(reviewing footy with my boy Zac Miner on a recent trip to Canberra)

Filming is now well underway on our new video, 'Nahyourightmate'. I'm looking to definitely have this bitch done in the next six months, with a premiere and DVD release soon thereafter. Expect full sections from young buck Marc Arnold, Mick Bayzand, and Liam Fahy Hampton, with appearances by many other Melbourne and Canberra street thrashers.

That's right, Dan has left for the big smoke and is now living in Melbourne. After a couple of days living in the ghetto, he has now moved in with Liam Fahy Hampton and Kym Grosser.

Dan has started work on his new video coming out in the not to distant future, and judging by what he has got so far it seems to be a banger.

Just A Miner Problem

Zack Miner is now on the filming mission with my Gretzky 3D hockey slaying brother. They are filming for the upcoming video out sometime next year.

Miner is having some problems keeping his shoes in working order though, he managed to blow both toes out of his shoes while doing a large downside whip. So anyone out there with a shoe company give this brother a helping hand, he is riding in his house mates shoes which are 1 size to small!

till next time, naryouralrightmate.

Liam Fahy Hampton: The College Years

Sometimes it feels as though this blog should be renamed 'The Life and Times of Liam Fahy Hampton." I mean, I mention him in every other post. This is partly due to the fact that we don't have spare photos of anyone else, and also that none of our other friends are doing shit at the moment.

The latest development is that Liam has now been picked up by both Profile and Orchid in the US. He even had an interview (wtf) at the Little Devil warehouse.

In even bigger news, Liam has made his first appearance in BMXPRESS (Australia's premier BMX publication) with a bangin' pedal slide on a foot high skatepark rail. I know this has been a dream for a long time, so if you see him knocking about be sure to give him a firm handshake and a 'nahyourerightmate.'

That's it for now. I will update with more useless shit as it come to hand.

Test 1.2, Test

Well Dan finally figured out how to give me, his illiterate, photo taking brother a login. So look forward to incoherent post and random photos of which i cant use for anything.

Today's a photo of Luke 'Fitty' Weinman busting a footjam on Fadden Bowl's double quarter. Named so because of the large lump sticking out half way up it.

Hell Stallion

This is the first prototype of Liam's signature frame - the Hell Stallion - from Colony. Low slung and super light.

The bastard child of Mike Aitken and Chase Hawk

Luke 'Fitty' Weinman.

This kid is so damn good. And he's only getting better.

DOPE UNUSED PHOTO

I love this photo.

Sponno!

Liam is now living in Melbourne and has been picked up by Colony, Animal (Australia) and Orchid (Australia as well). He is riding a Kenny Raggett frame (WTF) and has already dented the top tube with his shin while attempting to whip over a 13 stair rail (WTF!) Word is that he also has a signature frame in the works with Colony, tentatively named the 'Hell Stallion.' Appropriate.

Filming on our next project will begin later this year when I move down to Melbourne.

Liam Fahy Hampton's section from the ill fated Run At Me, Slut

Here it is - finally. Get it in your peepers, kids.

Please don't rip the video to youtube. I've dropped thousands of dollars and retarded amounts of time into making this thing, and it would kill me to see it as a pixelated mess. And if the file size is really too big for you then just e-mail me and I'll see what I can do.

Also, we're already looking at making a follow-up, so if you enjoyed the video and have a spare buck or two in your paypal, help a brother out! (dan@runatmeslut.net)

Damn, I haven't posted on here in a minute. In fact, I had forgot it existed until I saw a link on The Come Up.

Anyway, the biggest news is probably that the video is no longer a 'video,' as such. It will not be released in DVD form. The main reason for this is it's just become too hard for me to film with all the riders. I'm in Sydney for work and everyone else is in either Canberra or Melbourne.

The good news is that the footage will still be released... online. This way I can release sections periodically, rather than having to wait until they're all finished. It also means that you don't have to pay for it or rip it to youtube. You can just download it from here. First up will be Liam Fahy Hampton's section, which is almost complete.

Speaking of kooks...

You wouldn't know it to look at him, but this kid is like a retard savant when it comes to this keyboard. Has no real knowledge of music, yet can slay some epic 20 minute solo like you wouldn't believe.

Clicky Stills

More soon.

I don't know if anyone will care, but I have decided to create a weblog to document the production of our video (Run At Me, Slut).

For those who don't know, the video will feature full parts from a number of reasonably unknown Australian riders. Namely, Zack Musarsa (Melbourne), Daniel Wallis (Canberra), Zac Miner (from some redneck town where they have an annual ute rodeo), and Liam Fahy Hampton (Canberra). This line up may change before we're done, but it's pretty much how I would want it. All these guys are good friends of mine, and they also happen to be sufficiently awesome on bikes. The production should run for about two years (we're one year into it right now).

What I really hope this video does is promote some of Australia's lesser known riders. And I think when these guy's finish the sections they want to make, it will blow people's mind.

The filming and editing will be done solely by myself (which is hard at times, believe me!), and is heavily influenced by skate videos (because that's what I'm into). Production quality is just as important to me as the riding. I also vow to never use Australian hip hop, because I hate that rubbish.

I will try to keep this site updated with video and photos from the production. The video side might be lacking a bit though because we don't want to pop our load before the video is even out. I will try though.

Peace.
