Xcorps Action Sports Show #41.) "HAWAIIMANA" - seg2 - The Xcorps goes BIG ALOHA with host Jason Lazo back in Hawaii covering a mix of cool action X fitness events sponsored by mega nutrition maker HAWAIIMANA producer of the HawaiiMana Challenge.
From the start the show goes BIG with wild shots of tow in surfer Garrett McNamara outrunning locomotive waves at Jaws and Teahoopu Tahiti backed by tunes from MOWER. Hang on! The scenes are mellow here too with sweet Oahu island shots of rainbow framed beaches under the waving coconut palms. So Ono!
Jason introduces team HawaiiMana training on the shore and under the water! See their unique method of building strength and lung power using just a big rock! Great UW shots of turtles and fish in their element mixed with irie tunes from reggae Electric Avenue pop master Eddy Grant.
After the break Jason goes from SCUBA to outrigger canoe and then on to the North Shore of Oahu to hang at the Hawaiimana beach crib and some surfing by team members Alisha and Davey Boy Gonsalves, Jason Miller and Oleema Miller.
Then the X cams roll down the beach to V-LAND to catch rising NSSA surf champ Carissa Moore carving and rippin! Jason meets her on the beach for a little interview. She how she gets her training and hear her fun laugh! Then it's back to Garrett towing into another massive thunder tube followed with a smooth exit rolling tight with another Eddy Grant tune - Reparation.
Jason samples some local flavor and crosses the island again to meet with open ocean stand up paddleboard master Aaron Napoleon who leads the Xcams offshore to the turbulent Molokai Channel for a look at this emerging challenging sport! It was a challenge getting these shots in the rolling big waves as Aaron paddled his 15-foot board up and down the deep blue victory at sea swells all captured for our viewers in HD!
Everyone onboard was hanging tight as Aaron paddled the huge water edited with a fresh new music video from San Diego band My American Heart. Nice fit! Jason talks with the HawaiiMana man back at the boat. See what he says about the ride!
The next segment rolls back to the shoreline to catch the voice of Hawaii fitness man Joe Teipel body surfing Sandys beach in style! Jason talks with the waterman about HawaiiMana and the island spirit of Aloha. Cool shots of the famous Halona blowhole going off here too!
The show closes out with Jason back in SCUBA gear and a beach sunset near Diamond Head talking with HawaiiMana girl Kristin Austin doing some Yoga moves. Just another day in paradise for those who join The Xcorps!
Stay tuned for more fun in the sun future episodes covering training for the HawaiiMana Fitness Challenge in Hawaii. See http://hawaiimana.com/ for more.

Real N Raw!

So what is “Real N' Raw?" It is a solutions focused film about reclaiming health and wellbeing. The Director Matty was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis at age 5 after being symptomatic for two years. At age 12 he was told if he did not have his bowel removed and replaced with a colostomy bag he would have cancer by age 19 and not live to see 30. Today he is 35 and is a picture of health. This is a story that gives hope to us in understanding that disease is not a mystery. Health is here if you want it.

Matty is also a top animation artist, who has worked with Warner Brothers, Disney and more. He was trained by one of Disney's top animators and is a co-founder of Animators-Ink. Matty wanted to share what he has learned in the best way he knew by directing our independent film "Real N’ Raw".

“Real N’ Raw” is about reclaiming our health using simple and easy to access solutions. We hope that no child has to go through what Matty went through.

The film is dedicated to our children and to future generations.

100% of the proceeds from the purchase of the soundtrack and 75% of the proceeds from the purchase of the film go to a New Zealand Charitable Trust:

We invite you to become part of an inspiring possibility, to join us in nurturing a positive vision of an abundant future: one which is healthier, happier and less stressful.

We envision

* growing fruit trees organically, with less toxins and more nutrients

* producing a range of fruit varieties locally, to shorten the distance between the
orchard and the table

* helping create vibrant, healthy communities, through recognition of common needs
and goals

* empowering people of all ages to plant fruit trees on local Marae and the
commons; in church yards, back yards, school yards, town and country

* connecting children with nature, to improve their vitality and overall quality of and
reverence for life

