We've been working on a music video project for a local band, Ones and Zeros. I like the song so I put it to some video of Chris on Victoria. The name of the song is "I Can't Feel" and will be out on their next album "Chrome"

There isn't much in his repitoire that isn't landed blind or thrown blind, the kid is sick. I look forward to seeing him out there in person one of these days.

scott a, Pope, , Why do you know someone with a yellow VLX? Laughing

For sure mans. Scott you seem to be the one with the hook ups, let me know when RD and his son will be out and I'll DEFINITELY try to be out their my hardest. Do I see some chase boat filming coming on or hell filming from my boat if were lucky? Cool

(If it's cool with RD and Chris of course). I couldn't imagine handling the attention the kid gets.

forwaken, im so far behind with all the video work that i have to do. chances are i wont be touching my camera anytime in the near future. i still have to develop those pics i took this past weekend.

if you dont wanna use your boat thats cool. i know this other guy with a SICK yellow vlx that i can call. i dont know how he can afford it....he's a freakin milkman for heaven's sake.

Nice vid. I've seen a video in the past of Chris along with other delta locals too (can't remembers who filmed it though). This kid just rips!

RD · Addict Joined: 22 Apr 2003 Posts: 626 City: Discovery Bay

Thanks guys:

I'll pass that on, Chris doesn't miss too many opportunities to ride behind a VLX although now it will be in his Pillsbury doughboy drysuit! (not too videogenic!)

Myself, I'm going skiing and going to hook up with Buffalow this season, I can't wait to see him on a snowboard! (I'm gonna stay uphill and keep my head on a swivel at all times!)

Scott: Have you been out with Kevin or Mark lately? Are they doing a lot of riding?

scott a · Ladies Man Joined: 13 Jan 2003 Posts: 9810

RD, no no rd, dont misinterpret...nobody said that he was gonna RIDE behind the vlx. we are just gonna sit on the wakesetter and watch. he can ride behind a bass boat for all i care...he will still kill it. Very Happy

about mark and kevin...neither of them have been riding. i talked to kevin, and he said he hasnt ridden in a month or so, and mark is out for a year. im not sure on the details, but from what i can figure he blew his acl out and it happened shortly after i shot my demoday vid. i do know that he is out for a year (well 6 months now).

check your PMs.

Kevin Bird is also a sick Delta local.

RD, scott a,

I did a lot of shooting with Kevin, Mark, and Aaron Aubrey over the summer. I haven't spoken with Kevin since July or so, but Mark has gone out to be a "flagger" and hang out with some friends after his injury. He is doing well and is expecting to be riding by mid May. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for him, as it was a huge bummer when he blew out his knee.

The weekend of the Malibu open I had set up a photo shoot out of Paradise Point with the Ennen Bros, Schwenne, Ramsey, Aubrey, and Mark. We had both Mark's SAN and Tim Parson's VLX as towboats, so we went out and took some runs to let the light get lower before shooting. Mark took a run and was practicing his switch whirly's, so Schwenne said he should try a big worm. Mark nailed it third try.

The next day I set up a photo shoot with Emily Copeland. Mark was again waiting for us in his SAN while we drove down from Sac. Mark took a run before Emily got there and tried throwing the worm again. He landed a little funny and pop: there went his knee. I was really bummed for him, he had been killing it all summer.

Mark was super determined to rehab it right and come back strong. Hopefully he will be fully recovered for next season and we can set up some shoots with him and other Delta locals like Chris, Aaron, Kevin, Storrer, etc.

Here's a pic of Mark killing it last summer:

scott a, The milkman can afford it because he has an allright secure job, and the suga momma helps as well.... Cool

RD, The invite is there if he ever wants it. Name a time and a place and I'll tell you if I can be there. It would be cool to see him behind my VLX. awake4air, rides with me all the time and it is one of his favorite riders so he would get a kick out of seeing Chris kill it as well. Were out on every weekend barring rain (Including this Sat) and soon to be some midweek days. Just shoot me an e-mail or PM.

Garrett, WOW that's a bummer about Mark, Chris saw him about this time last year at that shop he was working for in Stockton and if I remember right he was rehabbing a knee then too. You mentioned that he'd tore it up again in one of your posts a few months back but I wasn't sure we weren't talking about the same injury. That sucks, Mark is another one of those super mellow kids that let's his riding do his talkin!

Chad, I'd like to see him behind your VLX too, he get's grumpy when he isn't riding. I'll pass that on!

nice video. i love watching chris ride. he goes so big and smooth.

i have to say mark is one of the coolest guys ive met in a long time. even after he got injured, he still offered to bring out his SAN if i ever needed a chase boat. i hope he makes a quick recovery.

RD i think his knee has been giving him problems for a long time. i met mark for the first time exactly a year ago now, and even then he was wearing a knee brace over his drysuit. im not positive if it was the same injury.

Nice vid by the way. Chris is always fun to watch. I'm also trying to get Kevin Bird and Jason Callon to come out New Years Day.
