2X Throwaways Part 1

Since I got no new footy to post, ill be postin up more extras from the 2X dvd. Here's part 1 of the throwaway footy featuring: Steve, Grottke, Schlaiss, Ricky, and Nilles.

Krush 4

The missing krush edit that was supposed to have been an extra in the 2X DVD. We pretty much abandoned making the dvd, even though everything for it was done, armour just gave up on it. I'm not gonna have time either to make it so yeah. Only a few people have seen this, it's pretty much the best krush promo ever.

3X Interview

Marcell interviewed me about 3X for his new website. Since you probably don't know his site, here's the interview:

Marcell: The question everyone wants to know is, there going to be a 3X video?
Toan: Aww duuud.. honestly i dont know. I really hope we have enough time to film and everything but ima be working all of summer so it'll be tough. We'll be filming for sure tho over summer.
Marcell: Do you think this video will be bigger and better than 2X?
Toan: If 3X happens, it'll be way sicker. I have visions in my head of this thing and it gets me real psyched. All the stuff I've done in the past seems like shit to what I see 3X to be.
Marcell: Name 3 skaters who's going to be featured in the video?
Toan: 3? well Rhett, Ricky, and Ez for sure if u just wanted 3. They wanna film for 3X the most so I'll name them.
Marcell: Are you guys planing on going out of state to film or just here in IL?
Toan: Well we've already kinda got denver footy so that's sort of taken care of.. umm I can probly see a road trip or sumthin sumtime.
Marcell: What are your expectations for 3X?
Toan: Like what, tricks wise?
Marcell: Yea or filming wise also.
Toan: Well for the skating, everyone's been bustin a whole lot more lately. Tricks will be a lot more progressed than 2X. You can't really ask me who's gonna bust what tho, I just expect sum gnar shit.
Filming wise, i got a lot of new ideas and styles for filming. I've actually been keeping a notepad to write down all my ideas for 3X cuz I keep forgettin em.
Marcell: Are you guys with pms again or going seprate ways?
Toan: Well pms has got their own film as you are aware of. I think it'll be pretty certain you'll see archon dudes in the pms 3 and pms peeps makin cameos in 3x. Whatever works.
Marcell: When is the release date for Archon 3X.
Toan: Originally it was set on 8/8/08 at 8:00pm... it might be later than that tho. It'd be pretty sweet if we made that deadline.
Marcell: Anything you would like IL skaters to know?
Toan: Ummm... no.
Actually one thing tho, is for ppl makin skate vids and edits. I just wanna see some more originality from ppl. Sick of seeing the same old shit.
Marcell: Or just anything they should know or look out for.
Toan: Oh, haha... you should keep a look out for the GE SHREDIT coming soon. It'll be out in a month or so. My homie Steve Varial duz sum crazy trixx.
Marcell: That's it thanks.
Toan: Yep

This is the teaser for the 3X short film that was supposed to come out a while ago. It got scrapped for a full-lengther. It's a lil glitchy from converting to quicktime:

Testing the waters

I'm deciding on how to have video on here. I was inspired by some other blogs with this image click to video business. Here's a sample clip of Herman.

Ticking Away The Moments That Make Up The Dull Day

Remember the days when Archon was only a website? When it turned into a full-blown team and everyone wanted to be on it? When it somehow became influential to a bunch of kids in the area? How it motivated people to start skating again and start filming? Before it slowly died down? Well hey, who really cares. Since I have nothing more to do at college than study, I decided to use some of my time to bring back some of that hype. With summer coming, you'll be sure to see daily posts of skating, edits, tales, photos, mentions, promos, news, and everything in between. Consider this the new archonskate.com ver 4.0.
I'll keep ya posted...
