Transworld Snowboarding video stylist Joe Carlino (and Gary Milton and Hayden Rensch) have reportedly left the magazine to join the Videograss team, according to news released yesterday.
“Adding the entire crew that delivered my favorite video of 2010, In Color which was made by Joe Carlino, Gary Milton, and Hayden Rensch, is a huge step for Videograss,” LeBlanc says. “We feel Videograss makes one of the top 5 snowboarding videos in the world yearly, but adding this new title to our business really brings in a huge element to Videograss. We have now added a big mountain and backcountry element to our video offering. More importantly we have added a production crew that is deep in experience, with all the filmers being highly motivated and talented individuals that previously owned and or started their own video in past seasons. We feel as a company we can now deliver 2 of the top 5 videos for Winter 2011.”
It seems this news comes at an almost oddly perfect time as we’re getting continued reports that the Bonnier Corporation is “losing interest” in continuing Transworld Media video projects. Follow the jump for the entire Videograss release. [click to continue…]

According to a story from the Associated Press, videographer Sebastian Carvallo was showing surf videos to other guests at Macaroni Surf Resort when the 7.7 earthquake hit. Two minutes later he heard a distant roar.
The Chilean surfer grabbed his computer and his camera, rounded up the other guests and rushed to the highest spot they could find: the third floor of the thatch-roofed beach resort. . . From that vantage point overlooking the lagoon, Carvallo and the others had a terrifying front-row seat Monday night as three towering waves of a tsunami struck, shaking the building so violently they thought it would collapse.
They are lucky to have survived. So many others did not.

Anastasia Ashley allowed MTV’s Andrew Jenks to follow her around the US Open of Surfing last summer for an episode of World of Jenks. We don’t really understand why Mr. Jenks has a show, but Anastasia rocked it out in this episode. If you don’t want to sit through the entire episode here are a couple of our favorite Ms. Ashley quotes:
But it’s not all rough and tough. Just watch it. You’ll like her more than you did before. Trust us.

This Nike 6.0 D-Pad Session video is pretty enough from a filmmaking standpoint, not to mention the snowboarding. At least that’s what we thought when posted it.

Thanks to funding by Diesel filmmaker Orlando von Einsiedel’s award-winning film Skateistan: To Live and Skate In Kabul has been released and is viewable online here.
Skateistan: To Live And Skate Kabul is a beautifully shot film that follows the lives of a group of young skateboarders in Afghanistan. Operating against the backdrop of war and bleak prospects, the Skateistan charity project is the world’s first co-educational skateboarding school, where a team of international volunteers work with girls and boys between the ages of 5 and 17, an age group largely untouched by other aid programmes.
For more information on the Skateistan project click the link.
