Silverlake with Kevin and Wyatt

Silverlake is my home park and I’ve been going there since the place opened some 8 or 9 years ago or so now. There’s times I love the place and there is definitely times I’m sick of the place. But it’s my home park and after all these years we still find new stuff that’s never been done there. Kevin Oetlicker and Wyatt Kreel are two of my favorite people to ride with. They both have different styles, but each have their own unique tricks. I figured with Kevin going back to school at the U of M and Wyatt getting married with a baby on the way it would be a good time to get an edit fired out at the park. We took a few days to film an this is what came from it. Psyched on the last clip since Kevin put a lot of work into getting it done clean.

The Union – Sunday Session

(Make sure you watch it in HD for a little better quality)

I picked up a Canon 60D and I wanted to start figuring out all the settings and what not for filming with it. Wyatt Kreel, Conrad Heppner and myself had a session this morning and I ended up filming a bunch of clips. When I actually had time to ride and get a few clips of myself, the thunderstorm rolled in. Bummer. I’ve been playing with the editing/exporting settings a bit and I think I figured out why this came out blurry/not full quality. Sorry about that. Expect the next one to come out cleaner.

Turn it up to 720p. After I changed up some settings in Premiere Pro, I tossed some of the scrap clips into the timeline and exported them different. A little closer to the quality I was aiming for.

Bright and Early Clip

The other morning I had some time to get to the skatepark for a bright and early session with Wyatt Kreel and a few others. We decided to film a few things and I quickly realized I wanted to do something with this one clip. Wyatt is interesting because he’s a total meat head/beef cake/ jock with tattoo’s but doesn’t like to half ass his tricks. It’s super funny because he will yell at himself, and talk shit to himself until he gets a trick just perfect. I figured the clips I had accumulated really caught this perfectly and tossed them together. Enjoy.

Quicky with Kreel

A few weeks ago Wyatt Kreel moved back to Rochester, where I’m from, and he has been tossing some good stuff lately. The other night we decided to pull the camera out for a bit and get a few things filmed. He ended up pulling a bunch of good stuff, and I even snuck in front of the camera for a minute. Filmed with a Canon T1i and a Canon 18-135mm lens. Boom.

Wyatt Kreel Interview

4 Comments

I could probably write a book about Wyatt. I’ve been waiting to do this interview for quite a while just to make sure it was deserved and not a favor. I’ve known Wyatt since I was in 7th grade or so. The first time he showed up at the skatepark our buddy yanked his snap on wind pants off, and it became very clear he was down with bikes ever since. I’ve watched Wyatt learn a lot of tricks over the years, roll through mud after falling on rails, and I’ve even had to bear hug him from mutilating a guy for blowing smoke in his face. Shit, I’ve seen him throw people in bushes just to get them to leave us alone. We have gone on plenty of trips, and is definitely my favorite person to ride with. I finally decided it was time to get him a little love, and to use a bunch of the photos I’ve been holding on my computer for a while. Check out what he has to say, and then let him know how you feel about his tattoo’s when you are done.
