Skate video

So, the filming went ok yesterday. I don't think the guys laid down enough different and decent tricks, but we'll see what we can salvage. I also have some footage of some pretty good lil rollerbladers who wanted to see themselves on film, so I gave them my youtube username (lulijatheravengirl, I really need a less laughable one) and told them to keep an eye out for a general video of the day.

Thanks to Dave, Jacob and Richard the skaters, and Skegness skate plaza for being awesome and having such an open attitude to filming. The first thing you see when you walk in is notices everywhere going 'Warning, filming or photography may be taking place!' Most sports places ban non-commercial or indeed any photography/filming (CoughXscapeCough) so it's really refreshing to see somewhere that welcomes the filming of others' prowess (or not lol) at the sport. The main guy at the front desk even took my camcorder and charged it in a safe place so I could carry on filming with someone else's and not have to sit with mine. It's lovely to just be able to film and not worry about it. All the little kids loved it too - all desperate to be on camera!
