Straight Trippin with Skate Daily
Chet Childress and Al Partanen hooked up with Skate Daily to pitch a reality-esque skate show a couple years back. It’s been shelved, but why let it go to waste. This is the second Portland based skate reality show to meet an untimely demise, maybe third time is a charm. Watch the pilot after the jump, or head on over to Skate Daily for the deluxe edition with the bonus disc.
Straight Trippin Pilot
Too bad this got scrapped, I’d watch it. I was thinking about getting ghost doing the exact same thing this last month. It looks better everyday.
There was this series of videos that Loaded put out about three guys longboarding (yes, I know, not really skateboarding) across Bolivia and Peru. It’s inexplicably compelling and fun and I couldn’t wait for them to put up the next ten-minute episode every time one ended.

Maybe if Trippin had gone on a real adventure (a voyage of discovery, into the unknown) instead of a “reality” show where they hit all the old spots, meet up old friends, and have someone along doing a little art direction, it could have been something…
I love long treks on skate decks!
I saw a couple of those, they were interesting. I think I meant to post on them but must have forgotten.
I loved this clip. I sent the link to my 19-year old skater son with these words, “Except for the fact that they don’t know how to spell volunteer and the whole weed thing, I think this is a great. But please don’t smoke weed and please study hard for your finals. Love, Mom”
I’d tune in. Seems like a show like that would have to be online only. I’m glad the demographic for it is too small.
BTW, Weed is a town in California.
cute matching nikes at the beginning…LOL
they need to show the “behind the scenes” where nike puts them up in 5 star hotels..so gay.please dont do it…
