Skate the Cape 8

(Dave Gammon) — Wed, 01 Sep 2021 16:36:30 GMT

Faceplant Boardriders is hosting Skate the Cape 8 on November 5-7, 2021 at Cape Henlopen State Park in Lewes, Delaware. It's a weekend festival of Longboarding and Music. I went to number 7 back in 2019 as the official photographer. This year, a number of shots are being used on the @sk8thecape instagram for promoting the upcoming event.

Squiggly Lines

April 26 - 28, 2019 was the Maryhill Spring Freeride out in Goldendale, Washington. Out there, I met Sean Rooney, a longboarder from Chicago. We both stayed around an extra day and hit some local roads between the Maryhill site and Portland, Oregon. Afterwards, we collaborated further on the edit itself. Sean picked out the music and I worked on lining things up after that.

Shredding with Nico 2

(Dave Gammon) — Sat, 08 Dec 2018 16:45:00 GMT

Here's another reel for the year. This time it features Nicolas Gonzalez Arguelles. Nico is one of the most well-rounded skaters in the NYC area and a decent dude on top of that. We had a lot of fun this year, checking out different spots in the city and far beyond.

2018 Longboard Reel

(Dave Gammon) — Fri, 16 Nov 2018 16:30:00 GMT

With longboard season coming to a close, I put together a video reel for the year. It comes in at about 13 minutes long and still doesn't cover everything I did this year. I had a blast out there. It was especially nice to get out to places like Maryland and Pennsylvania and meet people.

How do I then sum up a whole year in one shot? By featuring the people who actually made this a fun year and helped me deal with some of the drama that came up. Left to right: (Alex, Brett, Nico & Chiaka)

Last year, nobody knew who I was. This year, legit brands have featured my work and a dream came true when I got out to Holland. (Funny how most of the drama came up after that trip.🙄) I might do a proper review of all that at some point.

In the meantime, please enjoy this video.

2017 Skate Reel

I started late in the year, but I did enough filming in different conditions that I decided to put together a demo reel for skate content. Credit to Guillermo for wanting to venture out in these conditions.
