Hopkin Skate newsletter
|
|
|
This is what we have been creating, reading and watching
|
|
Welcome to the new format. We are using a platform called Revue. It is designed around sharing content, which is what everyone keeps asking for, our curated video and reading list. We have neglected the newsletter recently, by only sharing via the Hopkin Racing facebook page.
We are going to give Revue a go, see if this makes sending the weekly newsletter easier. Please stick with us, we have some awesome ideas the next few weeks to kick off this restart of the newsletter. Where is the free stuff and the specials? Be patient, that will be coming in next week’s newsletter, for now here is what we have been writing, reading and watching

The unexpected viral article on the blog this year has been this week’s Robert Burns interview. 1000 likes in 3 days, read by over 10,000 skaters this week. I’m so happy people are loving it, because I have been itching to share these interviews. I have another interview with Max Ballesteros that has been sitting at SkateSkate for a few months waiting to be published. If they don’t publish it in the 2 weeks, I’ll put it on the blog. I am going to do more of long format interviews, if you have any suggestions, let me know.

Robert Burns interview: Hong Kong longboarding and dodging cows
I met Robert at Mt Keira IDF World Cup this year, he was on crutches, and as an event organiser you tend to avoid people on crutches :-). But I struck up a great conversation, we continued it via email later in the year, and it sort of turned into an interview. Here it is, I hope you enjoy the read, you are going to learn a lot about the scene in Hong Kong. It is an amazing country, and it should be on your bucket list.

Mauka Maui tour - Day 1 and 2
The Mauka Maui tour is three Central Coast homies: Jack Meyn, Miles Jones and Ian Coggan traveling, skating and experiencing the Hawaiian island Maui.
The boys did a whole series, best to start at Day One. I still have a few to publish, so look out for the rest this week.

Old Child's new video 'Red' - YouTube
This is the current raw run of the year. You have to watch Manu Duhamel skating some of Pentiction BCs most intense spots
|
Finish Line: Tyler Howell - YouTube
Tyler is one of my favorite skaters, downhill run with style…so smooth. Was the Max Dubler (camera driver) getting Tyler’s draft and going for the pass?? And the reply on Twitter from Max was “maybe…”

Emily Pross Mic'd Up Raw Run - Kozakov
I am a HUGE Emily Pross fan, my bias aside this is one of the best mic’d up runs of all time, you have to watch this. “Getting in Tanners ass and blasting right past” #skatelikeagirl

El Valle Escondido on Vimeo
Luca and Cam shredding a Spanish freeride event in June. This is one of my favorite videos the last few months. Luca was super under rated on his video edit skills. Makes me so happy to see these guys still putting on the line, one of the reasons you made the Hopkin Team was if I thought you would skate forever, I wanted to be a small part of that.

Skate & Explore - Farewell Europe - YouTube

Troy Yardwaste – SkateHouseMedia.com
Skatehouse pulls out a cracker Troy Yardwaste run. On the soon to be released triple beam…maybe? No answer from Landyachtz but Charlie Mitchell set me straight on Facebook, it’s been out for a month. I thought that was the limited edition, and there was a wooden version to be released for the rest of us, but no that’s it. Some things even money can’t buy in Australia (Landyachtz don’t ship to Australia on their website), doesn’t seem to be available anywhere else.

Brongo knows by NBskates
Did NBskates get a new camera? Or new edit filters? Good to see those eastern suburb hills getting shredded again.

William Royce: Skate Everything - YouTube
If you don’t know who Novak is, he is a very talented filmmaker who has specialised in how skateboarding is filmed. Everything you need to know about making a film is here. My favourite part is the shot of Royce sliding away from the camera down the hill. So simple.
