My friends at Six Stair (Deathbowl to Downtown) are finally finishing up an episode of First Hand with Lance Mountain for Fuel TV. Set to air in Fall 2009, above is a snap of Buddy Nichols shooting footage of Lance during backyard pool session. Photo courtesy of Six Stair.

SK8 FACE / SKATEBOARD ART MOVIE
(Whatever industry politics and possible corporate influence aside), this is tasty stuff....
and great a soundbyte from Laban Phedias: "I think it becomes more art once it's skated".
BAN THIS
Was Ban This 1988? Or 89? I don't remember...I just remember how fun and original this segment was. Blender, Lance and O gettin' down.

SOURCE MATERIAL
Drifter Trailer from Poor Specimen on Vimeo.
Most of the source imagery for the Hurley/H2O mural that was supplied to me came from
Machado's recent visit to a small island in the south Pacific. You can see some of the images in the scenes above, which is kind of interesting to me; to see a still within it's original, larger context. I am actually eager to see more about the forthcoming film, The Drifter.
(BTW-It looks like Taylor Steele is not putting together a typical surf film. Check the beautiful trailer, with Raconteurs' amazing Carolina Drama, here.)
