August 7 will mark an incredible anniversary for the Coast Longboarding annual Seawall cruise as it celebrates ten years of bringing skaters together. The first annual Seawall cruise was the second Coast Longboarding event ever, and only drew out six riders because of rain.

New O'tang video out today, Time Bomb. It's a pretty sweet video all in all, with the 2nd half showcasing some nice slow motion and bomb passing skills by the O'tang crew of Kevin Reimer, Kyle Chin, Patrick Switzer, James Kelly, and Douglas Dalua (not pictured above).

It's an interesting video to watch as you imagine the challenges with getting good shots from a stationary position. As their write-up states, they blended in some GoPro shots to help cover the action, 1st person style. Our only complaint is that the more we watch video filmed with the Canon 7D or the RED camera, the harder it is to enjoy GoPro footage. As you will certainly notice, some of the footage appears washed out and shows signs of being filmed during the brightest time of day. Not that we've done it yet, but perhaps it's time to start strapping DSLRs to our helmets, bikes, skates, and tricyles to really capture the shot and start leaving the GoPros behind.

Now that we're done with our GoPro rant, you can click here to read a little more on what went into this video and get the inside scoop from the filmers themselves.
