I went to Ascot with Ben and Bryan on Saturday and filmed a couple things, Ben isn't using any of it for his part so I put it up. I'm still trying to figure out how to set up CoSkate.net, but it's confusing. It should be up soon.
April 26
Well, I haven't talked to Jason in a while, he was supposed to set up www.coskate.net...but I think he disappeared. He has some footage of a night session at ascot on saturday night. As usual, nothing good happened so I figure we should give you the crap footage. I have a treat for all of you though. Check out what my buddy Bryan sent me...a little reminder of why our video is going to suck. It will be available for your viewing pleasure soon. Check back later and maybe Jason will get off his ass... uh-oh... I cussed. Jason is gonna kill me. Late.

April 23
Put up a new link to Checkmark Skateboarding. We have like 4 inches of snow, so no updates for awhile probably.
April 22
Cool, tonight Ben, Bryan, Brennan and I went to Warehouse 180. I finally got to film with my new VX, it was fun. I put up a new montage. Also, thank you to Justin from Simpleskate.com for hosting everything for me. Oh yeah, and it's Benjamin's birthday today! Nerd.
April 20
Edit-New host! All of the videos work now. I put up a new clip from today and a montage from today.
Today was pretty fun, I skated Tyler's box for like 2 hours then went to a manual pad with Chris Whitney. I kickflip manualed it because I rock and he did a line there. Hosting should be up soon, whenever Benjamin pays for it. He got his Optura and baby death yesterday and we filmed a lot with it, it's pretty nice. The VX is coming tomorrow, so start crying about it.
April 18
Okay, the new server wasn't working, so I just put the new videos on 250free until we get the newest server up on Monday. Get ready for CoSkate.net and better hosting. And Ben's Optura and my VX.
April 17
I finally went and got a new server. The videos will work from now on. Starting like next week, I'm going to put up videos in Quicktime format (.mov), and videos with better skating, not just little things like ollieing the 7 at Clement. This will waste less space on the server and will help you to only see the best skating or something. Oh yeah, and there are new videos AND mini videos, go check them out.
Edit-It looks like this new server is perfect in every way, except downloading and uploading takes forever. I'm trying to find a new one right now.
April 16
Okay, so there haven't been any updates at 250free for a few days. I think I am going to switch servers because everyone is bothering me about getting the videos back up. Maybe Andrew can hook Ben and I up?
April 13
I could tell you why you can't watch any of the videos again, but I don't feel like it. So go here and read up.
April 12
Okay so, the server has been down for like a week and a half, but now it is up. Expect a HUGE update within a few days. I'm talking 2 new mini videos, and like 10 new clips. Today I was thinking and I reailized that we only have 49 days until the deadline for filming... we need to get rolling. So if the video sucks, I'm blaming it on the weather... and lack of motivation. Sorry guys. Oh and on a personal note, if my part is really bad, I'm blaming it on my last three injuries. Nice. Also, I got a new camera and baby death lens so expect footage to be "nicer" and more often. Later. One more thing, if you want to reserve your copy or have any questions about the video, you can e-mail me at [email protected] or instant message me at lakai56

April 8
Still not up. Check out the hosting site for information. I put up the pictures for Clement. Sorry about the long wait.
April 3
Good news! My video hosting website will be up and running again soon! I won't update until it is, because it it pointless to. I have like 10 new videos, and some new spots to update with, so get ready for them.
April 2
Chris, Pigeon, Bryan, Ben, Brennan, David Hansen, and I all went downtown yesterday. We got kicked out of a lot of places, but we filmed some stuff. Ben is making a montage, it will probably be finished tonight or tomorrow. My video hosting thing is still down, so I might just switch to a different company.
March 31
I just found out the server I host my videos on is down, so the videos won't work for a day or two. I have a lot of new stuff to update with though, so come back tomorrow or something.
March 28
We went to Ascot on Friday with like 20 other people. Filmed tricks. Put them on here. Link for Skate Search is up.
March 25
No skating today, my back is hurt still. I'll be good in a few days, though. Tyler Barr did a lot of stuff at Clement, so he's on the video page. Ben and Bryan might start updating soon.
March 23
Skated with Ben and Bryan at 9 in the morning and put up some videos from them. Got a new picture for Bryan. Spring Break ends tomorrow and we have to go back to school, this sucks.
March 22
Michael and Tyler have profiles now, but I need their pictures. I'll probably get them tomorrow. I'm going to film with Ben too, he just got back from Cancun and he can't skate because he was too busy drinking Pina Coladas. If I get any footy that he's not using for WtW, I'll put it up.
March 21
Put up Chris Whitney's profile and got Evan's picture.
March 20
I ended up going to Lakewood with Chris and Bryan, I hurt my back so I couldn't skate, but I filmed some lines with them. They were good enough to save for Worth the Wait, but we also went to Dakota and got some stuff. I put up a line from Chris. I might go to Clement tonight for a night sesh, anyone who reads this should come down at like 8:30.
March 19
Went to the Eckerd gap with Chris from 490, he ollied it. I need to get the fisheye angle Mike Simon filmed, it's probably better than what I got. His friend Ryan (aka Twitch) ollied the Peak 8, and some little guy named Jordan tre flipped off a Mount Carbon ledge. I didn't film that, though, that's why it sucks. I'm probably going to Lakewood tomorrow with Bryan and Chris Whitney, so I might get some stuff. I don't know, come back and see if I do.
March 18
We went to Clement today but didn't film anything, then went back at 8:30 and got some stuff. Steven smithed the medium rail first try and Bryan nollied the 7. Ryan lipped the big rail yesterday, twice. Steven snapped his deck earlier today at Clement, went to BC to get a new one, then snapped it again tonight. Fatty.
March 17
I put up Mike's profile, and Evan's too, but I still need their pictures. Nothing else, I went skating today at Clement and Bryan was there, make sure you throw stuff at that guy because he's a loser and he has no friends. Okay, maybe he has some friends, but you should still throw stuff at him. Cool! I can update and not even talk about skateboarding, but people still stay interested. Come back tomorrow, I might update again.
March 15
Bryan's profile is up. That's it, I don't have a story because it's only 9 in the morning. Go read the old updates and Bryan's page and have fun.
March 14
Ben sent me some footy last night, it is so sick. Nate from BC, Bryan, Chris and him went to a 10 rail last Sunday and filmed some stuff. They got a lot more than what I put up, but they're saving most of it for Worth the Wait and the BC Video. I'm probably going to Clement today if it's not too cold, so there will probably be updates tomorrow.
March 13
Oh, how I love Spring Break. 10 days of skateboarding without worrying about homework or school. Great. I put up an old video of Casey from 490, I kind of stole it from his website. It's the Euclid 12 stair him and Evan ollied. I also put up Sammy's profile, and mine too. The picture in mine is a joke, don't freak out about it or something. Cool. Tons of new footage soon, it's super warm out right now.
March 11
Clement again! More park footage! Yay! My friend Tyler did some stuff, he's pretty good. I made a new archived page, but accidentally deleted the old one. It was all old footage anyway, so I don't care that much. Sammy's and Jordan's profiles are finished and I'll put them up tomorrow.
March 10
We went to Clement yesterday, and some other spots. Jordan did a rail we've had our eyes on for awhile. A lot of stuff from Clement too. I'm trying to get footage at street spots, I know you are all sick of the dumb Clement stuff. Send me a bunch of emails with feedback or something, and if you're from Colorado tell me your name so I can talk to you about how sick I am at skating. Ben fakie tre flipped the 5, by the way.
March 8
Tons of new videos from yesterday at Clement. Sorry about all the park footage lately, we've been saving most of our street stuff for "Worth the Wait?" I finally ollied the 7 stair at Clement, and Michael's kickflip on the 5 finally got filmed. Nothing from Ben, for once, because he's dumb and won't call me to skate. I'm gonna get Clement up in the spots soon, and more profiles once I get all the information for everyone.
March 6
It snowed a couple of days ago, and today was really windy, and I didn't want to skate. So I just added a link to Damaged Skateboarding and sat at home. Check out this new sign my friend Dan Mecler made for me, it's supposed to look like an old motel sign thing. Come back tomorrow to see some new footage.
March 1
Nothing is going on today, it snowed last night and nobody wants to skate because they suck. I put up Ben's profile, I'm still thinking of some questions I could put in it. I will put up other profiles later. The spots are up, but not done, just look at the pictures and act like you like them. 2 new videos from Ben, he didn't want me to put up the kickflip noseslide because he didn't slide the whole ledge, but I put it up anyways because I wanted to update. The crooked is insane because that ledge is crap, it's like someone took a skateboard and smashed the trucks on it, it's all chunky and cracked and stuff, so give Ben a hug. Done!
February 28
Another update with the infamous Ben Gardner in the mini video section. He did a bunch of stuff down a massive 8 stair at the Ascot laying grounds. Some of the tricks are way sketchy, but hey, we all know Ben. Enjoy.
-Love and kisses, Bryan
February 26
Yep, ANOTHER update. Some good stuff from my friend Michael, he's only been skating for like 8 months, he's progressing super fast. Got up 2 videos from him because we went to Warehouse 180 tonight, we go every Thursday. Nothing interesting. Oh yeah, the clips of him were filmed with his new camera, he got it for his birthday on Tuesday. Happy Birthday Michael!
February 25
Yesterday was sick, we went to Clement and everything was dry. Bryan did a ton of lines and Ben filmed them, and vice versa. My lens was super dirty, don't mind it. So yeah, new mini video and a new video from my friend Dan, he's really good. Also, the new spots are almost finished, they will be up soon. The video is 10mb and about 3 minutes long. That's it for now.
February 22
Today sucked, nothing good happened, I stayed home all day. Ben managed to get another line out of Bryan, and just to let you know, the rail he boards is knobbed or whatever. Yeah.
