New Log Clip At Last

So, Jenkins' Log has been in serious hibernation for the winter as the cold months have been pretty brutal in the Northeast this year. The weather's starting to come back though and that means skating again - well at least as often as I have time to. I'm also graduating (holy shit...) in like 5 weeks, so I've been busy as hell with trying to finish up my studies.

Enough talk, here's the clip.

Marvin Gaye and Melting Pop

Mozy on over to 48 Blocks' site as they just featured a Western Edition x RAW edit commemorating the 25th anniversary of Marvin Gaye's passing. Needless to say, it turned out sick. You can peep it on Vimeo too. Word is that there will be t-shirts to commemorate it as well.

Also, Sebastien Abes recently put up a promo for Anagram's upcoming video called "Melting Pop." Fully HD, fully butters. Seb is the best in the biz as far as editing and filming goes - get his ass to America! Potential beyond belief.

That's all for today though. Take it easy guys.

Zeb's 48Blocks Interview + Clip

In case any of you did not have a chance to check out 48Blocks recently, Zeb Weisman just got hooked up with a full interview and clip. Coincidentally, it was my first hook-up to do an interview and I think it turned out fairly well. What are you waiting for? Check it out...

I also uploaded it myself to Vimeo as well, so now you really have no excuse not to have watched it.

Keep your eyes peeled for a new log clip coming soon!

Digging In The Crates... Again

So, I realize not updating the blog for two months makes me look lazy... But give me a break. The weather has not really given us any chance to skate outside on a regular basis. I mean, March 9th and it's still snowing in Boston. Don't worry, regularly scheduled Jenkins' Log clips will be back once the weather becomes skateable again. Also, I'm graduating university in two months (FUCK!) and my job search and schoolwork are starting to take over my life. Well, that's a lie. I've procrastinated until now for the most part, but it's about to take over my life. So, if you were wondering why this blog hasn't been updated in so long, those are my reasons.

Enough excuses, because the Internet doesn't care if I'm busy in the real world. After some digging in the crates, I found a year-old, 16mm short - my first experience shooting film on location. Sentimental value. I hope you can enjoy it.

Look out for new updates in the near future. I have an edit in progress that just needs more footage, so keep an eye out for it. Sorry again for being MIA, I hope the internet has not forgotten about me. Jenkins is back!

Happy New Year!

I know it's been a wait for a new update, but I'm sorry... Unskateable weather doesn't leave me much to update with. It happens.

On another note, I gotta call attention to Nate Keegan's recent surgery. It's been about a month at this point, but he's been skating on a broken foot for nearly a year. He finally got some surgery and he'll be rehabing it for the next couple of months. Keep your eyes peeled though, he'll be back in action soon enough though. Get better, Nate...

On to the whole point of this post. I've never been a huge fan of recycling footage and such, but seeing that it's the end of the year and a lot of good footage came out of Boston, I decided to edit a little retrospective clip looking back at some of the footage that was released in the last year (at least the footage I've filmed). So here it is, hope you guys enjoy.

Man Down...

So a couple of weeks ago, DJ took a pretty bad fall and broke a bone in his back. That's some scary shit. How man times have you heard of someone breaking a bone in their back and becoming paraplegic? Luckily, DJ is a trooper and is expected to recover fully not too far down the line. Keep your head up, buddy.

There isn't really all that much for me to update on. I've been busy with school and work and the weather has taken a turn against us. Back to freezing wind and skating only a couple times per week. Bummer.

Last night I was walking home in a state of shock - a weather-induced shock. I was thinking to myself, "I wish it was summer again." I'd imagine most people were thinking that last night honestly. Well, the closest I came to making it summer was turning my heater on full blast, using a Main Ingredient song, and choosing all-warm weather footage. Here is the result, hope you enjoy.

That's all folks. Until next time, keep it real.

PS. New Pete Eldridge footage. Sean Price. Banging!

October Again...

The 1 year anniversary of this site is coming up in 10 days, and while it would probably be more timely to post an update on the 21st, I have an update ready for today and don't feel like waiting to post it.

First off, Gavin Macmahon Nolan has entered the Bangyoself! contest on The Berrics and footage is bangin to say the least. Do yourself a favor and check that out. The voting is next Thursday, so write Berra some emails about Gavin.

Second, I have to shout out some independent videos that have come out recently. Windows and Doorways out of Cleveland, OH definitely hits on that Joe Castrucci/Habitat feel but it's unique. Cleveland has some cutty spots to offer! You can buy it here. A Happy Medium also came out of Arizona, featuring some Arizona rippers. Here's the promo. Buster O'Shea is definitely one of the better independent filmers, so support him to make more. Finally, Boondoggle, out of Minnesota, has some really impressive filming/editing/skating. Davis Torgerson's part has been leaked awhile ago and it's banging. You can buy it here.

That's all for updates, I guess you might wanna see the new update I made. Here it is.
