As I kept skating and finding my legs again I found myself constantly thinking about the past and how tricks used to feel. How good was I? Could I skate street still?
This is Chasing Shadows. A one year labor of love, filmed and designed in Los Angeles, CA featuring talented folks like Ben Poling, Nic Brenden, Garret Kanter, Brooks Nelson, Jacob Bouzaglou, Derek Hall, Nolan Hutton, Kenji, Russell Day and maybe someone other shadowy type folks.
I really hope you enjoy the title design as well as the skating. If you love it, give it a share, and never stop skating. Namaste - Nic Brenden.

Following the Lonnie Gallegos f33t post, Chris Farmer just posted this gem.
November 2013. Los Angeles, CA. I had done a slightly shorter kink rail multiple times in order to get the shot that ended up in the F33T intro and had no idea that right around the corner a larger rail going into the metro existed… In consecutive order, first try, second try, and third try… - Chris Farmer.
Shot by Lonnie Gallegos. Keep your eyes peeled for F33T.5.
Featuring: Robbie Pitts, Spencer Eckl, GL-Joe, Michael Decker, Mike Mcmullen & Jon Julio.
