Theories of Atlantis

As the lions circle, the antelope kicks into an instinctual mode of high-speed retreat….and as the inevitable massacre ensues, the vultures lie in wait, licking their beaks in anticipation of the pre-shredded meal left behind.

ok..somoebody keeps posting stuff about this in the comments, but I think it warrants it’s own seperate post.
Absolutely terrifying.

At a loss right now for good original content.
So why not just post some never-before-seen random Hi-8 footage, right?
Here’s a few random clips of:
Paul Urich
Mike Daher
and
Jamie Thomas……..enjoy fuckers.

Just wanted to let you maniacs know that there’s a Jeru show at The Knitting Factory in Manhattan this Saturday at 11pm. All you fools who blew it and didn’t show up at the after party the night of the premiere should check it out.

Finally, some premieres that weren’t plagued by countless technical difficulties.
What a relief. Thanks to the hard work of people like Arnaud Dedieu, Soy Panday, Jacob Sawyer, James Fairbanks, Dan Magee and many others, I was able to just stroll in to these premieres, set up the projection and press play. Read along and check out the photoset for the shows.
We TRIED to shoot a coupla’ “3 Strikes” for y’all, but Trafalgar Square was not the right place to do it.
Plus Michael Whackson was stealing the show.
Either way, we made a few brave attempts to cut through the crowd. But it proved to be too much.
Even still, we have a few tries by Vivien Feil and Soy Panday.
-Vivien’s first strike.
-Vivien’s second strike.
-Soy’s first and only strike.

I’ve GOTTA get more of these going in the near future. But next time we’ll try to shoot it somewhere other than the most populated square in the world.

All work and no internet service makes Theories a dull site.
I’ve had no internet service for 2 weeks and it’s absolutely gutting me.
Had a few problems getting the DVD into production but it looks like it should be done and shipping by the 26th of this month.
Wow, so what the hell happened with the Habitat video? On Youtube the morning after the premiere?
Who in god’s name would DO such a thing? Apparently the bastard responsible worked at one of the shops that did a premiere on Halloween night. Un-goddamn-believeable!! People never cease to amaze me. I refused to watch it although the anticipation was killing me. Then I finally stumbled by a shop that had a ripped full copy on DVD and watched it while sitting on the skateshop floor. Only got to see it once but I was definitely not disappointed. Another solid production by Joe Castrucci. Is the Youtube debacle going to hurt their sales? I imagine it will. It wouldn’t have been an issue had their video been ready to sell the same day as the premiere, as planned. But their duplication was held up in San Diego because of the fires. So people still haven’t even had the choice to buy the damn thing yet. What a nightmare! Oh well, atleast they’re in the business of selling skateboards and not just videos.

The New York premiere was something I had looked forward to throughout the entire year. But to have the Jeru show fall into our lap the way it did just made it the event of the decade for me.
Check out the short Theories flickr set on the night and then check out Josh Friedberg’s little write up on the KnowSkateboarding site

Jeru performs “Heads Up”, as used in John Igei’s part in Static II.

Wanna read about the trial run of what will soon be happening in the United States?

You all thought (and frankly, I did too) that the theories claiming that this method will soon be used in the USA to seize complete and utter control over the American infrastructure, internal communications and the general populace were all just outlandish theories of paranoid maniacs that had no faith in organized governments.
Now you can see that it CAN happen, IS happening in Pakistan and WILL happen in the United States soon enough. Seriously, this is unbelievable!!…Absolutely terrifying!!!…And in my opinion, this is obviously a trial run to prepare humanity on a world wide scale for what will start happening locally to the US and governments around the globe.
Ok…I’m gonna run away to my cabin in the woods now.
Nice knowin y’all.

Ok, ok…I’m about to turn Theories into a Hollywood gossip TV show here for a minute so bear with me.
I’m sure that “Harry Truman”, “Alfred P Murrah” or whoever he’s calling himself these days will blast into the conversation like an angry wizard and spew volumes of regurgitated conspiracy-website banter about how I’m distracting the minds of my readership with harmful smoke-screens of meaningless sensationalistic horseshit….but, I’ll take my chances.
Anyways, while you were all walking around your neighborhood last night with some shitty plastic dimestore mask trying to pretend you weren’t 25 yrs old in an effort to stock up the candy drawer you pick from while your fat ass watches Youtube clips all day long, the laws of physics, decency and irony were melting like that bizarre Nazi’s face from Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark.

First off we have the fun-spoilers hall of fame….just when the the heavens bestows an ironic Halloween cartoon scenario to the real world, some dipshit cops have to screech in and piss on the parade.

Next up comes the bizarre clash of fake skateboard-fame and Hollywood scandal with this unfortunate turn of events. I highly doubt that this could’ve gone too far in a mall in front of hundreds of screaming fans. But it seems that turning real-world humans into celebrities causes blurred lines between their real personalities and the ones they have to extend on TV.

And finally, in “holy shit, the world is really going to end soon, isn’t it?” news, we have this horrifically terrifying story. Makes you think twice about the seemingly outlandish claims of the conspiracy theory about The Philadelphia Experiment from years past.
