My friend Gentle Jones got this skateboard figure in the mail today. We've been anxiously waiting for it to come ever since I saw the video early last week. To us it's an engineering marvel and possibly one of the coolest toys ever made.
I could seem to get the hang of it and Gentle had a few hours up on me anyway so we set to filming. This thing is hard to get in up close on;) Mainly because the camera is so disproportionate to the figure. I've seen so many skateboarding videos in my life and for the most part they all use the same camera techniques so I knew the shots I was going for but dangit if that camera isn't huge compared to it. I really enjoyed trying to film it though and after we spend a few more days playing with this thing we are going to be pro. Mainly because no one even knows about it yet.
