Unpublished 1996:

The UCSD MFA program brought me to San Diego for avant-cinema in 1995. I had gone straight from preschool to grad school without a break, so when I got to San Diego, all I wanted to do was ride bikes and shoot what I wanted. As part of my work-study scholarship, I taught the intro photography lab at UCSD, and Gideon Choi was one of my students. He got me out to some spots, and I was able to hand tapes straight out of the camera to some incredible skaters like Dave Mayhew, W***y Santos, and Gideon, to name a few.

I had moved to San Diego with an Arriflex BL 16mm camera, and since the school had black-and-white processing, I tried to get clips with this tank of a camera. On April 1, 1996, I ran into Atiba shooting video of Heath Kirchart and asked if I could shadow. With his approval, I shot Heath on a long lens, working on this tre over the rail to bank. I was so cheap with film that I wouldn't let the camera get fully up to speed, stopping just past the white flash used to sync audio. It created a feeling.

I cut together an edit and brought a VHS tape to Grant and Atiba at Transworld a few weeks later. I ended up leaving San Diego about a month after that, so I never followed up, but about a decade later, I noticed that tape may have had some influence on Transworld's 1997 release Cinematographer. Then, a few years ago, a group of skaters on a bike tour from San Francisco to Los Angeles stopped by MASH, and there was Heath. I found this old edit and AirDropped it to him. It was really special to finally share it with him almost 30 years later.

Thanks for the inspiration, Mike.
