Gary Murphy Blading Twin Towers in Greenville, SC
from Mike Torres on 30 Mar 2014

One drunken night during a weekend of worshipping The Blade Gods, I convinced Gary Murphy to abandon his itinerary back to cold ass Michigan, and come live with me for a couple weeks in Greenville, SC. Unfortunately I had to work my ass off for the entirety of his stay, but we managed to sneak a few blade sessions in here and there. This was one of those sessions.

IN THE BIN
from Mike Torres on 15 Nov 2013

A collection of clips from 2009 to 2012, that didn’t make the cut from my last two edits. Either I fell, put my hand down, ran out of room in the edit, had too many tricks on that particular obstacle, didn’t grab, or the trick just wasn’t that good… All reasons to not use these clips in a profile edit, but none of those factors are any reason this footage should remain in the garbage bin until the end of time, because that’s not what’s important. What is important is that this footage takes place in nineteen different cities, and that I shared these experiences with a countless amount of people along the way.

2009 Blade Travels
from Mike Torres on 6 Nov 2013

Back in 09 I was being flown to every corner of the US for work. Sometimes I’d stick the camera on a tripod to capture some of the skating I’d do at the local spots.

Here’s some footage I found of me and some friends. This was probably recorded in 2009(ish).
