Skidders Kid
Registrace 2. 09. 2023
In 2021 my Dad was killed by a shark. Though the real tragedy wasn't his death, but the loss of his life. His nick name was Skidders, he was a surfer, pilot and friend to many. In 2023 I decided to honor his life and memory through creating this channel. So this is Skidders Kid, travelling and flying around the world just as he did, and pursuing my passion in film as he would have wanted.
When someone dies it takes something from you and creates something else. That is the shadow of grief. I've learnt the most powerful way to heal is holding the hand of someone who understands your pain.
Now a shark attack is as rare as a way online to grieve.
Thats why this channel is going to evolve into a place where people who have lost someone can come to. I'm going to create videos where through a weekly themed topic this community can share stories of their passed loved ones.
I know this would have helped me. I hope it can help anyone else who has suffered a loss.
Much love,
Skidders Kid

Sight seeing in Istanbul | day 48 of 365
Walk through the enchanting streets of Istanbul and come sight seeing in this vlog. Istanbul is beyond beautiful and caught me off guard in its architectural wonderland. The colours, alley ways, streets and people bring to life a feeling of wonder. So come wonder down these lanes with us.
I love this city so much already!
It's incredible and haunting at the same time.
I will definitely hope to be back

Spoken word poem on clouds and passed loved ones | day 47 of 365
zhlédnutí 40Před 14 dny
Poetry and spoken word can bind seemingly incomprehensible grief into love. This spoken word poem is on clouds, pilots and passed loved ones. If you call a group of fish a school, then I want to call a cluster of clouds a dream. This dreamy landscape was so beautiful to admire from the plane window I just had to fix it up into something. We are about to land in Türkiye where we are excited to s...
Flying from Thailand to Turkiye | day 46 of 365
zhlédnutí 172Před 14 dny
Flying always has a special place in my heart since my Dad was a pilot. We are flying from Thailand to Turkiye after a year of travelling Asia. This flight meant a lot to both of us and it was fun to capture the bittersweet feeling. I love making video references to my Dad on these travel days on planes. My channel is dedicated to my Dads memory, it is literally in his name, Skidders (nickname)...

We sat at the airport and talked through a wrap up of our year backpacking in Asia after plunging into Phuket for a final swim before taking off to Europe.

Well let's take a look. We started this CZcams ...
25 hour bus ride | Pt 2 | day 44 of 365

Inspiration was not a sensation that accompanied me on this 25 hour bus ride. You'll find I tried my best to subside the deflation of my motivation, but I, still struggled. I hope what I mustered into a video in the end pleases you. This bus ride was supposed to be 25 hours and instead was 27 hours in the end... I think. Something ungodly. I was paralysed and stuck in my lack of ambition after ...

Is making videos worth it? | day 42 of 365
zhlédnutí 71Před 21 dnem
Inspiration if you are new to CZcams or content creation and are asking yourself, is making videos worth it? This is the hardest time to push through, the time when you still need practice but are also your harshest critic. Giving up would be easier than pursuing, and sometimes it just takes a little bit of courage to go on and see where the magic lies outside your comfort circle. I will admit,...

I make my own music for my CZcams videos and this is how I spliced up a new track, a video about making music! One of my favourite hobbies is making music and although the royalty free type of content I make for these CZcams videos is a way different style of music than what I make personally, they are very fun to make. I would usually never make pop tracks and yet I find myself loving this typ...

Hey, I'm filing 365 seconds every day for 365 days... and I'm assessing this challenge. It is a massive task I have given myself and there are a few sacrifices I will have to make in order to see it through!

We went river rafting in Thailand on a bamboo boat on our first day teaching English at a homestay. We saw elephants along the way and got to cruise through the jungle, it was the perfect way to spend our first day here in Chiang Mai.

