First Attempt

Since this would be the real first post, i figured its best to start with my first real attempt to shoot a sequence.
I apologise in advance for the quality of the pictures, it was my first time.
Some of the crew came out to session this little marble installation near the Pink skate park.

First up were the ledges - Bom & Cliff tore them up, there was more than enough room for the two of em.
That ledge has a fun shape to it, would be fun to go back there.

The shrubs liked Bom's board, almost kept it.

After the ledges came the stair set, with a landing thats a lot tougher than it looks.
Roger, Bom and Levi sprung into action.

Once more, unto the breach.

Roger found out first hand (pardon the pun) how rough the ground was. 

Bom also found out. It was worth it in the end tho. 

Bom caught that Pop-Shove perfectly. Levi was stoked.

So stoked in fact that he went bonkers. First busting out this huge ollie into a ledge thats about 9 inches wide. 

And then he went on to go for the Kickflip into the ledge, which as you can probably guess, didnt go down well.... 

Yea, thats foot in a marble gutter. Ouch. End of session . 

Do i smell a redemption in the works... ?

Levi's big finger. 

So that was that day. My first real attempt to shoot a skate session. 

Out of that first session came my first sequence. Levi's buttery FS Bigspin. This is a re-edit of the original.

Biggie. All butter.

And so it begins....

The urban environment is built using mostly logic and has its own practical purpose. But human nature is not totally logical, and humans are not completely practical. Skateboarding is expressive. It is in essence a reinterpretation of the environment. Sidewalks, streets, curbs, ledges, rails, walls, banks, ditches, all have their own practical purpose, but their form is such that it can be used as an expressive tool. Skateboarding allows us to emotionally engage with our man-made environment. In the same way that surfers compete with nature, skateboarders compete with the design of our modern environment. It is a critique of human accomplishments by the human spirit. - Trevor Burks

This is my attempt to document these exploits, to bring forth the emotional engagements that the city of Bangkok has to offer in their fullest.
