M; Alright Dylan lets get this show on the road, Whats your name, age, sponsors, years riding and where you are currently.
D; My names Dylan Connell I'm 19 years old, currently in Coffs Harbour, NSW, Australia. Sponsored by Lifeboat Scooters and I've been riding for about eight and a half years.
M; Hell yeah, How'd riding for Lifeboat come about?
D; Funny story actually. I was riding for Native at the time and due to some minor issues with some of the team riders I thought parting ways with them would be better option for me, so I parted with Native and at the same time I was hit up with the opportunity to ride for lifeboat which was sick because I already got along with everyone so it was a no brainier.
M; Hell yeah, Regan (Thompson) steering the ship well. Do you smoke spin/mix or straight green?
D; GREEN all the way. I don't smoke any tobacco whatsoever and I'd like to keep it that way.
M; Guy (Perret) would be proud. Apart from riding scooters you are heavily involved in filming with the friendly crew, who's been in front of your lens lately?
D; Well everyone's constantly throwing down and filming for their own video projects but we have commenced filming for a project. I'm not sure what it will be but i want it to be filmed and edited perfectly. I've already got a few clips of some of the crew.
M; Sounds like the homie video is alive as well.
D; For sure dude, would be sick to make a full length but we will have to wait and see.
M; its always a mission to get everyone filming, unless everyone is real keen,
D; Yeah and it doesnt help that my camera bag weighs 11kg, so its not that easy to go out filming for a day haha
M; Whats in that bag of yours?
D; I'v got a dslr for all fish eye shots with a 8-15 mm canon fish eye, super wide looking lens. I also have a HMC150 for long lens so I get that crisp HD zoom as well as a opteka pro handle, external mic and light.
M; Dam you are locked and loaded by the sounds of it.
D;Yeah dude I'm petty hyped on my set up at the moment! looks proper.
M; Who should we be on the look out for this year? Who are you hyped on at the moment?
D; Just keep a look out on friendly man we have some big things planned!
M; I'll be refreshing the channel repeatedly this year don't you worry. Any thanks to give before we wrap this thing up?
D; Just wanna thank all the homies for being rad and keeping it real, also would like to give a shout out to everyone that doesn't make bad vlogs. <3
