This was the first handrail photo I ever shot street, and although the background is overexposed and my skater slightly underexposed, im still pretty happy with it considering it was first try. I had a little too much head room in the original so i cropped a bit out, if i just went closer and pointed further down the rail would have been more bent and gnarly looking. I am very happy with the timing though, which is usually something I suck at. FIRST T

Fog Banks

Kai drove us to fog banks, what a good sesh!

DANG! Nolan demonstrates his never ending progression on transition in park or street with this front 5-0 to switch back crook. And this ain't no skanky stall, count those frames of switch crook, yup five frames of grinding.

He then proceeded to boost this frontside ollie over my fisheye and back into the bank, only after flinging a few bunts at my camera and flashes.

Mr. Kai Hoecke of frg films then found time to put down his camera and put up this back tail stall, fancy styles.

Tanner Grisbrook then backed the back tail by rollin up and smokin a blunt stall on the beastly bank, which may be a little steeper than it appears on a screen.

Nate finishes up the session with a throw back to the old school days with this hyper speed boneless 5-0 stall, can't no flash freeze this guys fast feet.

Boltage without Rollage

Here's a quick edit of some footage we've stacked up that isn't getting used for any of our projects we have going on at the moment.



The last clip was sent to you've been framed, but they didn't want it.... idiots... it's by far the most funny thing they'll ever have on their show!

Nollie bs flips are pretty hard to shoot, especially when you working with a set only a few feet wide with a handrail in the way, that being said I would imagine it was probably a few times harder to actually land the trick rather than just ask some friends to hold flashes and press a button. good work joey

Griffin Kirby

Click here to view sequence. Yet again another trick on this spot that deserves flashes, but I can forgive Griffin for just wanting to barge this spot with no set up, security was watching us through the glass so Griffin managed to commit first try. Hopefully he can forgive me for blowing the first few frames, as I will try to used to this FIRST T business.

Click Here to view the sequence. I blew it pretty bad here. Trying to make the photo look more interesting I used a wide aperture and a deep focal length to isolate joey's kickflip in the focus, instead i focused more around the roll away which made the pop grossly out of focus. Next time I try to get artsy with depth of field, ill shoot beside the skater. Once again I left the spot saying at least I captured the trick, but lesson has been learned and I know I wont blow it this bad again, if anyone even sees this that is!

Nolan Waller

First post!

click Here to view sequence. note to self, if your shooting on a cloudy day and the only light source is behind you, ALWAYS USE FLASHES, no amount of contrast or exposure changes can make this sequence properly lit, oh well at least I captured the trick. Next time though nolan, you can wear shades, sissy!

DUNBAT GLORY

Jason Rodziewicz proves the park is still skateable after lights out...

What is there to say about the now nationally infamous Dunbat. Not much that isn't already common sense to all the locals who pretty much treat the park like a second home. If you don't already know you probably never will, but the simplicity and perfection of this skatepark is, in my opinion, unrivaled by any other skatepark in the world

Poyner gets the ramp up in three days, rain or shine

It's got a mini, if you can call it a mini, the things almost got vert on it. Its got flat,

if you can call it flat, being used as a hockey rink in the winter time the park is not

only the smoothest, but also the most even (sorry ashbridges speed bump ground) surface. Its got rails, 18 feet long and circular, its got ledges and manny pads, and my favorite obstacle, even a triton

barrier Master skate architect Rob Poyner

Jason again, this time with a rather large fs ollie the day the ramp was up. Directly after this photo we proceeded to guzzle brews, and then skate street with relative success.

Designed and built the park, so the naturally dunbat is also occasionally referred to as Poyner

Park. So bag your cans and roll your phillies, or at least a large water considering the lack of park shade, cause with DYAR Pizza Falafel and Shawarma right around the corner (c'mon, one push from McShits), you can skate all day till lights out at 11. Where? You dun know? DUNBAT fool

New Prism Trailer & Photo

Basically, here's the gist of how things stand at the moment. We've been filming the video for a year and a bit now, and ideally want to try and get it finished by the end of 2010.

For the minute though, we've just got to keep filming and keep you entertained, so here's another little trailer!

The music was kindly supplied by the extremely talented Jon Kennedy. You can expect to hear some more of his magical music in 'Prism'.... once we get it finished.

To end this post, I'd like to reveal a new photograph.

Matt the Whale finally overcame one of the Bottelino's handrails today. We had to use a sheet of wood and a sheet of metal in order to make it skateable due to the annoying presence of 'blind man bumps'. The footage will appear in his 'Prism' section somewhere.

Stay tuned.

October 2009 Trick of the Month

A weekend at Dorchester

Last weekend (6th & 7th of March), myself, Leon Clark and Matt the Whale took a trip to Dorchester to skate the park there and to hit up some neighbouring street spots.

Our weekend also took us to Weymouth, where we had a very fun time skating some quirky seafront obstacles and a very shit skatepark.

Besides the occasional shitty skatepark and icy cold winds, we had a great time. And here is an edit for you all to show you how much fun we had down south!

...oh I do like to be beside the seaside...

Another edit on the way...

Back to Work

As promised, we have cooked up an edit for you! This edit features even more footage that isn't going to be in the film, but it's too good just to throw it out without you guys seeing it first.

Due to the weather getting slightly better, we've been able to step outside of the UK Ramp Hire warehouse and bag a few clips for the film at some of our favourite spots.

Look out for some more photos and edits coming your way shorty.

New Looking Site/Blog combo

Welcome to the refreshed Redlight website. We've ditched the old site as it doesn't really look like 'us'. The simplified, functional blog layout is much easier to navigate and work with, thus we've changed things.

To celebrate our new look, here's by far one of best skateboard videos to emerge from the depths of the South West.

Please take the time to enjoy Louis Gane, George Nevin and Rich Smith's 'Bristol's Finest'.

F*cking have that!
