CivicDaze New Trailer

2012-01-03T09:56:00.000-08:00

CivicDaze is a Plymouth Skateboarding Film, predominately filmed and edited by my friend and namesake Olly Howe. It will be finished when its finished, no fixed completion/release date i no of (i think there's a lot of stuff we all wanna get on film before then) but it should be worth the wait and capture the eccentric and fun essence of Plymouth's skateboarding.
Till then here's a slick trailer he's just released
(sound tracks nice, so pause the little ipod on side of this page and turn up vimeo)

This is a picture i took a while back that has been used in the recent issue of Carve Magazine. It was used in an article produced by Surfers Against Sewage's Andy Cummings to try and help stop a large construction that is planned to take place on the rocky area in the background of the photo...

To cut a long story short, some bloke has built his house at the top of an eroding cliff. He's now worried the house could fall in the sea, to stop this he plans to have built a large sea defence / rock armoury off the beach. This is guaranteed to look less than great and also could potentially have a huge impact on how the spot breaks,

2011-09-20T15:27:00.000-07:00

I caught up with the Civic crew on the third day of they're road trip, filming for CivicDaze. Boards and hands were broken, heals were bruised, but spirits high. They'd zig zagged they're way from Plymouth to Exeter-Cardiff-London-Cardiff-Bristol, trying to avoid rain and find dry skatespots...

They could be found in a pub on Sunday lunchtime waiting for the sun to do its best to dry the Bristol Streets, not before it pissed it down yet again. Battling on with the help of Dan Paton our guide by early evening we'd found a quirky spot to skate at St. Pauls. It was still wet...

Marc S.A. Carter crook big spin out, at a pretty damp St.Pauls

walking back to the pubs after we were shone a pretty nice rail which is normally an instant bust, perhaps the security thought we deserved a break and left us alone... above Kristian Harris 5-0, below Glen Brooks crooks

Most of the magazines you buy or flick through will be brimming with shots of A1 riders at A1 spots, the way it should be obviously. Though lesser surf spots don't often get a look in because of this, 'specially round here (probably the way most people like it).

But I've always like the idea of trying to get local content published, there's an argument this will make crowds worse, but i really think with the fickleness of most spots, people that aren't already in the know don't stand a chance, and if they do get lucky it'll be making the spot they were going to surf less crowded anyway. So, pretty happy on getting some local-ness published in the new Wavelength along with a great bit of literature from Jonty

In the last few years, surfing (short boarding) contests have taken off, with great sponsorship, great quality live streaming, prize money, locations, fantasy surfer etc... fans have finally got what they've envied their football/rugby/golf/tennis brethren for having all these years

Bodyboarding on the other hand seemed to get left behind. The sport seemed to get layed off by big industry sponsors, and has taken a back seat. But the sport itself has never slowed down, more just quietened down. But this year with Red Bull's support, the tour's kicked off in great form, streamed live, with out the past lack of quality and commentary, it made for great viewing

being into surfing and surf photography, can make you question a lot of your motives. You surf for fun, you take pictures for fun. That's a no brainer easy to work out. But it gets confusing when you go to secret spots. You want to keep them quiet so you can enjoy surfing them with just your friends and the spots locals. Yet you want to take pictures of the waves, people to see/enjoy them, yet not give the spot location away. There lye's the problem...

this gets me round it for the time being

Found a disc of the first load of shots i took with an SLR, its seen better days and is so scratched i could only get some of the shots off. They're from my first season working out in France, 2007 i thinkI didn't have the internet/iphone to look at the webcams and weather forecast when i woke up, but this local stray would come in, in the mornings let you know there was fresh snow

Funniest day of the season 'One Piece day'. 80's one-piece ski suits, snow blades (the gayest things since roller blades) and a demi Mutzig after each run. Golden!

Mike Pedder, a very cool guy from N.Z. He was living out in the resort when i turned up. That season he wanted to focus more on skiing than snowboarding. I was new to the mountains and was more amped to snowboard than ever, so pestered him to ride with me everyday which he did a lot, he rips and pretty much taught me to snowboard.

Mike, humble as can be, always ripping and always having fun

This was a beautiful bridge on the way to Geneva airport, i rushed passed it and back a coupla times a week. Glad one day i bothered stopping to take a picture

a view from the bar i worked at (www.auberge-montagne.com) over looking the tiny village where i lived, the road shoots everyone straight past and up to the mega resorts of Val d'isere and Tignes, blink and you'd miss it, thankfully most people do

This ramp is in a snowboard shop in Bourg Saint Maurice, the owner Romain is standing in the background. He happily opens it to locals some evenings and seemed unfazed when boards flew off into the racks of garments

St.Foy is off the radar to most people with only four lifts but some of the best off piste in the Alps you'll never queue for lifts or find it tracked out, the polar opposite to its big brothers 20 minutes up the road

2011-01-15T03:11:00.000-08:00

This year’s Winter X Games has introduced a new event called ReelSnow. In a nutshell, eight of the world’s best jibbers (street orientated snowboarding, opposed to up mountains) have produced a 60-second video edit on their favourite street spots, and these will be judged by a panel of industry pros. The winner will be presented with an X Games gold medal at the main event and a cheque for a cool $50,000.

The list of entrants are Jeremy Jones, JP Walker, Dan Brisse, Seth Huot,Louis-Felix Paradis, Nick Sauvé, Simon Chamberlain and Joe Sexton.

They all have incredible parts but for me, i'm sold on Nic Sauve's and Dan Brisse's for the sheer hugeness of everything they do...
