Here is Brian Patch’s first hand video. This was featured on fuel tv last year. Brian decided to do something different with his First Hand and he starts off by skydiving out of an airplane and there is a montage of all the sports he is into like skateboarding, motorcycle riding, mountain bike riding, snowboarding and a few other sports. After the opening part Brian Patch flys off to Hawaii and to go skate a bowl that was just built by Dreamland in Steve’s backyard. The call came from Jay Adams which was kind of cool. The night that they were filming the segment it was Steve’s 54th birthday so that was pretty cool. At this poing in the video there is some good pool skateboarding and Jay Adams shows up and skates around a bit which is pretty cool. Here is the video clip that documents the first hand.

Here is a night session at the nude bowl. This is a tough pool to skate. Check out Dave Ruel going frontside and backside around the steps at the beginning and Brian Patch doing just about everything else throughout the end of this video clip.

Here is a little History on the Nude Bowl. Located in the hills outside of Palm Springs, the Nude bowl has been a legendary skateboarding spot since the late 1970’s. The name comes from what this place used to be, a nudist camp. The buildings are now in complete ruin, but the pool is kept in perfect condition with exception to the graffiti.

It has been buried and unburied a few times to skateboard over the past 10 years for special sessions but then it got covered back up again.

Pro Skateboarder Brian Patch went Tandem Skydiving and got it all caught on film. One of the biggest differences between tandem skydiving and regular skydiving is that with tandem style two people are attached together. One person is the passenger, the other the jumpmaster. In this case the passenger, Brian Patch was simply along for the ride while the jumpmaster has the bulk of the responsibility of getting them both down to the ground safely.

One of the biggest differences between regular skydiving other than the obvious difference of two people skydiving together, when you are skydiving tandem you have a much larger parachute to accommodate the extra weight. Tandem Skydiving is a great way to start off if you are interested in the sport it is one of the greatest times I have had and I did it twice! Check the video clip below for the full experience.

This is some pretty nasty stuff! Brian Patch a pro skateboarder got his ingrown toenails removed and this video clip has it all. Shots, blood and plenty of laughter check it out!

You know the saying practice makes perfect. Well here we have Brian Patch at Point X doing just that. This ramp is 60 feet tall because it is on a hill so its not as high as the one you would see at the Xgames, the gap in between the take off and the landing is 55 feet wide and the quarter pipe that he blasts huge airs off of is 27 feet tall. The average air is about 15 feet high so when Brian Patch is fully extended in the air he is 42 feet from the ground on every air whether he lands it or not.

The first part of the video clip is filmed from on top of the Mega Ramp it shows what you look at when you roll in the mega ramp. The next angle is off to the side a little bit and Brian comes flying from out of the right corner of your screen and the rest is filmed from on top of the 27 foot tall quarter pipe. Brian Patch makes two attempts in this from this angle and bails and then there are a few successfull landings. He also rolls in off the deck which is just crazy from 27 feet up in there air. These are huge jumps and an interesting new genre of skateboarding.

Brian Patch broke the record today and will be listed in the Guiness Book of world records for the longest skateboard ramp to ramp jump of 58 feet. Also Jason Ellis dropped in on a 18 foot tall quarterpipe breaking the record for a skateboard plummet for a total of 25 feet.

It was nice and sunny today on the set of “The Grind” in Malibu, CA. The movie is set to shoot for an estimated 4 weeks with several pro-skaters set to make appearances as stunt doubles. I caught up with Brian Patch, Bucky Lasek and Neil Hendrix on the set today. I also ran into Preston Lacy from the movie Jackass.

Brian Patch arrived from Sydney, Australia at 7 in the morning to shoot his stunt. Brian and I spent the day hanging out, waiting for the directors to yell “Action!” With our own personal masseuse courtesy of the director, I’d have to say the set was pretty plush. Free food, free massage and not much work are always nice amenities.

When I arrived at 7 in the morning, four of the main actors were shooting their reactions to a stunt to be performed by Brian Patch. In the scene, Brian was going to be towed in on a quad to make a jump off of a big kicker landing into some porta-potties. About five porta-potties, which were on hydraulics, were to be knocked over, except for the last one, which was occupied by Preston Lacy, whose massive weight stops the domino effect. The scene was shot in seven different sequences. Brian didn’t make his jump until 2:30 in the afternoon. The shoot went well.

