The following is copied from the owner's vimeo site:
"The Australian Rolling Open, initially conceptualized to fill the void left by the Aussie Titles, has proven itself to be greater than any of those involved in its planning could have hoped for.
From the gromms who came from all over Australia to the Pros who came from all over the world, fun was had by all in attendance.
The level of skating slowly grew throughout the day until we had an insane six man jam Pro final that has electrified the Australian scene. Much of this is thanks to the WRS and the vision and commitment to in-line skating that its members have.
The main goal of the ARO was to generate excitement in the Australian scene after an absence of regularly run competitions. The success of the day leaves no doubt in our minds of the events future, with plans already being developed to ensure these strong foundations are built on.
We know there are great skaters all over Australia and getting them all together in one place is hard to do, apart from the sick skating that goes down, the ARO is a great excuse for a catch-up.
Thanks to all that made it out. Hopefully we've given you enough reasons to come back next year."

Offroad skates? bush bashing? nah, this is my skates after the KB video shoot hahhaha. i had to land the trick on the mud for few number of times. hahhahhaa. I wont be skating anytime soon... though... kinda not in the mood at the moment. Plus my bearings is screwed hahahhaha.

Might skate again, if i have spare money to get new skates. This one is getting abit... old.. =p. I could spend as much as 400 to get it redone with new parts, new souls, new frames wheels n bearings... might as well get a new one, if im gonna spend that much. hahhahha.

Need somethin different than razors this time..hmm. Remz... hmmm

Adrenaline Video Shoot

1/23/2009 05:20:00 PM / Posted by Nimitsuka / comments (0)

Few weeks ago, I messaged by a friend of mine from Brunei, Eyan, from Surkrew.com that theyre having a proffesional videography, doing a project on extreme sports, Skating in Brunei. Here's a glimpse of David Cheok's Adrenaline Project preview.


Here's the Second Trailer, it shows some bits from the firs video session, at te Jerudong Park -Mini Half-pipes.



On that day of the shooting... The actual meet was ment to be at 6.30am and i was adviced to get there at that time =p, but funnily i was the second skating that came there lol the rest were kinda still asleep lol. Neways, the ramp was obviously wet and soaked from the day before.. it was raining... For your information, it rains alot here in Brunei, if it doesnt rain, it gets pretty hot + humidity. Took us about an hour or more to clean it all up... and then after 30mins, 5mins within the shoot. Rain went down, hahhahaha... -_-... but luckily it was only light. So the recording begins. etc etc.

Here's few pics on the scene.
