My idea for the Quit Your Life Tour was to make an edit in each city I visited with a different camera/ filmer/ editor.
I left my home and job in Denver on christmas day for the northwest. The third stop on tour was Seattle, WA filming with my good friend Carter LeBlanc for 16 days.
Seattle in the spring can be very very wet though, and we had been planning this trip for over a year. I patiently bided my time filming in north Idaho, watching the weather in Seattle and waiting.
As soon as I saw a couple days of sunlight in a row, I hit the road. My luck couldn’t have been better, and we ended up making what I like to think of as my best profile yet. – Geoff Phillip.
Released in 2011, Ground Control GC.1 came to define a years worth of achievement from the blading community. Featuring a strong roster of talent from the team itself and directed by Simon Mulvaney, this film documents the story of the frames beneath the feet of each of the GC team.
Episode 9 highlights the insane trick vocabulary of one of the most iconic bladers of all time: Julian Bah, all executed with breathtaking style and precision. Shot entirely in sun soaked San Diego and Las Vegas, we get a glimpse of what it is like to party and blade with the man himself.
Razors UK proudly welcome the newest member of the team: Jake Ricketts. Jake was in Scotland for the Rollkings contest at Evolution skatepark and decided to stay for the week at the world renowned Unit 23 skatepark and filmed this introductory edit with Chaz Sands.

This was great chance for Nils Jansons to show that he is real stuntman with no limits in his mind. From idea to real deal he did 10m (33ft) gap over three cars in front of couple hundred people and live television. Next time: more cars, more flying!
Filmed by Martins Jansons, additional cameras by Ivars Pavlovics, Reinis Petersons, Konstantins Makarovs. Edited by Martins Jansons & Ivars Pavlovics.
