ZOO YORK EDITING CONTEST - WINNER ANNOUNCED!

Zoo York and Lush Productions are proud to announce the winner of the ZOO YORK EDITING CONTEST, which recently ran on skateboard.com.au and lushproductions.com.

RB Umali's pick for first place stood out as it demonstrated the "best use of matching the trick tempo to the rhythm of the song", as well as keeping the edit "nice and simple, nothing too choppy or graphic heavy."

WINNING ENTRY:

The clip that came in as runner-up was selected because of its "nice and catchy transitions" as well as featuring a soundtrack that contrasted well between the parts and "didn't seem too sporadic."

RUNNER-UP:

This competition was judged by the one and only
RB Umali. Umali has been producing video's for over ten years, including Zoo York's State of Mind, Peep This and the Unbreakable Mix Tape.

Thanks to everyone who entered, there was a massive response and a heap of really solid submissions!

THE BERARD AND THE ROCK

SAINTS AND SINNERS DAY ONE, STRAIGHT OUT OF THE GATES

Most of the Creature and Santa Cruz crew met in Newark NJ. The first day of the trip is always a good one. Perdium's spent on the plane, rental cars are not reserved and directions in a dirty city are always sketchy. Made it to the hotel with a few bumps and bloodstains and chicken wings and cold beer. More to come. Signing at NJ Skateshop and BBQ with Nieratko and other Jersey scum bags.

Nav's 5 hour flight. Where are the rest of the crew?
Nieratko hooked us up with a Hotel thats connected to Hooters:
