Hello. This is a personal skateboard documentary of compiled footage, some of that I have already shared. I find it better if I only share the still sequences of my skateboarding and save the film for a monthly compilation I will title "Excellent" and follow by the month. (The recent camera that I have does not focus well at night. I have to look into getting a new one. The camera does have more field of optical viewing then others that I have had). I like to produce short montages of my skateboarding. I find it is a performance art that is fun, exercise, and is very entertaining! Thank you very much! :) Eric M. Rangel
Addendum: The following are from previously written blogs about some skateboard tricks herein.

Trick of the day: Kick flip blunt stall to kick flip out
Hello. This is a new trick I learned called, kick flip blunt stall kick flip out. I think I could call these skateboard tricks I post, "trick of the day," because I share only one nowadays instead of creating a longer video. I also would like to film at different park to change the scene up a bit. The other night my camera gotten wet and damaged. Today I went and purchased another basic camera. I am pretty stoked I have one that works now! I wanted to try to land this trick and film it, despite forgetting my tripod. I used a piece of organic material to prop up my camera. As I went down the ramp, the camera moved a bit, so it was not centered. I had to keep the ball rolling so I did not really notice till after. Besides that I loved to land this trick! Another big accomplishment for me! Thank you very much! :)

Believe to Achieve
Hello. I would consider this trick I just learned to be a pretty advanced skateboard trick. It is called a front side nose blunt kick flip out. I have not tried this trick much. I decided to try it. It was kind of difficult to pull off because the coping was sticky and the trick was not popping of the nose correctly. The nose of the board would stay on the coping and the wheels would come off the ramp. I had to give and little extra nudge like giving birth to a new born baby into this grand world, and voila! This trick is not the most technical in the skateboard world, though for me it is a step up. I love to skateboard and always do my best to progress (within the realm of reason). Sometimes I surprise myself with gifts. Any talent that is accomplished, to me is a gift. I will continue to have fun and achieve to the best of my abilities! Thank you very much!

Ollie over shopping cart at skatepark
Hello. I went to a local skatepark at night to get some exercise and wind down after a long day! This is myself ollieing over a shopping cart! :) I would like to go again soon! There were a lot of cool stuff to skate over! My
camera battery ran out of juice so I only gotten this. I need two batteries so I can film longer.

Hello. This Sunday was quite adventurous and fun! One place I went to was to a skate park that is out of my town. I have been wanting to do this kinked rail at this park for a while. I love it when I return to a skate park and am able to do a trick that was a challenge in the past but is doable now. Progression. Fun. Life. Thank you very much! :)
