Nick is currently putting in the work for a pretty damn good debut of philly-based video magazine.

A new HD edit I put together… look at it as a 2008 promo video.

Don’t ask how I came across this… team skaters Nick Danchuk and Travis Capacete featured in this vid. Pretty awesome. Nick owns the sickest jacket I ever seen.

I think this was probably one of the best episodes of the infamous Barreto’s Basement show. Will Barreto’s Basement make its return ever again? I have no idea. Alot of work would have to be done.

I have decided to shoot a double video biography of team inliners Nicholas Danchuk and Travis Capacete. These two guys are some pretty unique, talented, and entertaining fellows to say the least. Entire bio will be shot in HD and should be a pretty damn good edit. Look forward to watching it in about 3 or 4 weeks.

The Distracted Midwest Tour was pretty damn swell. Chris, Nick, myself, and new team skater, Travis went on a 9 day trip through the Midwest. We hit Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Louisville, and Cleveland. Every city had alot to offer. Thanks to a young lady named Morgan, we were able to find Rob Dyrdek’s or DC’s skate park in Cincinnati for one of the first stops of the tour. I lost some respect for Mr. Dyrdek when I learned that bikes were not allowed at the park. Other than that, the skaters shredded the park and much footage was collected. The following day we rode downtown Cincinnati, or the closest thing to the ghetto. Cincinnati was a cool city to hang out and ride in. We then made our way to Louisville where our hotel was only 10 minutes from one of the sickest skate parks in the country. We spent most of the 2 days we were there at the skate park and managed to film only one clip there. Alot of stuff went down at the park, but no one really wanted to pick up the camera to film it. Sunburn, hillbilly inliners and their weird rundown local spots, the longest hospital visit ever for just a few stitches to the chin, and a weird cult at our hotel pretty much sums up our stay in Louisville. And finally Cleveland was the last stop of the tour. By this point Barreto had had it with all of us and basically didn’t speak to any of us the entire first day there. We arrived at the hotel, rested, and drank in the hot tub at the hotel all night. On the final day, me, Travis, and Nick went out to Cleveland while Barreto stayed in the hotel the entire day. We rode a crappy skate park right next the the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, got into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame for free, and then went to an Indians game. It was a great trip and a great experience with a bunch of cool dudes.
Road Trip video coming soon!

Distracted 2 Nights in April from Joseph Mikos
This is a quick edit I put together of the late night Philly session and the late night NJ session from this past week. Nothing really insane… just an HD edit I wanted to put together. Sound goes a little out of sync toward the end — not sure why. It doesn’t go out of sync on youtube, but the quality isn’t nearly as good on youtube.

I took a late night trip to Philly Tuesday night to skate/film with Nick. We got some photos and some clips. Here are some of the photos. I’m working on putting together an edit within the next 2 weeks.. hopefully all HD.
