when i started skateboarding, my mom told me i had to wear a helmet. failure to do so resulted in me not skating for a week or however long she saw fit. needless to say out of love for skateboarding i was willing to wear a helmet. those days are gone now but the video documentation will live on forever!
this was a "part" that i made a long time ago, probably the best thing i will ever produce. i had a camera that recorded on vhs tapes. because i didnt have any editing equipment, i had to be creative. somehow i figured out how to plug my camera into the vcr. i inserted a blank tape and when the cameras tape got to a clip i wanted in my part, i hit record on the vcr. it took forever and you can see where each clip is cut off thanks to the tracking (aka the snowy parts every few seconds for those of you youngsters not familiar with vcrs haha)i also somehow figured out how to connect a cd player to one tv, which was connected to another tv so i could record a song onto a fresh vhs tape while also copying the original tape onto the master tape. i used a random song from lifehouse because it was long enough and i thought it fit some of the pathetic skating, but i decided to change that to some maiden, again because its long enough and more fun to listen to. so please sit back and enjoy my first part, im proud of it and glad i can look back on my history on a skateboard.
i honestly think i was better at skateboarding back then....