Xcorps Action Sports Show #34.) "TOTAL COMBAT" - seg.2 - Produced with Total Combat Entertainment this Xcorps episode swings punches and kicks its way across the screen with host Jason Lazo showing viewers non-stop mixed martial arts fight action in the 'Octagon' ring at the San Diego Sports Arena.
Backed by pounding new music from Suburban Noize Records along with new videos from RIVE Jason talks to fight promoter Diana Ocampo about the rules of conduct in the newly sanctioned fights where just about anything goes and the action gets brutal! S*xy dance moves by the combat dolls back the action with DRT Entertainment band SOIL doing their song 'Give It Up' featuring a cool chick/dude fight video! See who wins!?
The heavyweights bring it on in the 200+ category with Griggs VS Mejia slugging it out and making it done in one non-stop round. A lot can be said for Marine training with Griggs opening up in this punch fest with his big guns! This fight goes to the mat where kicking, kneeing and elbowing are all OK in this ring and it takes a lot of blood to get a ref to stop the battle! Suburban Noize band Mower cranks its song 'General Admission'.
Great Mohawk on announcer Manny Hernandez as he opens up XC show segment 3 with DRT Entertainment/Rive band 36 Crazyfists new video. Big Dudes Wadd and Robert slug it out slow motion style in this match up. More sweet moves by the Combat Dolls on the Xcorps split screen. One round and its over! The horror!
Next it's almost a mis-match with pro kick boxer Tobylmada vs. Brando unleashing war upon themselves. Lots of fast foot action here but its elbows and knees to the face that end one fighters dreams of victory while the Xcams rolled. See the details.
Xcorps host 'Nacho Libre' returns for a few more words then the pounding continues with the well-muscled Garijo vs. Abrams stepping into the ring for some fun. Sub NoiZe band Mower keeps it light and fresh with their tune 'Zone'. Someone called their mamma a name in this fight, which skips the intros and gets non-stop down and dirty. We needed to slow the action here for full effect! Nice match-up. Give 'em both a prize!
After the break Jason Lazo and the Combat Dolls do a fun Xcorps thro followed by fighters Gugherty and Radanzzo stepping up. Nice music fit from SubNoize again with the band Humble Gods doing their song 'Destroy'. It's all over in one round and victory goes to the best and the baddest. Great moves from both fighters but San Diego homey Gugherty takes the belt. Jason talks with him outside the ring about how it feels to win and what inspires his moves.
After that So Cal urban rap band Visionaries show their skills and new vid 'In The Good' c/o Rive promotions. Great angle here on the LA, San Diego scene with a band that IS all good.
The show closes out with a few more brutal brawls - a new duo from Georgia called Jucifer and Jason thanking all who brought Total Combat to The Xcorps!

Xcorps Action Sports Show #40.) "HELLS CANYON" - seg2 - The Xcorps TV crew rolled 1000 miles north of San Diego to shoot in Hells Canyon Idaho on the Snake River - a remote canyon - at 7000 feet is deeper than the Grand Canyon!
The HD cams rolled BIG on Xcorps host Jason Lazo as he explored the pristine wilderness and ripped UP wild rapids on a 700HP twin 350 jet-boat supplied by Killgore Adventures based in the nearby town of White Bird Idaho-population 150! Jet-boat captain Eric Pardue piloted the custom and super rugged aluminum boat 'Moonshine' with cool skill as up to 5 cameras captured the X action. Also Euro TV producer Radomir Krkic filmed for his show "Fishing World" currenlly airing in Europe.
Idaho is a state that contains some of the most pristine and primitive outdoor areas in the U.S. and The Xcorps felt right at home there! HD cams recorded more than 100 miles of scenic wild Snake River home to sports game fish like Rainbow and Steelhead trout, Salmon, Bass and the massive and primitive river Sturgeon.
Jason baited a line for this monster fish reeling in a near record 9-foot 300 lb beast with great video shots resulting including some from the infamous XC underwater cam! The big fish was released tired but unharmed after the catch.

Xcorps Action Sports Show #45.)"SKATEPIPE"-seg4- The Xcorps HD shoot crew led by on host Jason Lazo rolled into the small southern California town of Upland to meet pool skate legend Steve Alba AKA Salba at the Pipeline skate park- home and roots to some of the best Vert skaters on the planet- for the next episode of Xcorps to be called SKATEPIPE.

This next XC show will feature Steve Alba ripping the Upland Pipe on his board along with many other talented locals catching massive air off the 20-foot tall 360-degree concrete tube. The Pipe is part of 10,000 sq. foot Skate Park, which opened to the public in 2002 and was designed by Steve Alba and California Skate parks Purkiss Rose.

One of the coolest skate zones we have shot, the Upland park is a holy zone modeled after the original Upland skate park of the 1970s-which was modeled after the original Baldy Flood Control Pipe- and contains all aspects of bank/vert skating starting with a mini-ramp take off ledge rolling into a phat metal coped half-pipe leading into a 20 foot full-pipe and ending in a deep swimming pool size vert bowl. YiKes!

Its a smooth fast speed zone and its not for beginners! Skate wheels sing there like banshee devil dogs and bone crunching freefalls happen easy! Xcorps cams captured some great action including shots from a POV cam attached to Salbas helmet. The Xcorps shoot crew-included network Emmy winner Dave Alvarez and producer Sundarajan also snagging HD shot action.

Xcorps host Jason Lazo talked with Steve Alba who lives in Upland about the killer park he helped design and his past and present career in the world of skateboarding. Jason also spoke to other skaters including a hot chick looping the tube and some ripper groms going full overhead! What will they morph into!??

Also in this episode is cool video footage of Steve Alba jamming with his band in a local So Cal club. Nice custom soundtrack to the action from Steve. Great new music videos from RIVE promotions and Suburban Noize Records rolls the action in this special Xcorps show.

Rounding out the shots in this episode will be some never before televised 16mm B&W film footage shot at a Pocatello Idaho Skatepark in 1980 by XC producer Stu Edmondson. Who knew they were skating in Idaho back then never mind a skate park!

Check out the following links for more on Steve Alba and the Upland Pipeline Skate Park. This show to be released in appr.4 weeks. Classic Xcorps!

Making Of: "The Chosen One"
Watch the making of a no budget independent film "The Chosen One" that was developed from the award winning short "Vampires Die!". In this 'Direct Cinema' treatment we watch the struggles and rewards of filmmaking from production with Jack Silverman talking about his times with John Cassavetes to the horror of editing with an out of control editor. The end is really a powerful statement about filmmaking today!
