Stickaid 2010

Posted at 1:51 PM • 3 Comments

Hey everyone!!

So this weekend (Sept 4-5) a very exciting event is taking place online: Stickaid 2010! Stickaid is a 24 hour non stop variety show streaming live on Stickam.com to raise money for UNICEF.

Now my good friend Myles is hosting and organizing the show this year and asked me to put together a video segment for the show. This is a snippet of my 2010 segment and below it is my segment from last year :)


Since I had so much fun doing the video concept of last years, I figured if it ain’t broke, why fix it :P

To find out more, please check out http://www.stickaid2010.info/ and to donate, please go to http://www.justgiving.com/stickaid2010.

-Thanks! <3

So here we have the second video for you from my Jamaica trip with Sanyo Xacti!

In this video I got the opportunity to go to Dolphin Cove to swim with the Dolphins!!

Dolphin Cove, Pen

Dolphin Leaps

Kiss Kiss Dolphins!

Riding the Dolphin

Regardless of the expression on my face I was rather concerned if I would be hurting the dolphin by doing this :/

Dolphing Cove 3

I find the massive amount of Xacti Cameras in the water slightly funny :P Poor Dolphins, probably though we where crazy!

Dolphing Cove 1

Next up we have the Waterfall! Now this was a pretty crazy experience, we had a group of local tour guides that literally knew EVER stone and step as we trudged up the river. While there I ended up jumping off tree, swimming through an underwater cave, wading underneath the waterfall (even though it was only a TINY space!).

Pretty crazy! I heard Charles say it was one of the best experiences of his life! Where as, well I wouldn’t QUITE put it at that :P

Trucking through to the waterfall!
