Shred til you’re Dead: Northwest Tour Part 2/7
Join Chris Haffey, Erik Bailey, Jeff Stockwell, Victor Arias, and Brandon Smith as they shred though a two-week, 3,000-mile tour of skate parks in Northern California, Oregon and Idaho. Burning through 200 pairs of socks, they sleep in tent cities, always keeping a vigilant eye out for Big-foot.

December 19th, 2009 at 5:40 pm
the Bowl looks like very nice
December 19th, 2009 at 5:57 pm
stockwell is very interesting to watch skating. fluid and clean..
prefer it over haffey, bailey… etc…
December 19th, 2009 at 5:59 pm
bladers can skate bowls better than boarders…….. yes!!!, stockwell is beast
December 19th, 2009 at 6:11 pm
The skating was super good, the songs are allright too, even if I would not consider the songs that very “shreddy”
December 19th, 2009 at 6:19 pm
hát ez elég gyengusz lett:)
langyi..uncsi..
December 19th, 2009 at 6:33 pm
songs and filming were good. commenter’s on here have very little taste.
that soul grind that bailey does around the curve must have felt so good. nothing beats the feeling of a soul grind on a curved concrete!!!
keep em coming and thanks to guys for putting this out for free!
December 19th, 2009 at 7:17 pm
wat skates is lennon usin?
December 19th, 2009 at 7:22 pm
they were a died pair of REMZ..
December 19th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
thats cool that its gona be online,
it just doesnt really feel like there shredding till their dead
i wana see some hardcore shit ass gritty skating
bailey already skated that bowl in the apple over the lake
he did the same exact shit in the video as he did in this one
i thought that was pretty funny
i wana see haffey get down on some shit
December 19th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
These guys don’t skate to live…. They live to skate.
Good lifestyle piece, and I look forward to seeing more in the future.
December 19th, 2009 at 7:52 pm
BASIC! Waste of time!
December 19th, 2009 at 7:58 pm
this was filmed just a few weeks before the WRS world finals. i wouldn’t expect them to try to kill themselves, at least not on the first day of the tour!!
but i thought the skating was sick! i expected more bowl to bowl (to bowl) transfers at pacifica though, seeing as how bailey is the king of those! but bsmith and stockwell owned on lines and bailes killed it with “them” true spins.
great job guys, thanks for making it free for everyone
December 19th, 2009 at 8:06 pm
and after watching that, ima skate pacifica today, it’s gonna rain tomorrow anyway =(
December 19th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
haha how can you all be so negative. some of the best pros in the world having fun skating, and killllllling bowls. Look at how much fun these guys are having on the tour. this is what skating is all about. take a tip from the pros and lighten up, have fun. this is rollerblading at it’s finest.
December 19th, 2009 at 9:29 pm
by the way I agree with Mothraw about stockwell. he is at home in these parks. the type of skating he does takes sooo much physical control it is unreal how fluid he is. and I give the music a 110% as well.
December 19th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
Basic? hahah are you crazy? this is rollerblading at its finnest, no shit!
and Ivan! I didn’t know you had these skills, you are a good editor man, good footage and color correction, simple motion graphics that work out really fine.
I’ve always been a fan of your crew, and your skating, vinny, you, Arias, the tech master, great to see some production value in your work.
I run a TV show here in Brazil, its called RODAPÉ, its the first of its kind in Brazil. its rollerblading only! make sure to check it out, if you have some time, is on the second, or third page here in rollernews!
great work! keep it up! regards!
December 19th, 2009 at 9:48 pm
THAT WAS THA BEST FILMED/EDITED MONTAGE IN ROLLERBLADING HISTORY! jesus i hate u people tha can appreciate how incredible this is, what can any you think of thats of higher quality????
Congratz ivan this got me so juiced! im bouta go blade boi
December 19th, 2009 at 9:56 pm
STOCKWELL !!!! love to watch him
December 19th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
This is some historic shit. Wait until the whole thing is done. Buy that Blu-Ray and you’ll be able to convert the masses to blading!
Trill Bill is right, it’s a lifestyle piece as well as a blade video. These guys are all the embodiment of the rolling life.
December 19th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
Haffey wearing a seatbelt is just nine levels of hilarious. That Valo palm tree shirt is disgusting and ruined Bsmith’s beared wrist guard tricks. Stockwell was cool despite mindgame bayside blades. Bailey’s deputy dooey haircut to flat bottom. HD just feels lifeless. The periodic release of this video will be its downfall. Dylan, Van Morrison, and part two of seagrams seven.
December 19th, 2009 at 10:15 pm
Stockwell is the best.
dean bailey wuz strugglin in that bowl.
December 19th, 2009 at 10:22 pm
dat boreder sure moved out of halfeys way, can’t believe halfey had that bs royale on the coping in a line. Where’s Ivan at? Blades NYC but not his tour? Vic had one clip he should be valo pro. Jokes, bailey’s got em, no real royales though. what a buncha bowl buddies.
