Coming in with a well-balanced section, Corey Cawdell took first part in VICtorious, and we will be dropping it this Friday right here on yougotthat.ca. Here's a sequence of one of the many amazing manuals he filmed to give you a glimpse of what's to come.
   We will have more parts dropping in the coming weeks, with the full video going live on May 1st!

    I had almost forgotten about these photos I shot of Cheyenne Hehr while he was filming for Road to Remulak two Summers ago. Although the rail itself is nice, the run is littered with cracks and potholes that require a sign or two to make it to the rail. After warming up with a Frontboard and Frontboard to Fakie, Cheyenne started jumping into Fs Feeble and rode away in under 10 tries.

   Huge thank you's going out to those who came and shared the premiere with us, our sponsors (Lyrics Skateshop and Studio, HtO, Sitka, Instrumental Skateboards, Pabst Blue Ribbon and Who Da Hell), everyone who has lent a helping hand at one point or another, all the filmers who contributed clips, and last but certainly not least, the skaters who put their bodies on the line for the video, without you there would be no VICtorious.
We will have more on VICtorious in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!

   On Tuesday February 25th, Color Magazine will be hosting a Vancouver premiere of VICtorious at London Pub, located at 700 Main Street. If you're in Vancouver you should definitely make a trip to the pub for some good skateboarding related times! We will have DVD's on hand for sale.

   Through all the tribulations and bending over backwards trying to make shit happen, The Man has made it extremely difficult for us to attain a liquor license for the premiere this Saturday. It brings us disappointment that we will be unable to have beer at the event, so get your drink on beforehand and please don't bring any alcohol with you. In lieu of the events, we will have more stuff and things to give away after the film so make sure to stick around.

   We had more footage than we could have imagined to sift through for VICtorious, so as expected there were a handful of clips left on the cutting room floor; here's a few of them.

Our homie Keith Stevenson came through with this sick edit of the onethirtythree boys shredding around the island in 2013, look out for the133/boardwalk section in our new film VICtorious premiering on February 15th! aslo including parts from 133 riders Corey Cawdell, Shay Sandiford, Leo Graceffo and Eisei Sugimoto.

  Due to unforeseen circumstances we have decided to change the venue for the premiere of VICtorious to Norway House, located at 1110 Hillside Ave. Tickets are now available at Hto on Broad Street, Sitka on Yates Street, and Lyrics Skateshop and Studio in Westside Village. Check out the poster and the Facebook Event Page for more info. Hope to see you all there!

   I spotted this gnarly double set while out for lunch early last year and knew it would be someone's gem. Dane Pryds and I were going shooting a lot at the time and it seemed like something he would be into, so I suggested it to him at a party one night and the next day we went there.
   The fisheye angle of this Ollie was published in Concrete Skateboarding issue 126, but the long lens version has just been collecting dust so it should see the light of day. Dane landed this trick twice, once for the footy and once for the photos. No slams, no broken boards, just bangers. The footage will be in our upcoming film, VICtorious!

   So yes, we've been slacking hard on the blog posts for the past few months, but it has all been a distribution of energy into a project both Leo and I are very proud to have completed. On February 15th, we will be premiering our first full length skate film, VICtorious, at the Fernwood Community Centre located at 1240 Gladstone Avenue in Victoria.
Check out the poster and Facebook Event Page for more details. Hope to see you all there!

   Cody Dakota had been putting in some time with Matt Gravel and Mike Lyon filming at Vic West over the Summer, and was left wondering #thatsalltheweedyougot? The clips found their way into a timeline and now YouTube, featuring guest tricks from Jes Atmore and myself. Enjoy!
