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 :roll: :lol:

To see "special K" in his 1080p, High definition glory :lol: 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 .....

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. :)

I know this is an old post but inspiring stuff. Brilliant.
So I joined some local kids for a jam. Good sk8, few disasters but no injuries. I bid them farewell, coolly pushed off down the transition, hit a stone, skidded head first across concrete, grazing my arms to the bone, destroying my jeans and knees. SMOOTH