Meanwhile, Neil Hendrix got to play a Warner Bros. corporate hot shot. Wearing a suit and a gray wig, Neil would do the skating, while the cameras cut to the actor doing all the talking and getting all the girls. The actor ended up getting mobbed by 8 girls in bikinis telling him he was a cool skater. It was pretty funny, especially due to the fact that it was now five o’clock in the evening and way too cold to be dressed like that.

Bucky Lasek was also there, however I didn’t get the chance to see him skate. He must have been there for a speaking role. I did, however get to sneak into his make-up trailer and get a shot of him having his face powdered, which was pretty funny. I still don’t know when “The Grind” will be coming out to theaters, but it looks good and they have Morgan Stone working with the skaters to make it as realistic as possible.

Audiobahn hosted a special industry-only sales event July 22 – 24: AMPED 2004 Sun, Sand & Sound. The car audio giant’s headquarters in Brea, CA drew scores of Audiobahn and Ichibahn dealers, distributors, sponsored show cars and mobile entertainment media into a beachy Hawaiian-themed weekend of live action sports, celebrity appearances and autograph signings, awesome food and drink, X-Games-esque motocross air-shows and a very special private concert with the surf guitar legend Dick Dale. Spohn Ranch set up their vert ramp for 2 vert ramp demos with pro skateboarders Matt Dove, Jesse Fritsch, Brian Patch and Brian Howard.
The weekend’s festivities began with a Thursday evening, tiki-torched luau where Audiobahn’s family of distributors, dealers and reps reconnected, ate, drank and mingled to the sounds of a live calypso band. This “Pre-Amped” meet-and-greet warmed-up the guests and got everyone ready for the following days’ excitement.
When I walked into the area I saw Erica Yary from Active Mail Order and got a chance to catch up with her over a burger. I then went over to the vert ramp and and met up with the vert dogs and talked to Jesse Fritsch about his recent knee surgery a bit. Its good to see that Jesse is blasting airs again. Brian Patch was also lurking around and ended up being the one to do some airs for the Audiobahn Distributors. The all climbed up on top of the deck and stood in the background as Patch went back and forth blasting airs for some photos. Brian Patch was taking off for Point X after the demo to practice on the super jump which is one event I want to catch at the xgames for sure! Brian Howard recently took up a position with Site Design Group which sounds like a cool opportunity and it was cool catching up with Dove as well.

Friday was the big day.The Audiobahn HQ backlot was jam-packed with an assortment of the most elaborate custom installs and Audiobahn-outfitted vehicles. Guests wandered among the rides and received loads of free goodies from Amped Sponsors like Active Wear, Black Fly, RockStar Energy Drink, and more. Music provided by the World Famous KROQ kept Amped rockin’ and rollin’.
The feats of star motocross acts and pro skateboarders kept attendees enthralled, making for loads of photo-ops galore. When guests weren’t gawking at the live sports activities, they were attending private seminars spotlighting Audiobahn products, the Audiobahn Marketing strategy, event planning, media relations, and much more. It was an opportunity to allow them inside the Audiobahn empire giving them a closer look at what’s fresh and new with the company.

Audiobahn BMX Factory Team Rider Heath Pinter and Pro Wakeboarders Ricky Gonzales and Leslie Kent made special appearances, signed autographs and took pictures with guests. Even Emmy Award-winner Kristoff St. John of daytime TV’s “The Young and the Restless” signed autographs for his smitten fans near his Audiobahn-outfitted Hummer H2.

Between the live action sports, celebrity appearances, custom install eye-candy and endless food and drink, Audiobahn Amped was a chance for Audiobahn’s distributors, dealers and representatives to strengthen their mutual connection and develop new friendships and partnerships. General Manager, Ray Windsor says, “Amped 2004 gave Audiobahn and Ichibahn management and staff an opportunity to hear from our customers in a forum where open and frank discussion was encouraged. Customers got a look at the Audiobahn strategy and our plans to achieve our business goals.”
After the hum of daytime activities waned and dusk fell upon Amped 2004, guests were escorted into a private concert by the King of the Surf Guitar, Dick Dale. The ever-nimble guitar virtuoso rocked the capacity crowd before dueling guitar riffs and solos with his 12-year-old son Jimmy, a musical prodigy surely destined to carry his father’s torch of melodic genius. Needless to say, the concert was undoubtedly the exclamation point.

“Everyone really enjoyed themselves,” she said. “That’s what made it all worthwhile.”
