All we have to do is put the camera on a Soloshot equipped tripod, slip a transmitter on our arm, and we’ve got a dedicated filmer rolling non-stop. The only downside? The thing costs $479.00. But then again, it doesn’t whine, complain, or miss the shot . . .ever!

“When I started shralp! the Video iPod was the latest shit. Downloadable video podcast were basically the only way to distribute a video magazine online.” explains Christan ‘mee-z’ Miessner, founder and maker of shralp! “Now YouTube is the largest distribution platform for video content and shralp! is still on, adapting to the new situation with even more programs.” . . . shralp! is the longest running snowboarding video podcast and now in it’s 8th year. Since October 2005 shralp! covers people, WST/TTR contests, competitions, powder, big mountain riding, tricks, products, events, video previews and everything else that matters in the snowboarding scene.

Seems like everyone on the North Shore showed up at the skatepark last night (December 5, 2012) for the premiere of the Blake Kueny/2 John Florence joint Done. Until the rest of us get a chance to view it, this little teaser will have to do.
Tonight (December 6, 2012), some of the most beautiful people in the world (yes, better than the VS runway show) will arrive at the Turtle Bay Resort on the North Shore of Oahu for the 2012 Surfer Poll Awards (online live tonight at 8 PM PST). But in anticipation of that event, check out Jay “Bottle” Thompson’s short edit on the Girls of Hawaii with comments from connoisseurs Matt Wilkinson, Evan Geiselman, Jack Freestone and Paul Fisher.
Yes, in the most of the Western world December means Christmas. For skaters it means something else: it’s Tampa AM time. And this year, thanks to money from the Nike footwear empire the entire event will be again broadcast live online.
