Over the week of Vans BOWL-A-RAMA Knack has been creating the Roll In series for Frontside Events, the brains behind BOWL-A-RAMA and presented by Surf Dive & Ski. It was a HUGE week with a video being pumped out EVERYDAY. Roll In is your daily dose of the 2012 Vans Bowl-a-Rama Bondi.

All though not getting much sleep this week, we loved every minute of it. Check out the episodes below… Or watch them on Fuel TV!

We chin wag with this cobba dingo about moving to Bondi from sleepy Coffs Harbour, being a young dad, what makes him tick and general life pondering thoughts. Otis is a unique character and does things his own way.
“I don’t think anyone knows what their purpose is in life, I’m already a happy man. The fact i have a son makes me happy. Every night i go to bed happy. I’m never really grumpy or anything. Whats the point of being grumpy?”

Knack recently created this profile video on Australian freestyle skier Russ Henshaw for REDBULL – The guy shreds! Born in Sydney, Henshaw strapped on his first pair of skis when he was three. A dozen years later, encouraged by national under-12 slalom titles, his parents moved to Jindabyne, the golden gateway to the NSW snowfields. Now he spends most of the year with his passport in his pocket on a world dream snowfields tour; home maybe for 10 days for Christmas in the northern winter, anywhere from his beloved Perisher to New Zealand or even South America during the southern winter.
Knack recently created a 15 second Cinema Ad for Beach Burrito’s Cronulla Store. 6 burritos, 12 coronas, a couple of cheaky frozen margaritas and 7 sachets of chilli sauce later here it is… Mucha Gracias.
