Send Me Footy pt. 17: "The Events of the Day"

  This video was, as the title states, all filmed in one day.  It features Andy Snyder, Eric Logan, and myself, Matt Nielsen.  Most of it takes place at the old Tacoma ledge spot that Eric and Jake built.  At that point, it had grown to be more than the two ledges in a row, and now had a couple of refrigerator-type objects going off the drop.  Andy took it upon himself to shut down the spot that day by doing a ridiculous number of lines, a few of which got used in Sorry We're Open.  After the ledge spot, we traveled about Tacoma, stopping off at various places.  Eric and I got a couple of tricks at a now defunct (I believe) rooftop bump.  The day ended with Eric front boarding a massive bump to flat bar, which also ended up in Sorry We're Open.  I think he was trying to smith it too when Jake had an uncontrollable urge to shit, and did so in the alley around the corner from the spot.  If I'm remembering this correctly, Eric had to stop trying his trick as a result of being bombarded with Jake's shit smell every time he rode by the alley.  Good good times.



P.S. If you're wondering about the song, it was recorded live at a gathering at a friend's house via Jake's cam, hence all the talking in the background.

  1. I always felt like that song felt a bit more coffee house than fancy soiree.
