Yeah.

Hi, I'm Christiana means I'm 23 years old.

I've been skating for 15 years and I'm on the Philippines Olympic team.

Since quarantine, I've decided to start a video project for my Youtube channel.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh snap From practicing Yoga to shooting a horror film.

This is one week in my life.

Mhm.

This video that I'm making is called a Battle Commander.

A battle commander was started by the barracks.

They are indoor training facility on California.

You turn out the lights, take spotlights and light up certain obstacles.

They're all very difficult tricks and they all have to be done in the dark, which I've never done.

I also really wanted to do this project with a friend but they passed away earlier this year and it means a lot to me to get it done.

Now.

On the first day I woke up made coffee.

I don't operate without coffee and stretched and did yoga with my cat.

Then I headed off to work.

We're gonna book it to work, it's my car, his name is Archie, Don't judge, he's the best Honda accord there is, I work at Finley hats, we are a hat company for extreme sports.

I love the people I work with, they're all very like minded people.

So my work days go by really quick, they're enjoyable and I get a skate at work, I am a pro skater, so usually my income comes from contest events, but since everything's canceled right now, this is what I got and I'm not gonna lie, I love it.

Quarantines slowed everything down for me.

I was able to spend time here in Portland, connect with my friends, focusing my time instead of just being all over the place around the world.

Home sweet home, those guys, my man's and my baby baby when I have down time, I like to draw, practice my filipino play UKulele.

I like to play video games.

It's really hard to play with.

Having some type of creative outlet is really helpful during this time.

So I've broken down this video into five nights of shooting every day after work.

I'll come in here and try and get at least three tricks a night to stay on course I need to land a tray flip and a back side flip on the hip, a tail slide to 70 shove a smith on the bump to ledge, a backside 50 50 big spin out.

A disaster in transition.

A fakey big spin disaster, revert out a backside tail, a front side flip, a full cab flip, a front side blunt, a wally backside 1 80 a kick flip backside 50 50 a feeble down the rail and a nose manual 1 80 out mm Night one.

I need to land a tray flip So you're rallying, doing a kick flip and a 360 at the same time and a backside flip on the hip.

It is back side because you are going blind side makes a little bit more difficult.

A tail slide to 70 shove on the bump to ledge, I'm going to slide across the ledge, do a 2 70 shove to push the board around and a smith on the bump to ledge as well.

One truck is going to stay on top while the other one hangs down low and it's a very stylish looking trick.

Yes, the first night went awesome.

Not only was I able to get three tricks but I got four and so that was a really big confidence booster and I felt like the first day was off to such a great start shout out to the most amazing boyfriend ever.

The film for this project has been my amazing boyfriend right now.

He has been dealing with the A.

C.

L.

Injury.

It's been really challenging but we did, it IS 1:00 AM and it's time for bettering but we're going to get some sleep and we will talk to you tomorrow.

Good morning.

It is nine a.m. Right now and I'm getting ready to go work out.

Let's do this workout, talking with time.

Where's my water bottle?

It's 10 a.m. And we just got to the gym, this is DJ more, he's my personal trainer and we're about to get it.

We love working out so awesome.

Yeah.

Yeah it's a beautiful day out.

We just got done working out.

I feel great thank you Dude.

It after I was able to get some of my work done at home, I went to the Nike Park to start filming.

Yeah, okay, You need to land a backside 50, 50 big spin out shaper.

Mm mhm I'm going to approach the obstacle on my blind side, grind across and do a 360 with my board and 180 with my body And then a disaster in transition on a eight ft wall.

A disaster is when I go up to the transition, then my body 180 and not clip on the top.

We just finished filling for the night.

Super excited.

The night went so well.

I got two tricks today and on monday I got four.

So if I want to finish this project by the end of this week, I have to get three tricks a day.

So I'm on course I'm on track and it's going well.

Yeah, two of those tricks were brand new tricks.

I'm really excited.

Day two's are wrapped baby.

What's up today is day three, it's 10 a.m. And I woke up a little bit ago, days off from work called for delicious breakfast sandwiches, excited after breakfast.

