hey that’s nice like the part where the skater moves from one to the other tv screen

Matt made this in 2007. It’s not about the skating in this video. It’s about the idea and the film itself. It’s awesomely creative, and refreshing to see somethin new.

May 28th, 2009 at 10:22 am
terrible… if the skating was strong enough to support the strangeness of the video then maybe it would have worked. that was real bad…………
May 28th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
cool edit matt, really good editing!!
May 28th, 2009 at 8:45 pm
Wow that was a great short film!!!

There simply isn´t enough of this around.
Why though?
It is interesting to see how people are reluctant to put the orthodox skating to one side and open their mind to non repetitive clip after clip editing. Narrative structures are something that the rollerblading video industry lacks big time, and still, we get a 99.9% of the videos filled up with just tricks, almost like the porn video industry. It´s getting gross to watch impersonal trick after trick edits, absolutely everyone can do them.
Less porn, more love, more ideas, lines, sounds and faces!
Nice skating, nice set up and amazing how you are making those fiziks last this long Chilvers!
Chilvers, Watt, I take off my hat.

True Azur,
Just to remind people this edit was filmed and edited 2 almost 3 years ago.
May 29th, 2009 at 8:37 am
the skating didn’t need to be insane, it would have taken away from the concept. Watch a chilvers section if you don’t know who he is, he’s sick. Really enjoyable piece of film

Azur knows whats up.

Very nice. Rolling videos can have more content than just skating.A story like this is refreshing. I specially love the ending. Love the concept too.
I am a believer.
