Juiced from tricks his competitors were throwing down you could tell that for him this contest was a lot of fun. ![]() Nick Calderon had flown in from Columbia, grinning ear to ear the entire time. Even more so how rare it is seen on this scale inside of the United States. This should be a glimpse into how important Vert still is. So committed in fact, that they flew in from as far as Bulgaria, South America, and Switzerland to compete. What really caught my attention was how many people were committed to this before it ever really took off. Combine all of this with amazing bbq, cold brews, a pool, blade fam and a gnarly vert ramp and you’ve got the makings of a truly great event! In attendance were Katie Ketchum, Jon Julio, Miguel Ramos, Walt Austin, Cletus Kuhn (fresh off the 2016 CORT) and even Aaron Wheelz from Nitro Circus had stopped by to check it out. The Atmosphere was definitely friendly and consisted of support from the Rollerblading community far & wide. It had just rained several days before registration and a cool front had swept in a subtle breeze from the valley. We’d been seeing temperatures reach as high as 116 degrees here in the Mojave recently so the timing couldn’t have been any better. Held at the home of Marco De Santi the turnout was fairly solid. Needless to say, I’m grateful that I did. So with my HVR in hand I started feeling out angles immediately. Most everyone took pictures with their phones or cameras. Not sure if that actually worked out or not tho as I was too busy. To my surprise, no one (other than Gadgik & their drone) were filming. I knew right then I had to pack my gear and see what was going down firsthand. The night before registration I was thrown a line on the contest. As I’m new to the scene here, I hadn’t managed to connect with locals yet. Having made stops in California, Colorado, Iowa, Maryland, North Carolina, and Florida before heading back west and getting situated in Nevada. I’d been traveling for the past 6 months now. It was happenstance I caught wind of this event to begin with. Per the keynote, updating the code is as easy as a button click, right?:)Īnyhow, I am very happy with Mojave/Media Composer 2020.5 and hope support for Mojave continues into the future.Last weekend I had the pleasure of attending the UHL Competition in Las Vegas. Hopefully by then all the software will be transitioned over. It could be years before we get a hint of a Pro mac with Apple silicon. While the Apple silicon is definitely coming, I suspect that they will start with the entry level stuff like Macbooks and the Pro stuff will be the last things that are replaced. Since the new cheesegrater requires Catalina, I plan on running my iMac Pro until it dies and lock down on Mojave- the last safe MacOS. The new MacOs's are taking things even further with increased sandboxing alongside a crusade to rid the world of 32-bit code forcing us all to suffer through code migrations and find replacements for handy apps and codecs that do not need to be 64-bit. I can't tell you how many times I had to enter my login info and unclick the lock in the security preference pane. ![]() I recently did a fresh install of Pro Tools on Mojave alongside over 200 plugins and VI's. The recent releases of MacOS have made doing clean installs more and more difficult due to the increased security nagging and the "this format won't be supported in the future" nagging. My hope is that Avid supports Mojave forever. The issue goin forward maybe supporting Intel Macs and ARM Macs as well as PC'sĪnd yes I remember the annoucement to drop Apple support have a batch of Apple systems that wouldn't suppor the MC baord set and the faff of expansion crates. bUt I suspect thats just based on having started on PC.īut theres no point is a pC Mac war. I work across Mac and PC and gnerally I find the PC side to be more stable and seemless. I can do background transcoding and rendering on all my PC systems and the best is a quad core i7. Meanwhile, they have reinforced their offer in past year. Hopefully, they learnt with the mistakes they themselves admited. First when they stopped making 6-slot machines, the by dropping the Mac Pro, then by neglecting the Trashcan Mac Pro.Īs Avid, I'm sure Apple's is not interested in loosing their clients and worse… their name.Īs you said, they began to have a "history". Apple have a history of dropping 'our' market segment. More importantly is the question if Apple is going to ditch Avid and us.
