So, about two years ago I broke my ankle and it took a LONG time for it to get better. Then, recently, I re-injured that same ankle and I've had to take it easy in the flip/tricking department. But, I'm thankful to report that through the grace of God my ankle has finally been getting back to it's former glory.
As a result, I decided to train on it again. And heck, as long as I'm gonna be spending some time upside down, I might as well film it. Right?
November was a pretty great month for me. I had a good amount of work on some pretty big productions. I really feel like some good things are in the works for me. As for his video, it was pretty much just filmed in the down time.
We wanted to make a movie, but it was too dark. So we gathered a mess of two hundred watt bulbs and made a light. Basked in the soft glow of 1,800 watts all we had left to do was dangle some from the ceiling and make this little movie-film-commercial thingy. Dig?
By now it's no secret, I'm sort of a dullard. I'm not a very adventurous person. I would rather sit in the basement eating cookie dough, watching my twelfth straight hour of Storage Wars than... say... expose my skin to a single ray of sunshine. I haven't gone out to check my mail in almost two months because I'm afraid I might experience a hi by simply breathing the untainted oxygen of the outdoors.
And my friends, Chris and Rob, are no different. I'm surprised we're able to stay in contact like we do, seeing as the energy it takes to type a single text demands at least an hour long nap and another tub of cookie dough.
And yet, call us crazy, we tried our luck this Friday morning. We braved leaving the comfort of our mother's basements, and I gotta tell ya, I don't see what the big deal is...
I mean, just look at this video documenting all the fun we DIDN'T have
This is pretty much my final "journal" entry of the summer. The leaves are changing, the weather is getting colder, and my harddrive is filling up with useless footage I won't be able to use anywhere else.
For those of you who don't know, my friends Chris Romrell, Robert Bennett and I have recently started a company called the CBR Stunt Team. We perform stunts for film and television as well as live performances. Other members include Corbett McAllister, Ben Alexander, Deven Davenport, and Christian Russell.
Anyway, I found this online today. It's an interview with Danny Trejo (aka: Machete), talking about the film "Zombie Hunter" of which CBR was the official Stunt Team. Check out what he has to say about us!!
And just for the record, Danny is one of the nicest men I've ever met. Super cool and super fun to work with. It was a great experience and one I'm not likely to forget.
