Watch Danny Brady in slo-mo for Neon

Danny Brady features in a super slow-mo video this week made by Neon for an R&D project. This is quite spectacular on first viewing, and all comes together when you watch the making of it.

In Neon’s own words: “For our Winter R&D project, we wanted to make a skate film. Our goal was to create a series of impossible yet photo-real shots, putting us right in the middle of the action. The real trick was developing a process that would allow us to create these shots with a small team of artists (instead of the usual small army).”

Watch the making of how this was shot too:

Danny Brady parts ways with Blueprint

Following many other team riders leaving the good ship Blueprint last over the least 2 weeks, Danny Brady has finally announced that he has departed for pastures new today. Maybe he will be found on Palace’s team in the near future based on recent events, maybe somewhere else. All we do know is that Tom Knox is probably the only BP skater left.

“Just wanted to thank everyone involved at Blueprint Skateboards and every skateboarder who has supported the brand over the years. Blueprint was my first ever sponsor and has given me so much but it’s time to move on……ta rah t’print”.
