Brian aus dem PC-News Hauptquartier

Hey Brian, How did the idea for a reporting channel grew up?

It came from wishing I had something like PC News when I was getting into the scene. I knew there were all different styles and disciplines of riding and I had the hardest time finding good unbiased information. Wading through forums is not exactly user friendly and I learned early on that new comers were hardly welcome. With so many different forms of racing going on I thought surely there was something comprehensive but there just wanted. I am happy to do my best to fill the void. I know it's not perfect and we struggle to keep up with everything but we constantly are working to make it easier to learn about and participate in the sport we love.

I check up your first Vids, in the early days you kind of recorded from your pc all by yourself, today you always have a cameraman, the editing is well done and you informe great. Today PC-News really got that quality you ´ld expect from a news channel.

I have an excellent team who is dedicated to the cause because we believe in the sport. I certainly do not do this alone! Travis Davenport (my twin) and Joe Goodman make this all possible and I am honored to work with them.

To produce PC-News takes quite time and cost´s some money, do you get any support? If not, how do you manage it?

We have created a new marketing opportunity in the industry that simple sis not exist before. Look for 2012 to include advertising commercials from industry leaders like you saw in our Maryhill coverage.

You always have a look to what´s going up in Europe, too. That´s great you really try to bring all the news together.

I began riding longboards one summer while living in Barcelona. I bought a Sector 9 Cosmic series before leaving the states and it arrived the day before I left for Spain. For three months I would ride downhill through the city to the beach, I like to think Barcelona taught me how to longboard. I have spent a lot of time in Europe skating in many different counties including Italy, France, Spain, Holland, Germany, and England so I have had the opportunity to witness first hand the growth of this industry internationally. I believe no matter where you're from or what you do skateboarding is a healthy and fun activity/lifestyle and PC News is my way of giving back to the world that so graciously taught me to enjoy the ride.

It´s too bad, that you don´t have so many views on your vids. Why do you think ist hat so?

Because we've only been doing this for a short time. Its growing with every video and we are strategically placing ourselves in the market to continue to change that. But mostly because it's never been done before and we need you're support to grow the audience. If you like what you see tell your friends!

Plans fort he future?
Ooh it's gonna be good!
