Some of my first 16mm footage

This is a segment with Petter Eriksson from a swedish video called G-Spot Forever that Pascal Struwer
and G-Spot / WESC Co-Founder Pontus Karlsson made.
The Youtube quality is very poor, but still watchable.

I filmed all but 2 tricks and they are all from Skellefteå.
Pretty sure we filmed it in 1997 cause I had just bought my Sony VX-1000. And we filmed all of the 16mm in two days.
Petter´s manual down that long ass hill was first or second try. Way to perform when I was burning film.

I find it interesting that the equipment I used to shoot this is what I shot all the Robot Food and DC movies with.
And if it wasn´t for this stupid Panasonic HVX trend I would´ve prolly filmed the next one with the same old cameras.


Here´s another section with Patrik Karlsson that was also filmed in early 1997 (I didn´t shot the super8).
Funny how you could get a "video part" in three days back then.

Patrik was one of the biggest talents to ever step on a snowboard and he was fully sponsored by Atlantis Snowboards when they started up with him, Ingemar and Daniel on the team.
But it didn´t pan out after Atlantis filed for bankruptcy. Patrik kept skating though and could have made a living at that too, no joke.
He has a few tricks in Afterlame, in the water slide and hanging out by some inline dude in the credits.
Here are two old-ish parts of Patrik skating.

ONE
and
TWO

Also found this clip of Ingemar from his rookie video part in MDP´s Melt Down Project.
This segment doesn´t really give it justice cause you have to watch what the other pros were doing to realize how ahead Ingo was.
Dope section nontheless, I think it was filmed in 1996, or 95..?

If anyone has a digital copy of Whitey´s /Kingpin´s movie Substance I would be VERY happy if someone shared it with the world.
