Skater For Life - Chris Kelman

This is the first in a series of shorts films ive made in which the featured skater talks about how they became involved with and continue to be involved with skateboarding.
Part one features Chris Kelman (Chris K)
I had problems with the sound when recording this so you'll have to listen carefully

To see "special K" in his 1080p, High definition glory you'll need to view on youtube or Vimeo rather than the little window below.

in the window below, click on the youtube icon bottom right, the video should open in a new (youtube) page. select the 1080 option and full screen option. you'll probably have to allow it to buffer a while for it to play back smoothly.

alternatively, select the Vimeo link and view in Vimeo. while the picture is better on Vimeo i find playback is not as smooth and sound is annoyingly out of sync

anyway .....

I'm really impressed by that guy. Handsome, good looking, eloquent, great skater.
Hold on a minute! It's me!

Really really impressed by it Ian. Well chuffed. What more can I say?

That's fucking great! Well done chaps.

That was cool. Expect big offers Chris!

Thats awesome! I really enjoyed that, I can't usually be arsed to sit and watch anything but that was ace.

Good work Ian and Chris

*APPLAUSE*

That's brilliant - love the close-ups - great music, great stories, great accent!

Really really good.

yeah!!

Excellent work Ian !
Chris, you're right on the money about..er..you...A really eloquent piece.
Its always a pleasure to hear thoughtful stuff as a break from the " gnarly dude ", young punk vids.

Loved it. Really nicely filmed and edited.
I saw Andy Cieleki's trailer too, it says march 2011.. well?

When is it my turn? Spare rooms available for you and your riggers/grips/best boy.

A really eloquent piece.

Exactly. Both the words and the photography.

Stil waiting for the first c*nt to ask for subtitles.

We got andys skate footage and recorded a couple of interviews but neither of us were happy with the sound (on the interview) so we need to re record.

Ace,

Well done guys.

Great project you have here Ian. Nicely filmed and very watch-able.

Well done Special K, for the 35 years of rolling and telling it "how it is!"

AndyC is running late I see.......

Prima Donna.

I can't work under these conditions...

Damned
But who was the ugly old git you got to play the part of Chrisk?

Took him ages to get the accent right.

Cheers for sharing!

Fantastic, well done both of you.

can i have a version with subtitles please

cant understand a word that lanky tit was saying

FUCK OFF! - Do you understand that?

[Carl Arnfield]

loud and clear

can i have a version with subtitles please

cant understand a word that lanky tit was saying

here ya go this should make it a bit easier .....

great little vid - i wanna go skate now

Truly excellent. I dof my cap.to both of you.

That was one of the best bits of film I`ve watched for a long time. I do wish they`d pop vids like this in ten minute slots on tv. There`s so much more there than just a chap who`s an older skater, came across as a compact life story. Thanks very much to Ian for making it and thanks to Chris for a superb tale.

^^^ wot they all said ^^^ although i was a bit dissapointed that Chris no longer has long girly locks & 3d glasses. You should approach Airwalk with this, great bit of product placement

Fantastic, professional and engaging. Proper job.

Poor sod who is next......... There is no pressure.

I really enjoyed this video, great work. I can relate to all the reasons for wanting to keep skating too.

I know this is an old post but inspiring stuff. Brilliant.

LEGEND

The kids love him.

Enjoyed this - nice work fellas. Bit late to the party and all that.

Well done! very cool video...

46 years old myself, and back into it now....... about time.... would love to have a skate mate my age so I do not feel ackward when turning up to a skatepark.... .
