Abarta At the Secret Spot

Some old ones of Mike Abarta making the most of a sketchy abandoned warehouse in the middle of nowhere. Supposedly the Globe team found this spot first but I still haven't seen any footage or photos of it. Enjoy.

Super Sk8

Here's a little film I made during a skate road trip with a few friends last summer. Luke Savoy took Mike Abarta, Adam Bertolet, Marcus McDougal, and myself from Santa Barbara, up to SF for the Chili Bowl, out to Grass Valley to spend some time at his parents house and skate the park there, through Truckee and Reno, down to Mammoth, through LA and back to SB. Parks and street spots were skated, beers were drank, and good times were had.

This movie marks my first time filming in super 8 and documents our journey. The filming is rough, not every trick is landed, and there's random shots that probably only make sense to myself and the others on the trip. This wasn't meant to be an epic skate video, rather an accurate portrayal of our trip. I hope you enjoy it and look forward to some more of my super 8 skate videos in the near future.

Inspiration

Etnies Skate and Create Part

Check out the part Etnies filmed for Transworld Skateboarding's Skate and Create featuring Reckless Life homie Mike Santarossa.

I'm so stoked on this video! I love how they captured the feel of skateboarding in the early 90's with the music, clothing, attitude, and they even filmed it in hi8. All the elements of skateboarding around that time are represented here, this is definitely what drew me to skateboarding in the first place!

Coming Soon

All things skateboarding as documented by myself (Dave Mount) and friends. We should be up and running soon so please check back.