I made sure I got in a good recovery session.

My phone roller is number one.

I like to use it.

My I.

T.

Band and my quads, my massage ball gets deeper into my calf and when I'm on the go for contests or filming projects, I like to use my massage gun.

It's really hard to go multiple days of skating without getting sore.

So recovery sessions bring that soreness down.

It is four o'clock in the afternoon and I'm getting ready to go meet up with a friend to build a short project.

All right, so I'm not with my makeup artist Sam and she is making me like nasty.

I actually love acting.

I think it's something I want to get into more often.

And if you haven't figured out yet, we're filming a skate horror ville.

It's fake.

Don't worry, it looked pretty real.

Right?

I'm gonna try and get this liquid latex out of my hair, should be a lot of fun.

And then went to the Nike Park to film the third night.

I need to land a backside tail.

I'm nervous.

I have to land a backside tail tonight and I'm not that great at landing them on camera.

Hopefully it'll get frustrated.

Hopefully I get more than one clip.

But if I get one clip, I'm stoked this is pretty challenging for me because backside tails are a new trick to me.

Filming in the Nike Park that night was really difficult.

I was not there mentally, I wasn't really there physically, but I managed to pull it off.

Mhm, Wow, that was landing a trick for the first time.

It's like maybe like a plus on your final exam, you just feel like after all the hard work you've put into, it was worth it all in that moment.

Day four, I woke up and worked out with my trainer again and I'm running late.

Yeah, understand, wow, that was a good session.

All right, there's a spider in my car.

Oh my gosh, after working out, I went to work.

Mhm While I was at work, I got to spend my lunch with my friend Michaela.

She's really cool and she's been my friend for a while, so healthy when it's slow at work or I have a break.

It's awesome to come over here and escape the mini ramp.

God, you read, we came Yeah, the really cool thing of our work, we can print skateboard graphics here.

What?

That looks so sick after work.

I went home to relax a little bit before we started filming Night four, I need the land of Fakey.

Big Spin disaster revert out, Fakih is riding backwards in your original stance, let your board do a 3 60 as you do 1 80 putting another 1 80 back into transition and rolling away a front side blunt.

The 3rd trick is a front side flip.

Mhm A front side flip is a kick flip with a 180 going your front side way and next a full cap flip.

A full cab flip is when you're approaching the obstacle.

Fakey do a kick flip and then do a 360 landing fakey back into transition.

The last trick is a wally 180.

A wall is a cool trick because I'm gonna let my wheels bunk off the obstacle and put a 180 into it.

I got five tricks which is super cool, big confidence booster and it made me feel like I was getting closer and closer to my goal.

Good morning, everyone happy friday, it is 10 a.m. And I woke up about 30 minutes ago, I've been pushing a lot for this project and I'm gonna take a lot of time to stretch this morning, I need it.

If not, I don't think it's gonna go well, hopefully it will and everything's gonna be fine.

Happy friday, it's gonna be good friday doing this project in a week, was actually really straining into my body since I feel like I have a lot on my mind, I think I'm gonna call it an early day from work, go home, take a nap, eat some good food and replenish my energy so I can be on my a game tonight Night five, our last day of filming, I was really nervous.

I was still three tricks away from my goal.

Um and one of these three tricks was a very technical trick.

I had to flip into a grind going into it.

I was not confident at all.

I was having a really bad skate session to be honest.

And then it worked out, yeah, filming that night went amazing.

I was able to keep my focus, put down everything very clean.

Yeah.

And that day I walked away feeling really accomplished.

I'm so excited.

I just landed my last final trick for this Battle Commander video and that's a wrap baby.

We did it.

Whoa!

Oh my gosh, it went so well.

Yeah.

And so now, after many hours of filming in the dark, in this warehouse, here's my Battle Commander video.

I had a blast filming it and having teen vogue followed me around this week.

So I hope you guys like it.

Shut up.

Yeah.

Have to look.

Mhm.

Mhm, mm.

Yeah.

Doesn't make any.
