Just wondering if vimeo/Youtube clips have kinda killed the full-length videos? (Not necessarily DVDs because full length videos could be released as .avi or .mp4 or fully donwloadable on Vimeo for example). It seems that very few videographers today choose to release full-length videos, it’s almost just short clips now, sponsored by the riders’ sponsors within the 2-3 min. range and that’s it. Most of 20-30 y.o. bbers grew up watching videos/dvds such as No Friends Vids’, The Waldron Vids, Todd Barnes Vids, The Underground Tapes Vids (Chris Stroh), The ROT vids and the list goes on. It was such an epic time to get to watch those vids (tapes or dvds) and they had more than just riding in them, they had their authors’ blueprint, their editing skills and habits, their filming style and feeling, their friends and crew, the riders they’d like to film with and stuff. Don’t get us wrong, clips are awesome and we need them and love to post them twice a week as a ‘video clip dopeness’ post on Spongercity.com but we miss the full length vids ! Damn yeah we miss these ! We were stoked the other day when Josh Garner released a 10 min. clip from Mexico, as you usually get to watch something longer than 3min. these days and dont get to know the riders better, see them riding in different conditions and see more of the editing style. They are still DVDs released out there for sure but less than before. Not sure if it’s the finances that are killing the videos, or the lack of people willing to do a full length movies or the simple fact that everyone realized there’s no money to make on a video…
Anyways, lately we’ve really digged RING of FIRE III (available now on the spongercity store by the way), and there are a couple DVDs that are going to be released soon as well: TALES OF A DREAM by Rob Sherwood, ROAM FREE (Nomad x Matt Lackey), HOME BREW (Zion Crew) and more… thanks guys for keeping the art of the full length video alive !

Good news, Nomad is going to release another DVD and it’s Matt Lackey who’s gonna be directing it. Sounds good to us! We’ve nicely copied/pasted the press release we got from Nomad in our email box a couple days ago. It goes like this:
Nomad Bodyboards is proud to announce the production of its new film “ROAM FREE”.
ROAM FREE is an epic project that will follow the lives of the world’s best free surfing bodyboarders as they experience the highs, lows, and adventure of surf exploration.
The film will follow the lifestyle of riders who dedicate their lives to researching surf locations, forecasting swells and then travel beyond the borders of their home town, state, and country in their quest to surf perfect waves. Some of the amazing riders involved in ROAM FREE include Chris James, Damien Martin, Cade Sharp, Matt Lackey, Chase O’Leary, Ewan Donnachie, Alex Halsey, Dylan Lee, Matt Young, and Chris Wilson, along with many others.
ROAM FREE will be directed by Matt Lackey. Lackey, a well respected free surfer himself, has taken on the project as his follow-up to his extremely well received first film, “The Lackey Project”. Assembling a fantastic group of filmers in their own right, including Michael Jennings, Luke Bickley, Ryan Jones, and Nic Barclay, ROAM FREZ will follow riders on location through Japan, Hawaii, Samoa, Indonesia, as well as all corners of Australia including unexplored waves that have previously remained unridden.
We invite you to join the journey. For daily updates of images, news and info on trailers, premieres and release dates, join us on Facebook at:
