  • Mini Video 96 – Cellscape

    Here’s where I try to inject something clever about the number ninety six. Something something “96 Tears”?? Print it. Segment two – Cellar Cection/Sellar Section – A tour of cellar doors available in South East Wisconsin. Fifteen unique sloped entrances were skated upon and captured in our field notes. Segment brought to you by our…

  • Mini Video 94 – Bushcraft

For the first video of 2022 I used the same Hi-8 cam I used in the late 90s, fisheye screwed on with step-up ring, and fully auto settings.  Just turn on the camera and go –  caveman style – focus, exposure, shutter…

  • Rewind: Mini Video 01

For over 20 years I’ve painstakingly (read: spent 2.6 seconds) chosen what I thought was the most appropriate track to express the feelings at hand/mise en scene of the clip/video. Above is 100 songs I’ve used in both full length videos and in Mini Videos starting…

  • World Industries, 5/28/00

    Ryan Kenreich, Chad Timtim, and Carlos De Andrade. Carlos went insane! A re-imaging of some earlier wiskate content. As a point of reference, this is what the “demos” page on wiskate looked like 20+ years ago:
