2012 New Years Resolutions…

I dont know if New Year’s resolutions are suppose to be kept private or not but this blog is my online journal that I look back on from time to time. So I dont know a better place to post them, for the world to see and hopefully hold me to it. 2011 was the most insane unpredictable year of my life. I took over the online editor position at Alliance at the beginning of the year. Shortly after we began filming for Lipsmack. I have traveled all over the world and met so many awesome people. I reached Platinum medallion on Delta (sorry really stoked on this…). I got to go on a all expense payed surf trip to Nicaragua. I was able to grow friendships to what I think are going to be life long bonds. Its scary too think that 2012 might not be as good. So I thought I would come up with a real list of goals for 2012 that could help me make 2012 even better then 2011.

2012 Resolutions

  • To Listen more, Speak less. Accept ideas better and communicate in an understanding way.
  • To be the best possible father to my daughter Rylee.
  • To be a better boyfriend.
  • See the positives in people rather than the negatives.
  • Take criticism better. Not throw up walls as fast.
  • Spend more time focused on learning about everything. Filming,Editing,Life, Etc.
  • Read more. Read everything and anything that interest me.
  • To push myself beyond my comfort zone.
  • To approach and talk to people I may not know more.
  • To say hello to people I have met.
  • To create something with Lipsmack that will captivate an audience and leave a lasting impression.
  • To work harder and pursue every lead.
  • To never stop evolving, far beyond any goal or potential.

Do everything in this above list Patrick and 2012 will be far more amazing then 2011.

My Favorite Videos I Created In 2011…

I’ve created a crap load of videos this year. It is my job I guess but sometimes its overwhelming to think of the sheer amount of videos. A lot of time and work goes into each video. The problem with the internet is there such a mass of videos constantly coming out that old videos get forgotten about quite quickly. I sometimes forget what videos I made and don’t even ask me to remember the songs I used this year. Here’s just some of my favorite videos that pop into my head right now.

Jimmy Trask! We shot this video in a couple days but the music, the riding and everything just worked out. I love this video.

I got the most epic chance to go to the Philippines CWC twice this year. It was my dream for the longest time to go and shred. Being able to go twice this year alone is fucking epic. This is a video I made for Nike 6 of their wakeskaters shredding.

Josh Palma’s Passion! Josh is an awesome rider and we put some serious passion into making this little flick. Think it turned out pretty cool.

Slingshot Prologue. This was suppose to be the intro, the hint that we were working on a full length. A lot people told me they enjoyed it. I’m still stoked to watch it and I hope you guys enjoyed it as well. There is so much awesomeness coming from Lipsmack very soon. Keep an eye out!

Wind or No Wind 2011

A little recap video from this year’s Wind or No Wind that I attended last week held at Cam Sur Watersports Complex in The Philippines.

This unique event brings the best Wakeboard Style kiteboarders from around the world to one spot for a week to ride. Using the cable, riders are able to progress their rail riding skills like never before.