December 19th, 2009 at 10:44 pm
Loved it. Lifestyle videos like this are always more fun to watch. We often forget why we started skating in the beginning. Just relax and have fun, that’s what it is really about anyways!!!
Keep them coming, I can’t wait for #3
December 19th, 2009 at 11:08 pm
this is exactly the kind of video i wanted to see. i havent really skated in about a year but i REALLY want to go blade now.
December 20th, 2009 at 12:30 am
Love it. Gets me so psyched to go kill some bowls
December 20th, 2009 at 12:49 am
It doesn’t bother me in the least that some of the people that post comments comment the video, and dislike what they see. That is their personal opinion, and most people enjoyed the video, because it shows the pros being professional and having a great time.
I know you cannot put a price on style and this vid exudes style, and I’ll take style over stunts any day. Skating is becoming more about having fun, and keeping yourself in shape the shred the next day.
This video reminds me of MTV’s old slogan “some people just don’t get it.”
Sorry that I posted such a long comment, but I love skating, it’s one of my passions and I wish more on here felt the same way.
By the way I hear Stephane Alfano is dropping some huge stunts! LOL
December 20th, 2009 at 4:25 am
how was that filmed perfectly?
some of it was shaky
and you couldnt even see haffeys tru fish
when you fuck up filming something like that, its better not to show it
why would you want to see pros going around and just having a chill session at a concrete park?
having fun?
you have fun every time you put your skates on
pros should be constantly pushing the limits of their sport
thats what makes them “pro” in the first place
you dont pay for a skate video just to see some chill sessions
you pay to see them get down on some crazy shit
most of the shit on this video is just sub par, all the tricks are something i could imagine the pros doing when their not being filmed
all im saying is that i really hope the rest of the tour has much better skating
like what someone said above where bailey already did those tricks in the apple video
i mean shit these are the top pros in our sport, they should be going around killing the fuck out of everything to show people what skatings really made of
December 20th, 2009 at 4:29 am
Too many shots of people doing nothing.
Too many fisheye shots.
LEARN HOW TO USE YOUR FISHEYE. Shit made me dizzy and you can see the edge of the lens in every shot.
December 20th, 2009 at 4:54 am
If you don’t like what you see what waste your time bothering to say something negative? Stop hating and if your gonna criticize at least have it be constructive.
Second of all if you think this video sucks. or it has too much shaky shots/not enough shredding for your taste, don’t fucking watch it. It’s free! I wanna see all you haters film something half as good as Ivan has done here. And better yet spend your own money and time working on this and putting it online for you chumps to watch.
December 20th, 2009 at 6:54 am
There are a lot of dicks posting in this. These are some of the top pros in our sport, if you don’t like their skating you should just sheep out with everyone else and go skateboarding.
December 20th, 2009 at 7:20 am
I’m sick of the “top” pros… I’d love some more of the top bullshit sk8rs…
and how about UGH contradicting himself, you just criticized on constructed criticism ya big black dumbass.
December 20th, 2009 at 8:31 am
good 2 see Stockwell mutking as always.
December 20th, 2009 at 8:31 am
that level of skating is insane
December 20th, 2009 at 8:32 am
murking shit as always thats how stockwell gets down
December 20th, 2009 at 8:34 am
check out old clips of stockwell and me jeff frederick and tell me were not murking. then compare those clips on youtube 2 jeffs skating nowadays and tell me were not murking
December 20th, 2009 at 10:06 am
To cunt. Why don’t you suck my big black dick? You might enjoy it more than watching these “top” pros.
As for contradicting myself I don’t give a fuck anymore. Someone has to call out dumb ass people like yourself…You are entitled to your opinion as am I… but come on if you’re sick of these people let me see what you got. Stop hating on an edit that is trying to better sk8ting as a whole. All I do is support an industry I have mad respect for.. and if you don’t stop wasting your time here.
December 20th, 2009 at 10:42 am
YEAAHHH that was some of the best editting and skating I’ve seen the last few months!!
NICE that it’s just going to be online!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looking forward to the next episodes!!!!!!!!
December 20th, 2009 at 1:08 pm
I would like to see everyone kill shit a little more
December 20th, 2009 at 1:11 pm
expected more…
December 20th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
Just awesome!! Thanks Ivan!
December 20th, 2009 at 2:25 pm
So sick! Love watching these guys rip up parks, they all flow so well. Personally I think the filming is great, good mixture of follow shots and long shots. Great choice of music too!
December 20th, 2009 at 2:27 pm
haters go out, skate yourself, do a roadtrip and show us how badass you are rippin all day…
enjoyed it very much, it’s high quality and they def show what it’s all about! fun!!! looking forward to the rest of the tour!
December 20th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
I have done road trip edits…… er…. videos that you have all bought. Thanks for the support.
