Working on my hangtime at #bowlbergfidel Small quarter airs are fun. Thats where technique can be mastered in detail. Its harder compared to bigger transitions and its easy loosing balance or angle in the sharp moments that need precise movement 🙂 Seemed like tonda – Franks doggo – knew exactly when sth was wrong or when Id be in control. Post some in comments for Tonda :)More on my insta:https://Instagram.com/Jo.zenk#rollerblading #inlineskaten #bergfidel #mnster #bowl #doggolove
In rollerblading we tend to focus on success or suffering. Videos have historically celebrated the victory of landing a trick or the horrible, and sometimes humorous, consequences of when it all goes terribly wrong. However, we rarely give any attention to the process of trying to land a trick and the various elements that sometimes make it unachievable.
Lewis Bowden and I recently went filming and he got into a battle with a relatively complicated line. Despite almost landing it on the first attempt, the next 30-plus tries resulted in fatigue, injury and the obstacle he was skating gradually getting more and more damaged, and ultimately he was unsuccessful.
Rather than let the footage go to waste, we thought it might be interesting to compile all the attempts and discuss the various elements which made getting the clip difficult. We also then got on to the topic of how blading is portrayed at large.
Talk about an adventure down under! Tasmania should be a destination on everyones bucket list.
It has been a very frustrating time editing this however. Unfortunately i lost 32gig of footage somewhere along the bay of fires. 🙁
I apologise to everyone that busted out in Hobart. I also am gutted to have lost all the amazing footage we had captured along the way. It just gives you an idea of what Tasmania has to offer when you see that this is only 1/3 of the places we went to. A memorable experience not to be forgotten. Sunshine, Ever-changing landscapes with a good ol Aussie feel to it. Tasmania, You really did us proud. Thanks to the legend locals for the good times.
