"Extra Sweet Edit" By Jake Britton

I guess lately Jake has been wanting to edit so he put together this left over footage from our trip to SLC with Michigan native Matt Hood Hood. It features me so it must be epic haha.

Elder E-Rock Grom Jam in Salt Lake City

It looks like Erik Nilsson is at that time in his life where he feels like going on a mission is going to do him good. I heard that he is really going cause he wants to hook up with this girl and she wont let him touch her until he does his mission first so thats why he is going to be leaving us for two years. What is there to say about E-Rock except that I always thought of him as Chris Farley's retarded little brother. The one thing I always seem to forget about Erik is that he is actually pretty good on the blades and this he proved to me during the last two trips to California and Las Vegas. Im sure Salt Lake and surrounding areas wont be the same without this kids crazy antics. I've only known Erik for a little while and already I feel like he is someone Im going to miss a whole lot during the blade sessions.

Any ways to sum this all up and end this I just want to make sure that I let everyone know that there will be a farewell session/blade comp in his memory. I know this is going to be nothing but a shit ton of fun. So be there or be square!!!

The comp is on Saturday,November 14,2009 from 12:00pm to 6:00pm @ Fairmont Skatepark

Edit featuring E-Rock and Friends

WRS Finals in Las Vegas

Let me just state that when it comes to Vegas theres really not much to say except that its always a party there and this last weekend was no different. Every big name professional was in town im sure not only to skate in one of the years biggest competition but to also have nothing but a good time in while in the city of sin. I don't know who was in charge of putting the competition on Halloween but I feel as if maybe this deterred alot of people from showing up to competition to spectate. Luckily the skaters who were competing did not dissapoint, everyone skated very hard in the semi-finals and finals all throughout the night.

People like Brian Aragon and Alex Broskow pulled out some technical stunts. But yet again the french were in the house to show us american whats up yet again just as they did in california. It was not only the french who came out though, there were also some big names from Australia too such as Rian Arnold who showed us that dressing like a fag can make you skate really good(only joking...sort of) but the one who does nothing but amaze me was of course up and comer/future of rollerblading/asshole was CJ Wellsmore who personally is gonna be giving chris haffey a run for his money pretty soon. There was of course legend Brian Shima who skated really well against his own team haha he killed it and I will tell you being a fan for such a long time it really inspired me to make sure that I just need to have fun skating and not care about anything else.

Jerf Stockwell was there and he is for some reason always unappreciated even though he deserved to win. Watching him gave me goosebumps throughout the night because I know how technical he can be and this night was no different. I feel the results should have been a little different with Stockwell taking first,Cj in second,Brian in third but what does my opinion matter. Sucks Chris haffey ended up injured for the night but before that he was straight up killing it. Then of course at the end of the night there was some partying and some more skating and more partying and thats all I pretty much look forward to in the city of sin.

Sorry this was so long but words can't describe how epic this trip was.

This was the only pic taken during our day skating in Las Vegas this pool was to much fun to skate but a beast at that. TJ always surprises me with stuff like this

Stay Golden Productions goes to AIL Championships

I know its been a few days since the AIL finals but really when it comes down to it I want to make sure that whatever I write about AIL Finals was something that I truly mean. On October 23rd was the AIL championships and this was my third year in a row going to Woodward west to see the best of the best compete.

Unfortunately it was changed up this year and so there was no professional contest that I do indeed look forward to every year, instead it was turned into a "Demo" which I felt made the feel of all the pro's skating not as exciting. I will have to admit that either way there was some awesome stuff that went down. Especially from french powerhouse Stephan Alfano who did nothing but show the americans that the french simply don't care what or might happen to their body. Really nothing that memorable really went down except for Erik Bailey's sick true fish up on the curved box which proved that the american are not out just yet.

But in the end Stephan Alfano proved to everyone he was going for broke when he disastered 450 true topsoul up on the huge quarter. Personally I think the AIL needs to bring back the pro contest cause I feel like it did nothing but make everyone a little upset with the turn out of the big names in the demo due to everyone partying so much the night before. Still was a lot of fun either way and I was able to see some good friends and even made a bunch of new ones too. One of the best things of AIL weekend was perhaps that a lot of good homies such as Harbor Bickmore,TJ Tregeale,and emo zach all turned AIL pro. So big ups to them and I hope next year is better for sure. Here are some pictures from AIL courtesy of Scott Moffatt.

Kevin Carey section from colorado video

Kevin came out to St.George about a year ago to live but soon realized living here was too rough and ended up moving back to Colorado. While he was here we had one goal in mind and that was to film for Greg Freemans video Things to do in denver before you die. We went out filming almost every day before I had to go to work and so theres a bunch of St.George spots in this that I filmed so watch and enjoy the beautiful skating of Kevin Carey. Oh just so you know he also on the roster to have a full section for my video as well so make sure to take note that this is just a teaser of what to expect from this hardcore shredder.

It's about time!!!!!!

Well its been a long time coming but the list of people to have full sections in my new video is finally here. I personally think this is a good group of people to be involved with and I have no doubt in my mind that everyone who has full sections with blow everyone away with how much talent all these guys have. There will also be shared profiles from a few other people all over the states. There will be skating from such places as California,Arizona,Nevada,Utah,Iowa,Nebraska,Minnesota and pretty much anywhere I know people. I still am working on a title for this online video project but make sure to keep checking in for more updates from all the people listed. I know I'm very excited about all the talent that will be featured thats for sure and if you don't believe me then go and youtube their names to check them out shredding.

Better Late Than Never!!! Salt Lake Trip Pics

As everyone knows I have been going to SLC a whole bunch lately and personally I am ready to move there ASAP but due to it snowing I think im gonna hold off on it until april when the snow clears and skating is actually able to go down. Im sorry these pics are kind of late but Im going to sort of blame david because he was supposed to get me these pics a while ago and for some reason it just never happened but anyways the saying is true "Better Late Than Never"...right? Oh I forgot this was the trip Matt Hood Hood came into town from Chicago and he wanted to shred some street spots so thats why we ended up in SLC in the first place. Can't wait to shred with you in Chicago soon homie. Jake Britton is leaving tomorrow to Chicago so hopefully we will have some awesome updates from there soon so keep checking in for those.
