Skateboard Videography
A skateboard is a type of sports equipment used for skateboarding. It is usually made of a specially designed 7–8-ply maple plywood deck and has polyurethane wheels attached to the underside by a pair of skateboarding trucks. The skateboard moves by pushing with one foot while the other foot remains balanced on the board, or by Pump (skateboarding), pumping one's legs in structures such as a bowl or half pipe. A skateboard can also be used by standing on the deck while on a downward slope and allowing gravity to propel the board and the rider. If the rider's leading foot is their left foot, they are said to ride "regular". Conversely, they are said to ride "goofy" if their leading foot is their right foot. The two main types of skateboards are the longboard and shortboard. The shape of the board is also important: the skateboard must be concaved to perform tricks. History Skateboarding, as it exists today, was probably born sometime in the late 1940s, or early 1950s, when ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hip-hop
Hip-hop or hip hop (originally disco rap) is a popular music genre that emerged in the early 1970s from the African-American community of New York City. The style is characterized by its synthesis of a wide range of musical techniques. Hip-hop includes rapping often enough that the terms can be used synonymously. However, "hip-hop" more properly denotes an entire subculture. Other key markers of the genre are the disc jockey, turntablism, scratching, beatboxing, and instrumental tracks. Cultural interchange has always been central to the hip-hop genre. It simultaneously borrows from its social environment while commenting on it. The hip-hop genre and culture emerged from block parties in ethnic minority neighborhoods of New York City, particularly Bronx. DJs began expanding the instrumental breaks of popular records when they noticed how excited it would make the crowds. The extended instrumental breaks provided a platform for break dancers and rappers. These br ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Fisheye Lens
A fisheye lens is an ultra wide angle lens, ultra wide-angle lens that produces strong Distortion (optics), visual distortion intended to create a wide panorama, panoramic or Sphere#Hemisphere, hemispherical image. Fisheye lenses achieve extremely wide angle of view, angles of view, well beyond any rectilinear lens. Instead of producing images with straight lines of perspective (rectilinear lens, rectilinear images), fisheye lenses use a special mapping ("distortion"; for example: Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection, equisolid angle, see below), which gives images a characteristic convex non-rectilinear appearance. The term ''fisheye'' was coined in 1906 by American physicist and inventor Robert W. Wood based on how a fish would see an ultrawide hemispherical view from beneath the water (a phenomenon known as Snell's window). Their first practical use was in the 1920s for use in meteorology to study cloud formation giving them the name ''whole-sky lenses''. The angle of view ...

Sony DCR-VX1000
The Sony DCR-VX1000 was a DV (video format), DV camcorder released by Sony in 1995. It was the first to use both the DV (video format)#Magnetic tape, MiniDV tape format and three-CCD color processing technology—boasting twice the horizontal resolution of VHS and triple the color bandwidth of single-CCD cameras. It was also the first consumer camcorder with the ability to transfer video information via IEEE 1394, Firewire to an ordinary Microsoft Windows, Windows or Macintosh computer. Together with the rival List of Canon camcorders, Canon XL1 and shorter-lived "budget" three-CCD DV models like the List of Canon camcorders, Canon GL1 and Sony DCR-TRV900, the VX1000 revolutionized desktop video production in the late 1990s, delivering quality comparable to then-dominant analog Betacam hardware at a fraction of the cost. The VX1000 was based on Sony's earlier VX1 (PAL) and Sony_CCD-VX3, VX3 (NTSC) Hi8 camcorders, which were similarly intended as "wikt:prosumer#Etymology_2, pro ...

Girl Skateboards History Girl Skateboards, the inaugural brand of the company, originated in 1993 after a selection of team riders from World Industries - notably Mike Carroll and Rick Howard - decided to found their own brand. Howard explained in a 2000 interview: Part of the reason we started Girl was so pro skateboarders would have a future. Take Royal, for instance.

All the Girl Distribution companies are based around people who have helped Girl get to where it is today.
