Barely Dead is not going to feature any ‘profiles’, however, throughout the documentary you will become aquainted with many professionals from the past and present through their own voice. - Doug Urquhart.

Black Market 2 : Barely Dead. Trailer - PLAY

• HEAT 06 TRESEDER 55/89: Beware of the Mini Weiner dog, this wheel is dedicated to Tory’s little girl, this graphic is a must have! Black, white, and purple screen!
• HEAT 06 STOCKWELL 58/89: Red Black and White screen with a nice little hollow body guitar all up in the graphic. Jeff liked his old colors so we stuck with that color scheme and just added the guitar graphic for the man who loves the instrument so…

Quoting Doug Urquhart:

I have been shooting for Black Market II : Barely Dead for a little over a month so far. This new flick is a documentary about the history of skating. Featuring interviews with Arlo Eisenberg, Mike Opalek, Jess Dyrenforth, Jon Elliott, Brian Shima, Chris Haffey, Shane Coburn + more!

All the skating content is shot on super 16mm motion picture film. Below are a few still frames from my recent California trip. These are freeze frames from the film transfer to HDCAM 1920×1080 10-bit uncompressed files… I have cut the file size to 50% of those dimensions so that they will be visable on your monitors.

Just remember… still frames don’t do much justice for how smooth & organic the film looks in motion! Also, all these shots were filmed at 48fps… so they are all true slow-motion… - Doug Urquhart.

Get ready for a full-blown trailer being released during Super Hick 2006 (first weekend of May).

Thanks Tbar57 and Kris.

Although the widebody provides amazing soul space, ideal for stable switch-ups and cess slides, every single roller notices weak ability to press your foot to the right position for royale and torque tricks. That’s why I came up with this customization. - Filip ‘Casper’ Lederleitner.

I’ve been trying to create the best possible setup for my Salomon Chaz Sands skates. I decided to choose the amazing Kizer Horngacher frame, because of it’s outstanding groove and wheel constellation, which allows you to roll flat or antirocker.

This is where i stumbled upon a problem. Although the widebody provides amazing soul space, ideal for stable switch-ups and cess slides, every single roller notices weak ability to press your foot to the right position for royale and torque tricks.

That’s why I came up with this customization. It provides superb soul space, with great possibility to do royale and torque tricks to the fullest. Especially, when you like to bend on the trick, just to enjoy that shit in style.

How to cut your Widebodies - Hints

I polished the edges of the cuts, because they were quite sharp. This would eventually prevent the smoothness when switching-up from torques to truespins or backslides to alley-oop. One last hint: be sure to get yourself a reliable cutting tool. You don’t have to worry about cracking, the material is pretty solid.
