Still keen to try and get a few tricks for this. Just being a bit thick so to be clear. Needs to be filmed on landscape? Is iPhone default 16.9 in landscape or do I need to change settings? Only ever do portrait so not actually sure
Just normal turn your phone sideways landscape is all good. No need to change any settings.
Is only suggested landscape as I thought it would be easier (and I’m annoyingly traditional), but if anyone wants to film portrait that’s no problem - I can just crop or re-frame it in the edit.
Might pop the phone down and try to get something tonight, I’ve been slacking!
added a couple bits from today ![]()
Sadly out of action for a bit as hit a stone down at the local park going fast and now have some nice bruised ribs. FFS
Went New Bird today to try and figure out some transferable skills for another spot I want to get a trick at.
Folder “bun this” doesn’t exist?
Got 2 clips, both crap and both filmed portrait of course but I think that’s all you’re gonna get with my knees the state they are in
Filmed a landscape and did a trick on my skateboard in front of it this morning. Did my trick very well one time but a mosher was doing stationary heelflips next to my phone which made my phone bounce (this tragic event took place on a wooden platform) and the footage looks shaky. The other clips are half decent but not as good as this one. Pisses me off.

You might be able to stabilise the footage “in post” as media wankers say
Yeah I suppose but that wanker played music really loud with his speaker which ruined the clip too. My trick was kinda whatever anyway, the backdrop was the real hammer.
Hahaha. Expect the worst, hope for the best.
I got a single trick on a flat bank. Is that allowed? Also a strange noise came out of my mouth after landing.
I think I’m done for this - shoulder is completely fucked
That sounds wonderful. Very Bun This. Hyped.
Get well soon pal!

Just got back skating after my knackered ribs, missed the pop on a nollie flip and rolled my ankle so I’m fucked. ![]()
Ouch. Sorry to hear that. Get well soon man.
Send some B-roll of you having a cuppa.
I’ve hyper extended my Achilles but have a couple more things I want to try. Can we be a bit loose with deadlines given we’re all old bastards who are falling apart please?
Makes sense. We’ve generally got a couple more months of good weather anyway, before it gets into proper autumn, we may as well use them!
I haven’t skated in 5 weeks so it’ll take me another 5 weeks to get back to where I was, and am nowhere close to getting the trick I wanted for this.
