Thom Pringle, Cabarita

Thom Pringle has been a busy man. Thom’s a star cameo in Chippa Wilson’s new film, Now, so he’s been burning up and down the coast of Australia with Chippa himself and filmmaker RIley Blakeway, attending premieres for the movie and running amok. At the end of the film, Chippa lands the bigspin that’s now become famous via the Kustom Airstrike. Riley zooms out to show Thom standing on the beach, thrilled with Chippa’s move and saying “That was crazy!”. The air-reverse you see above was a role-reversal of that scenario. Chippa didn’t get any clips during this session and came in to stand on the beach with Riley, when Thom got a lucky little one and hucked this crazy roter. When Riley zoomed out and panned back to the beach, it was to focus on a close-up of Chippa’s face saying, “That was crazy!”.
