New Blog "Suburban Selection"

2013-06-05T17:59:00.003-07:00

Decided to make the switch over to Tumblr, where I will continue regular post. My new blog is called "Suburban Selection." The name stems from our lives growing up in the suburbs of Philadelphia trying to make the most out of what the suburbs has to offer for skateboarding and whatever other interest we've had over the years.

A clip of some warm-ups and offcuts over the few years we filmed for Framework. It's pretty funny to see the clothing changes over the years. Jimmy's idea of a throwaway is a lot different then mine as you can tell from the clip. Filmed by Billy Simpson and Jimmy Simpson. Additional filming by Kevin Nguyen, Kevin Pham, John Provencher, Ryan Higgins, and Davis Trinh.

Joey O'Brien "Framework" Offcuts

When I started filming with Joey I thought of him as a jumping down gaps/rails little kid. As we filmed and he grew up a little bit that completely changed. He's really capable of anything at this point, no matter what kind of skating it is. Every few weeks we were cutting footage we thought we were saving because he kept getting better and one upping himself. I tried to edit the footage chronologically to show that transition in his skating. So this is a clip of some warm-ups and offcuts over the few years I filmed with Joey for Framework.

Brian Panebianco & Tore Bevivino "Framework"

2013-03-12T14:21:00.002-07:00

Penny and Tore's shared part from "Framework." Edited by Jimmy Simpson. Filmed by Billy Simpson. Additional filming by Brian Panebianco, Jimmy Simpson and Ryan Higgins.

I'm pretty sure neither Penny or Tore even knew they had a part. Most of this was filmed during random sessions at Wedgewood as they were finishing up "Sabotage 2", which they both had amazing parts in (Tore / Brian). Check out Penny and Ryan Higgins latest full length video "Sabotage 3". It's an amazing video and I'm really psyched I was able to contribute some footage for it.

Ricky Finn Manual Kickflip Crossfoot ("First Try" 2004)

2013-02-24T08:56:00.001-08:00

I'm sure it's been done plenty of times but I really haven't seen any over the past 12 years I've been skateboarding. Flip "Sorry" was a pretty big video for us a few years before this and Rick got the idea for this trick after watching Bastien Salabanzi's part with his kickflip crossfoot over a few stairs in the beginning of his part. Definitely more of a funny trick but either way we all thought it was awesome and Rick did it pretty easily.

Heres a link to our first full length video "First Try" from 2004

"Novelties" - Jimmy Simpson

2013-02-05T18:59:00.002-08:00

Novelties from Jimmy Simpson on Vimeo.

"A collaboration with artist/designer Courtney Brown (courtneybrownmakesprints.com)

based on a series of paintings she created for her show "Novelties". The style of the animation is inspired by ice cream trucks, hand-painted signage, and some of Courtney's signature symbols, patterns, and colors. The animation started to get real hip hop so I just went with it.

Design: Jimmy Simpson & Courtney Brown
Lettering: Courtney Brown
Animation: Jimmy Simpson
Music: Chain Hang Low By Jibbs

P.S. It wouldn't feel right if I didn't say that Buck was another big inspiration for this animation." - Jimmy Simpson

A Day At Ambler Park - The Berrics

2013-01-24T11:09:00.002-08:00

"The winter on the East Coast can be harsh. But it's those rare times when the temperature rises above freezing that allow you to get out there and skate with your friends that make bearable. Ambler Park is another fun 5th Pocket creation for all to enjoy." - Watch the clip on The Berrics

Featuring Jesse Clayton, Tore Bevivino, Bryan Leddy, Jimmy Kinslow, Shane Colville, Brian Panebianco, Adam Salomon, Mike McGuire, Evan Breder and Pat Polidor.

Really hyped on this clip. So sick to see Ambler and the local guys like Tore, Adam, Penny and Mike. Jesse Clayton has been doing some really great stuff and Chris Mulhern has been making some great edits for so long now. It would be amazing to get Jesse and 5th pocket involved with the Lansdale skatepark thats supposed to happening soon.

Short clip from a recent cinematography class I took. The assignment was telling a short story through a long take. I was pretty impressed with how well Jim could make his board land near the ledge. Featuring Jimmy Simpson and Joey O'Brien.

I'm really happy with how Joey's part turned out. He pretty much filmed this over the span of a year. Watching him and Bauder skate a spot was really great. They both fed off each other and never hesitated to skate some scary stuff.

Melon off the sketchy launch ramp at the Dust Bowls. He was having trouble skating this so he switched to my filming board that had some bigger wheels. His first try with the filming board he got 4 or 5 feet of air. Photos by Erik Mangal.

The aftermath of Joey's smith attempt.

No one has successfully skated this rail and for good reason. There's so much wrong with it. He almost got a fs smith after a few tries but ended up missing the rail on one attempt and got completely knocked. One of the scariest things I've ever seen.
