A quick insight to the typical weekend with Orion Live Skate Contests. This month Orion Live has teamed up with non other than Santee’s finest. Damien Wilson and the rest of the Fester household provided us with a hell of an obstacle and a kick ass time.

We started the day off with a couple games of shoes and beers and before you know it the place was packed and the show had begun. Andrew Dipaolo actually ended up taking the throne on this one though you would never know from watching this edit.

Footage was takin in more of a fun Broll like manner rather than actually focusing on the skating itself. Wanted to kinda portray the good times we’ve been having over here at Orion while provided you all with a free online HD streamed competition.

Couple Focus Pulls were definitely a bit off as I was having some serious issues with my Zoom’s Aperture Diaphragm (It wouldn’t come out of 3.5 or 2.8) I literally had to drop my native iso back to 100 and then give it extra shutter to maintain a solid dynamic range. - Max Manning.

Chosen Few Profiles are unlike anything else that comes out on the internet. These profiles are filmed for as long as 15 months before their ready to come out. We won’t put a Chosen Few logo and call it a chosen few profile until we know it’s amazing. Tyler Hester is only the second skater to do a Chosen Few Profile. A lot of time, money and most importantly determination was put into his profile. These are the sections that break down the wall between something that comes out on a DVD or something that comes out on the Internet. It’s not just an “online edit” and it’s above any normal DVD section. This is a CHOSEN FEW PROFILE. We are very proud of Tyler for all his dedication and hard work he put into this profile.