Our vids had quality laughs in the van, this is some boring ass shit. Who cares who is in the van, we want to see who is pulling pranks. If you try to hide that side of touring you are selling out to the parents. If no funny ass shit went on during your tour it was fucking wack and the people on it were bored out of their minds.
This whole love another roller shit is killing us. The pranks, jokes, personal insults, etc….. made us who we are. If you don’t remember those days you need to get the shit kicked out of you by the closest old school cat available.
December 20th, 2009 at 5:02 pm
Pushing the boundaries of our sport is what they get paid for, but it’s cool to see a side of them like this. Hijinks make trips fun and showing those just gets a laugh out of your audience. If your audience is laughing than they are smiling. Isn’t making your audience smile and enjoy your work why you make an edit to begin with?
December 20th, 2009 at 6:07 pm
AHHHH, that was tight! I’m jealous of the huge flowing skateparks………all of our parks in Canada SUCK!
Great edit, lifestyle and rollerblading. Awesome edit.
December 20th, 2009 at 6:55 pm
i need to know those song titles and artists
December 20th, 2009 at 7:37 pm
Just what rollerblading needs! A VERY well produced video. Excited for all the parts to come.
Every clip in this video (profile shots and scenery included) were nuts! The tricks layed down at these parks were top notch. Whether it be the solid lines or single tricks.
On a side not, what’s with Bailey’s capability of doing true soul tricks on pool coping!? Phenomenal!
December 21st, 2009 at 12:28 am
ahhh im so sick of seeing pros skate park…don’t hate on me for having an opinion, since we are valo 3 i have been craving to see some street skating that was seen back in the leading the blind days…park is incredibly boring and repetative
December 21st, 2009 at 12:29 am
oh and im not saying the skating isn’t good, just gets boring
December 21st, 2009 at 1:30 am
yeah bailey already did that shit like 4 years ago in the apple over the lake
sick but, here you are 4 years later, you should try something else
December 21st, 2009 at 2:09 am
Stockwell is a fucking artist in a skatepark. I think park skating is generally boring, but I could watch Stockwell all day.
December 21st, 2009 at 2:21 am
u stupid idiots who think park skating is all about a fuckin grind box and lines on crap boxs are very foolish, i bet 100 percent of the haters on here have not skated any of northern california’s park that have pool coping. I also bet they cannot do more than a soul or topsoul on pool coping and could not fathom lines like these guys are doing.
These bowls are at least twice the size of your local shit skatepark with much much more very and have pool coping.
Thanks Ivan and everyone for producing this amazing film.
December 21st, 2009 at 5:21 am
The people on here complaining:
1. Filming bowl lines is not easy considering you have to be a pretty good bowl skater yourself to carve and hold the camera steady. It’s impossible to have it all be perfect.
2. This is only Part 2. It’s only going to get even sicker. And this is some of the best park skating and bowl skating ever documented.
December 21st, 2009 at 6:27 am
I LOVE PARK! flowing those big bowls with huge airs and grids is just a thing of beauty! No, it doesn’t have the size and variety of street, but its so smooth! Takes less balls but far more skill. Keep it coming
December 21st, 2009 at 6:36 am
That was cool. Stockhouse never lets me down riding crete park. Riding fakie at mach 10 to grinds and spins is where its at!
December 21st, 2009 at 7:35 am
bsmith 450 backslide, haffey fakie dub, stockhouse never not the illest concrete sailor. Bailes 50′s blader full blast!!!
December 21st, 2009 at 8:29 am
fkajfejfiajfiejfiejfiejfiefjaifjiefjiejijrfieaj yea! awesome!
December 21st, 2009 at 12:12 pm
it was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
December 21st, 2009 at 3:37 pm
“1. Filming bowl lines is not easy considering you have to be a pretty good bowl skater yourself to carve and hold the camera steady. It’s impossible to have it all be perfect.”
how about not using the fisheye?
December 21st, 2009 at 3:38 pm
you need to invest in a good tripod and dolly system.
December 21st, 2009 at 6:16 pm
Ivan has a tripod and dolly system you fuckstain. How about backing the fuck off since we all know you don’t do shit for rollerblading. The dude spent his time and effort to make you a FREE video, stop hating.
December 21st, 2009 at 6:31 pm
I really hate how every thread is a film studies class now. Go jerk off with your camera somewhere else…I really don’t give a fuck. I understand the ins and outs of filming and what it does for the aesthetics of rollerblading, but give it a fucking break already.
December 26th, 2009 at 7:16 am
LOL Wow, there’s so many haters…
I for one am shocked how so many people can talk so much shit…
I was psyched for this series the day I saw part 1 and I enjoy evry update more and more!! Crazy lifestyle and crazy skating….CRAZY parks….Canada has literly 1/10th of that many parks….and they look like nothing when you consider these parks!! hahaha
