skids and curbs

I haven’t edited a video in almost a year, so it was fun playing around with this. I’m not a pro at it but I like to pretend. This video in particular was self-filmed in Long Beach, over the span of three days and edited in one. I tend to lean more towards the self-filmed edits because it gives me 100% control over everything. Plus, it lets me take as much time as I want entertaining myself with silly little things…

The first day involved a crack in the sidewalk and a fire hydrant. The second day involved curb cuts, alleyways, slides and riding between drips of rain. The third day involved a flat-tire trying to hop up an unlucky 7-stair. I’ve pulled it once before, slightly intoxicated, but each time after that first, a tube always gets claimed. It’s the stairs in the 360 clip.

The music is 36-24-36, by the Violent Femmes. I was looking for something short and sweet and that song best fit the bill. The lyrics are kinda silly, but so is the entire video. I found the song on a CD a friend gave me from over 5 years ago. It was filled with Violent Femmes albums and pornography…
