Flashback Friday!
For this edition we are going back beyond the start of Sunday, back to when Jake Seeley was a super young shredder. I first met him at Woodward during the summer of 2003 and from that first meeting you could tell he was a natural on a bike. Luckily, the next year he happened to be at Woodward the same week I was there. From then on, I’d see him at various contests, in magazines, at race tracks in southern Vermont and in videos like this one called Cut Your Loses made by Jason Morris. Check out the website, The Least Most, Jason posts a lot on this site. It’s funny because you probably see Jake as a complete street shredder, but his bag is bigger than you think and this video proves it. Over the years, I patiently waited for an opportunity to ask Jake to be a part of Sunday. The time came and now you are seeing his Flashback Friday!

Australia as seen in Nano-vision!
Jake Seeley is the man begin the “lens” on this one. Sunday tour of Australia filmed all with an Apple Ipod Nano, Jake is able to easily capture funny and random moments from the Sunday Australia tour from a month ago. Not the greatest quality, but the content makes up for that. The song is Rainer Maria‘s, Breakfast of Champions, which was previously used in Props‘ Euroscene video from 2000 filmed by Stew Johnson. This video is sort of an homage to Euroscene. Check out our non-nano Australia video HERE.
Australia Video!
About a month ago, most of the Sunday team went down to Australia to visit a few shops, ride some skateparks, hit up some street and get punched by a kangaroo. We drove all over the east coast, from Melbourne to Brisbane and back again. Our adventure took us from scorching heat to torrential rain and from tsunami warnings to crazy hail storms. This video documents our adventure over those 12 days. If you ever get the chance to go to Australia then do it. You won’t be disappointed!
