Quarter-Life Crisis

What’s that? Another new raw footage series? That’s right, Jake Todd was kind enough to give us a look behind the lens while filming Third Shift. Enjoy ten full minutes of the Traffic crew in Philly, New York City, and Los Angeles.

Detroit heavy hitter Nick Rainey’s “Grand Avenue” part is a great mix of crusty spots, ledge lines, and the occasional hammer.

Brad Cromer’s “Half Moon” part went live last Friday, right after deadline. I was wondering who’d be the first to tap the blubba-to-bump line. 

If Jameel Douglas isn’t already one of your favorites, hopefully his part in New Doors Have Opened, the Loophole video, will convince you otherwise. Love the frontside noseslide following the switch frontside bigspin down the stairs, thrown in almost as an afterthought.

Lots of surprises, unused clips, and notable almost-makes in the raw cut for Justin Henry’s Quasi part.

Legend has it Brian Reid filmed his Grand Collection part in a mere two weekends. Lots has been said about that ender (and justifiably so), but the back tail at Astor Place might have been my favorite clip.