Jemima & Louis please come back! We miss you!
Aw Steve don’t worry we haven’t gone far! My laptop has broken 🥲 so I have been getting it fixed. But the content is still being recorded! Just need to edit it and upload it over the next couple days. But we miss you too haha :)))
@@SkiddersKid ☺
Were you high when you decided to put that "THING" in your nose ? Asking for a friend.
Haha no they don’t let you get piercings if you’re intoxicated 🤷♀️
Love your musings 🥰
Aww thanks soo much!! ❤️❤️🌈
Had to watch it twice - so much history! Do you guys get a chance to study the history and culture before you get there?
We try to brush up on it a bit before going but we also find going to museums and going on tours helps so much as you can really remember and understand the history when it’s there in your face :))
I Love flying and I Love this video! It so reminds me of this poem: ‘Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds,-and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of-wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there, I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air .... Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace Where never lark nor ever eagle flew- And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.’ Notes: This poem is in the public domain. Magee, John Gillespie. "Letter to Parents," September 3, 1941.
Wow this poem is so stunning and hits a real chord in my heart 🥲 thank you for sharing this with me it means a lot. I am going to write it down and keep it with me in my journal, it’s so touching 🥰
1:27 THE WAY IT JIGGLES!!!!!!
🍑✌🏻😝😝 hahahah
Next stages will be home sick 😂 as great as southeast Asia is , we will eventually miss home
That’s so true! Home is quite a magical idea when you are so far from it. One of the blessings of traveling is appreciating where you have come from 😊
❤❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹💋💋💋☺
🥰🥰🥰🩵🩵🩵🩵🤍🤍
Part of the watchability of your videos is showing that you are human, and no one’s perfect. Also, this is a travel vlog, right? So A. It’s not supposed to be a polished film and B. No one says you have to edit and post them the day they are recorded. If you need a short break, edit & post the next day, as long as they are in order. Just a thought. Thank you for bringing us along!!
Thank you so much that’s actually really reassuring. I’ve been worried people will be upset if I didn’t stick to the schedule that I proposed but I’m glad that you think it would be fine for me to upload irregularly if need be. I’m currently at a festival right now so don’t have internet to upload anyway and so am taking a break which has been really nice ☺️ Thank you for being a part of this journey 🌈
Loved the poetry! And as for the low sound levels, I just thought that’s just how it is, so I just turned up the volume! Keep going, you’re doing great!
Thanks so much Steve! I’m glad it hasn’t bothered you too much but super keen to get the videos all consistent now. And that’s awesome you enjoyed the poetry! I like using it in my videos so I want to see where I can get it to go 😄😄
Try to remove the 'kid' title from your channel because you are not a kid anymore. It might be hard, but change must start from small things. Also, make the end of the video shorter.
Thanks for the advice! I like the name for sentimental reasons but the tip about the end of the vids is great 👍
She's not a kid, you are right. She explains why she calls herself 'Skidder's Kid'. It's a testament to being a kid to the father she lost three years ago.
I loved this.
Thank you!! 🌈
So cool seeing someone using studio one, keep going!
It’s a funny niche DAW 😂 I got it with a recording studio equipment bundle and then haven’t looked back since I know the program well now. It does the job, thanks for the support!! And thanks for watching😄🌈
I found out recently that studio one it's really famous in Japan for some reason
good vibe video, keep doing
Thanks so much!! I appreciate the support 😄🌈 good inspiration to keep on keeping on :))
That looks like lots of fun! How's your backs after hitting that slide a bunch more times after showing Louis cuts... Love your commitment!
It was so scary and also so fun! It felt like it was going to fall apart or fling you off the side.. my back was okay but Louis copped a few more scratches! Louis is saying to say now “worth it!” Hahaha. He is a bit more dare devil than me though. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🌈😝
Wow amazing thanks for sharing and now I'm your new subscriber from Canada please stay connected and have a great day
Aw wow thank you!! That’s amazing that my video reached you from Canada and that you wanted to subscribe. That’s awesome and so cool to hear! Thanks for joining the channel and coming on this journey. I’m excited to share this journey with you 😄🌈🌈

