"Dayum" Skateboard Video

The "Dayum" skateboard film might sound like any other lame skateboard video to come out of Baltimore. But no, this skate video was filmed and edited by Hugh Little, Jake White, and Matt Grube in association with 3Ride. We worked long hard hours and sweated many calories for this video. It took two years to make and a few months to edit but in the end it all came together. A lot of people don't realize the difficulty of skateboarding while holding a camera and filming along side the skater doing the trick really is. It takes a lot of skill, practice, and most of all experience. The film was premiered at the historic Senator Theatre conveniently located up the street from 3Ride. The theatre itself can hold 900 people which is a very large theatre. We were only expecting about 500 people, but when 750 attendees came to watch the premiere of the film we were astonished. Even my grandma came out and got a dosage of what the skate scene is. Let me tell you, a skate premier is a lot different than going to any normal film at a theatre. There are kids howlin' and hootin', cussin' and punchin', ballers and lowlifes... we let it all hang out for a skate premier. The after party was held inside the theatre where we had multiple dubstep and hip hop artist to play. Overall, the premier was a great success and a great enjoyment to film and be a part of. Once again, thank you 3Ride and Peter Connor for coming through and finishing up the clinches to make the premiere happen. Here is Peter, Justin, and Jason's part from the video...Enjoy!
