Year of the Nap
Rejoice, for it is here. 2019 and my first post on wiskate! Honored to be here, Thanks Josh and Happy 20th to this lovely website. A few of us boarders have been heading out to New York for the last couple summers to experience the street offerings of the big apple. The trip usually lasts…

Rewind: Mini Video 17 – Chi
I don’t have the edited master file for any of the early web clips. The earliest one I have the final edit for is number 26, from Aug 2003. Not too long ago while I was trying to throw away some hoarded crap in my basement, I found a pile of burned cds in a…

The Fountain From Caligula
Lately, I’ve spent all of my allotted internetting time talking about things that happened in times long past. I’ve completely neglected our current era of disappointment and regret. Here’s some photos taken in the year of our lord, 2018. September. Tavis, up and over. Tavis is from Racine. I think. I’m actually not sure. I…

“My toe nails are too long”
Over the weekend Josh Ellis, Nick Mistele, Drew Rickaby, Max Murphy, Sean Hanley, Vince Stranc, Eric Risser, Pat Forster, Mikey Al-Wathiqui, and Harry Reynolds skated in 28 degree weather. I documented the expression session. Fortunately, the new Panasonic performed well under these conditions! 28. from Gabe Chan on Vimeo.

“I’m going to get high for the first time as a 30 year old”
It’s getting chilly out there, old man winter is coming. That means watching Bill play Call of Duty at the greatest place on earth, Cream City…oh and skating too. Here are two clips filmed on two separate days. Cream City 12 – 1 – 2018 from Gabe Chan on Vimeo. Cream City 12 – 6…

Rewind: Mini Video 35 – Bad Reputation
February 2007. The first video that I made in that year. A new era in a way. I say that because this was the first clip in a long time that had footage that was filmed specifically to use on the website. For the previous few years I had been filming stuff to only put…

The Hostage Tapes
The whole world went through insane changes this year, some may say for the worst. Then add your own personal hardships in the mix and it can make you very pessimistic. In such dark times, you need something that gives you hope. Skateboarding remains to be the light at the end of that tunnel of…

Rewind: Mini Video 34 – Godstar
The second clip of 2006. This is a direct relation to the clip I wrote about last week, “Brigitte”, also from 2006. The same circumstances as before. It is compiled “greatest hits” footage from the “Hurry Up and Die 2.0” sessions. In other words, clips that were filmed (mostly) after the January 2003 premiere of…

Rewind: Mini Video 33 – Brigitte
We’re coming up on the 20th damn anniversary of this website real soon. I’m not quite sure how to celebrate such a thing, but a rehash of our web clips from the past comes to mind. A lot of these clips, especially the earlier ones, have never been on the internet in high quality. Think…

“1st go” by Jordan Garris
A few months ago, my friend Jordan Garris gave me an external hard drive with this video on it. With no specific instruction, I slept on posting this video. It was put on the back burner while I focused on work, skating, moving and the other cruxes of life. I finally made a Vimeo account…
