Hybrid Freestyle!


Hey longboarders, Finley Wegener is back from New Caledonia, unforyunately without footage.
The Hybrid 35 Freestyle has been started, it has become a very large production. I spent 5 HOURS just doing the intro. We are still shooting for all the freestyle vids (including the Hybrid one) but I'm looking at starting the editing on the Torpedo and Derringer videos next week.
Our old friend RAIN has come back and is eliminating skate spots as I write this, the Australian summer heat is a problem to. Even our rain-resource spot, the underground carpark from 'Time to Seek the Lord!' video is un-skateable thanks to a new Cafe that moved in above it that apperently doesn't like the noise of sliding.
We have all been working on some new tricks for the next videos; I have been improving my ramp, Joe has been working on his airs and Harry his downhill/sliding.
New boards may be coming in to the SSL family around Christmas, such as an Orginal Apex 37 2011, Comet Voodoo D2 and Comet Grease Shark.
As well as all of that, we have been getting requests for trick tips. Most of those requests will be filled, some of the ones we will be doing are; How to Shuvit Heavy Boards, Tips on Converting Tricks to Heavy Boards and How to Air on a Nose-less Tail-less Board.
