CARPET BOARDING VIDEO CHALLENGE FROM THE GUYS AT AIRBLASTER, READ THE STORY ABOUT THIS VIDEO THAT THEY MADE AND THEN MAKE YOUR OWN!!

The post below with the basement boarding made me remember this little gem. What you see above is a Carpet Boarding video made for Nike. The star of the film is yours truly. I was asked to make this by a good friend Jesse Gibson who is the man behind the Robot Food films. Jess was working with Nike on a few little video shorts for their site and the idea of a Carpet Boarding video came up. For one reason or another I had gained a reputation for being good at carpet boarding and the invite to be part of this movie was given to me. Nike actually paid me a good amount of money to do this. I guess I can say I am a professional carpet boarder. I just need to wait till it hits the X Games and I am all set.

You might ask yourself, How did one of the Airblaster founders and owners become so good at carpet boarding? Well, friends it is simple. Back in the day when I would spend my fall just waiting for snow a good group of friends and I started spending hours carpet skateboarding in our house. We even built funny little contraptions we used as jibs. We would play games of skate all hours of the day. After years of this I guess I picked up a few tricks of my own.

I am going to open up a little challenge. It is open to anyone that wants to send in a little video short of them carpet boarding, trampoline boarding or whatever it is you do to get ready for the season. The video I like the best will get a new pair of 2010 Airgoggles. The videos must be shorter then 3 minuets and sent to us in the form of a Vimeo or Youtube link. This contest goes till the end of the month. All video links must be emailed to me at information@myairblaster.com by October 31st. I will pick a winner and post the winning video on our blog. Start making video magic friends!
