boob in which he made fun of us
