Rob Machado on CNN / "The Drifter"

Rob has lived for quite some time in Indonedisa, so here is his interview from CNN:

The B: this one is banger

Not sure when I will be able to pull the trick at 0.28sec

The B...this one is Backward

Black Winter from Standard films

New FORUM teaser: FOREVER

I love The Resistance & True life but since I have not been impressed by Forum films. I just watch the Forever teaser and I like the 70s vibes, kindda of like in the cops series from the 70s ...remember The street of San Fransisco. oH boy I just realized I used to watch this as a kid.

Anyway the teaser looks great and really creative.

Best shoes ever...from a turtle perspective.

This would be such a funny ad for a footwear company!!! The only problem is that you have to find a horny turtle and desperate too.

Seriously I didn't know turtles were making such funny noises..weird.

Zen & Zero

I received this movie today in the mail, my bro got it for my Bday. The movie features five landlocked Austrians on a surf trip from Cali to Costa Rica that pictures perfectly the surf lifestyle for regular mother f$%king surfing guys.

A wipe out that hurts just by watching it.

I was watching the new Standard Film trailer, Aesthetica which looks to have some pretty sweet footage however the Metallica soundtrack is not what I would have picked for a snowboard movie.

The last few seconds of the teaser, there is a slam that must hurt so freaking bad.

Here is a couple of snapshot. the quality is not that great but you get a feeling.

Gangsta snowboarder...give me a break

When I used to rent a room in Leucadia, CA few blocks away from the beach, I would see all those kids living in multimillion dollars houses and trying to look like homies with clothes that could fit Jabba the Hut.

My wife grew up in trailers with crack dealers neighboors. She explained to me those guys would wear big clothes to hide weapons...Maybe those kids want to look hardcore so that their mummies would give them Mc Donald's instead of a fillet mignon.

Now about Technine, how can you be gangsta lookin when snowboarding is not exactly a cheap sport, not really some gears that you need for survival.

It is just plain retarded to have those punk kids faking they are from the hood doing trick that are not even that good.....check this movie out from Technine
That is for sure the worst movie that I have watched this year.

I don't mind the lack of style of those clothes, but I mind the attitude: breaking boards, walking like you have a 15lbs dingdong, moving arms like a scare crow...that's what really get on my nerves.

Fly in the Champagne

There has never been so much rivalry and hype between two great athletes: Kelly Slater and Andy Irons. Which is presented in Fly in the Champagne documentary taking both surfers to Mentawais.

I have seen the trailer, but can't say much.. filming two of the best surfers, it can't be a shitty movie but the concept doesn't seem to be much different from any other movies....maybe it is like Blule Horizon: Andy Vs. Rasta lifestyle.

The movie is produced by the Irons Bros Production. The filmmaker Matt Beauchesne, who has produced many award winning films, such as The Campaign Series and Billabong’s new film Trilogy, is managing Irons Brothers Productions.

Pleasure Inc....

is a sick movie produced by SugarShack Production that was released couple of months ago....They started 6 years ago a a pretty small company and now are blowing it up with movies like Pleasure Inc. They actually switched last year from 16mm to full HD.

check the teaser out. After watching it, your only wish is going to be hitting the slopes.

Almost like....Florida

Notttttt...Here is a quick teaser of Cory Lopez at Skeleton Bay, prettty sick. For the past three months I have watched this clip and dreamt to surf a wave like that.... I miss Black's beach and Swami's a lot.

If you want to see the rest of the movie, it's 5'5" x 19' 1/4" Redux

Finally a good graphic on Nitro board...Buy IsenSeven

I haven't tried the T1 boards from Nitro but heard good things about them, they work best for snowpark and street that's why there is the new "RailKiller Edge" to increase durability and features the X Power Core for improved snap, blablablah....

I have owned few Nitro in the past but I have never been impressed with their graphics, it's kindda of boring. Salomon used to be that way too in early 2000. Well the snow movie production IsenSeven from Munich, Germany to is using the T1 board from Nitro to provide a limited Edition with some sick graphic (I would like the brand a little bit smaller on the bottom, otherwise I feel like I am a billboard)

So far it is only available on their website, at 399euros (close to be $550)


I am kinda of late here, I guess it takes time for the news to go over the Atlantic, the movie "Teenage love Grafitti" is sick and there are some funny parts too.
Go check out the trailer, it's pretty damn good.