You don't need a green screen because you have nature. Your videos are excellent. Keep it up
That’s so true! The world and all its natural and architectural wonders is the perfect backdrop. I couldn’t ask for more. 🌈💙
Wow, Pai looks amazing! The scenery is stunning and your video captures its beauty perfectly. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! It means so much. 🙏🙏 Pai is such a pretty town. I’m glad you thought the vid captured it 🌞😄🌈

keep going😃😃
Aww thanks!! The support means a lot 😄🌈
Your videos are delicious. but your videos are not getting enough views. Do you know why?
Thanks!! There’s a multitude of reasons I think. I’m not making intentional thumbnails just using a screen shot of a frame from the vid. Also not thinking of titles till as an after thought. And I think as I’m making a vid every day they’re not thought out and planned. But it’s okay I’m not in it for the views at the moment, just in this for the experience! And then maybe in a year I’ll concentrate on growth, but for now, I’ll just enjoy the process and challenge of a vid a day 😄😄 thanks for watching though and taking the time to comment 🌈
@@SkiddersKid can I contact you?
Lot's of Beer Lao... Plus, big enough pee containers.
Hahaha that is definitely one way to survive! 😋
Maekhlong train market is nowadays destroyed by overtourism. In 2002 I was the only tourist there. Nowadays it feels like the Chinese occupying everything followed by Farang influencers. Chatuchak market is quite interesting, I like the animal section even some would be a little bit critical about some shops. But interesting to se the snakes and lizards for sale.
Wow that's incredible you were the only tourist there! It would have been such a different experience visiting it before it was over popularised with tourists. You're so lucky you got to experience that. That would have been a wonderful trip. And I didn't know there was an animal section!! That's insane! There were so many stalls I got thoroughly lost. I will definitely look out for that section next time. How interesting! 😃😊🌈
@@SkiddersKid Yes, when my Mum and my brother vidited me in Bangkok last February (2024) we took the train. And a couple of station before the market coach loads of tourists (many Chinese) entered this local train and it felt like MRT or BTS during rush hour. 🙂 Yes, animal section is interesting, but unfortunately there was a fire some weeks ago. Not all was destroyed, but I felt so bad for the animals there.
I did use that coach service from Luang Prabang to Vientiane in 2018. In my coach there was each "bed" for two persons, so you had to sleep beside somebody on a ca. one metre wide bed. You can imagine that it was not the most comfortable night I ever had. Would I do it again? No, especially you have now the train service from Vientiane to Luang Prabang that takes around two hours (coach was 11 hours). It is just a waste of time to take the night coach. During the day it could be OK as you can see the beautiful landscape, but during the night? And even on budget it is not much of a difference to take the train. I did that in 2023, and it was a much better experience.
Oh wow two people to a bed would have been uncomfortable to say the least hahah. I have heard some people have had to share beds before.. I'm glad I haven't had that experience just yet. We got the train from Vang Vieng to Luang Prabang and it was soo nice! Felt like a train in Japan. It would be a much more comfortable ride than the sleeper buses. Louis though is adamant about saving every dollar though, which means I have a 25 hour bus ride today that I am going on and there aren't beds in it either! Wish me luck. ;)
@@SkiddersKid Yes, train ride is so smooth on that line. And it certainly gave a boost for Laos' infrastructure. 555 Saving each dollar sometimes is too much 🙂 Travelling is also for fun and enjoyment. But I wish you good luck on your long journey! 25h - wow - from where to where?

Thank you so much!! So glad you like the music too ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💜
Outstanding visuals & descriptions of the country you two are visiting, as usual! I also really appreciate the different channels used for the music as it alternates from one earphone to the other.
Aw thank you so much that means so much! That’s awesome to hear that the different channels used for the music was effective and noticeable, definitely something I love too in that particular track. I’m making more music today so I’ll keep that in mind and try it out with some new songs 😄😄
What a great description of Bangkok! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!! I’m glad you enjoyed the video 🌈 😄
Your videos are getting better and better!
Yess thank you! That means a lot, I think they are getting better slowly and it’s fun experimenting a bit with what works and doesn’t work at the moment. But that is awesome to hear that you think they are getting better too! 🙏🌈

It is! Louis is so bummed he didn’t buy it. It was a vibe 😢 :)))
gosh I'm glad it worked out and your both okay! 😅😇
DISCLAIMER: I broke rule number 2... i'm sorry but I can't help myself but edit! So it makes it more tricky for me but a better viewing experience for all. So i'm down to only 1 rule! I have to put out a 365 second video every day for 365 days... do you think i'll make it?
Don't worry about it! Editing is part of the process, and if it makes for a better viewing experience, then it's worth it. I believe in you! Creating a 365-second video every day for 365 days is a big challenge, but I'm sure you can do it. You've got this!
