decisions

i bought a pair of NIMH’s last week….now i’m breaking them in. I roll them with Sifika liners, GC Featherl’s and You are here wheels with vicious bearings. for the 3 Days i rolled them, they’re still a bit strange but start to feel better to me. I can’t feel much difference to my VALO’s (who i still love) except the NIMH Soulplate, who is a lot faster. Well..i think i skate them to death, support some money and rolltime to Shima and Elliots idea and then i’ll decide if i roll VALO’s or NIMH’s….overall i will decide on the future designs of each brand cause roll-wise they’re so close.

Christmas was cool and funny/strange.
And now i’ve decided to give me some own christmas presents.

x-Mas Battle Royale rankings

i proudly present you the Winner of the x-mas-battle royale : Chris “fish” Nachbur from Amriswil, Switzerland. He’s one of the Rollerbladers who still can skate a decent Run and don’t turn every competition into a Best-trick, Spin-to-Win Contest. Congratulations Chris.Sadly i don’t have any pics of his Run, so i show you one from last Summer:

zoltan lives on

my ever-wip is going on. I worked on my very first head in XSI/SILO for months now (mostly cause i never find the time 😦 ) and i made the first render yesterday night. LowPoly made in XSI, tweaking, and sculpting/brushing in SILO..then refined teh Mesh (normal map tryouts gone horribly wrong) brought it back to XSI and made a simple Phong-AO-Shader and a Ski for the Light. FG and Mentalray made the rest. IF someone would help me with a good DoF Shader for XSI, i would be really happy. Some final work in Photoshop and here’s a pict.
Wires will come later.

wow.. pictures from me in the news

Spatenstich für neuen Skatepark

Visualisierung des geplanten Skater-Parks. (Bild: Fourproductions.ch)  

Nun hats doch noch geklappt: Auf dem Parkplatz Wijer in Sarnen kann ein 1000 Quadratmeter grosser Skatepark gebaut werden.Am Freitag war Spatenstich, am Mittwoch fahren die Baumaschinen auf, und nächsten Frühling soll der Park für Skater, Rollerblader und Biker eröffnet werden. Gegenüber der ursprünglich geplanten Version mussten wegen Finanzierungsschwierigkeiten Abstriche gemacht werden. Anstatt 450’000 Franken wird die neue Anlage 330’000 Franken kosten «Wir mussten etwas abspecken. Aber schön wird die Anlage auch so», sagt Gunter Dercourt, Co-Präsident des Vereins Skatepark Obwalden.red.Den ausführlichen Artikel lesen Sie am Samstag in der Neuen Obwaldner Zeitung.
