Freebord is making a professionally produced short film this summer, and we’re looking for riders to fill in the ranks. In fact, we’ve got 5 round trip plane tickets to give away to riders outside of SF who got what it takes (sorry, USA only).
3 of those tickets will be given out by pro team riders Justin Oliver, Mike Hoppe and Bob Glashan based on the talent they find on the USA Represent Tour (July 24-August 2). So if you’re in UT, CO, WA, or OR you got a leg up. Show up to a ride and show the pros what you got. If they say you make the cut, we’ll fly your ass out to SF for the shoot.
Filming Dates: August 15-16, 2009
Where: San Francisco (where else?)
The other 2 tickets will be given out by Freebord based on a casting call video contest:
Freebord Short Film Casting Assignment:
Complete three (3) 360s in 30 seconds, coming to a complete stop, all while (a) holding a full cup of any liquid beverage, (b) wearing a helmet, and (c) riding down a sidewalk.
Please submit your video entries to videos@freebord.com by Monday, Aug 3rd for consideration in our upcoming film.
Note: we’re looking for control, maneuverability and smoothness, NOT speed. We want riders that can handle tight terrain, ride in and out of switch, and throw 180′s and 360′s with smooth control.
Note, Note: If you’re riding is good enough but you’re not one of the lucky 5 that gets a plane ticket, we’ll let you know. If that’s the case, you’re more than welcome to come if you can do so on your own nickel.
Note, Note, Note: Don’t think your riding is good enough to be caught on film? Don’t even ride a Freebord? Come and join us anyway. You can drink some beers from the sidewalk and check out the spectacle. Trust us, you’ll want to see what we got coming. Everyone is welcome to come out and watch the filming.
Hahaha.
Nice one. So glad my cameras fixed.
Oh, and is there a date the videos are due by?
LOL what an epic challenge.. thinking about doing it even though im not in usa…
so lemme get this straight. you have to do a minimum of 3 slides and then come to a stop? and you can’t spill your drink? i’m assuming it has to be in an open top cup not a soda can right?
i meant 3 360 slides
looking forward to the casting call…
