Friendly Reminder

2011-07-20T23:11:00.000-07:00

As we get older we have to remind ourselves of the veteran pros that still work hard and put sick video parts together. Even if you're not a spritely spring Chicken any longer, you can still make it happen with dedication and a good group of friends to skate with.

Check out Rick Oyola's Epicly Later'd episodes on vbs.tv to see some raw and creative skating. Here's his part from the Static 2 Video.

High School Days

2011-03-01T20:14:00.000-08:00

Just thought this should be dusted off and make it out for all to see every once and a while. Priceless footage of our young days. Skateboarding in it's essence, when youth and energy were in abundance and skateboarding was still being explored in new ways for us. Nick and Dave are killing it in here. It was a great time with everyone those years.

2011-01-05T19:03:00.000-08:00

Been saving these clips and now that I have a different phone with better video resolution I put all the ones from the old phone together. Sorry for the slacking in the skate department and posting. If anyone is trying to skate hit me up out here in SF. Happy New Year!!

Major Slacking in the Skate Department

2010-10-26T23:39:00.001-07:00

sorry about the lack of posts, I've been super busy. But here is my first ever youtube video posted over 4 years ago. A time of sunshine and care free skateboarding... the good old days. Oh yeah and I actually could do tre flips then.

Unseen Oldies

2010-07-29T11:57:00.000-07:00

So I went through all these tapes again searching for Eddo footage. If anyone else has Eddo footage or photos, be it skating, martial arts, motorcycling, or anything contact me at justshredit@sbcglobal.net. I'm also looking to interview Eddo's friends for the next BG video dedication intro. Until then enjoy this other footage I put together from the So Fresh and So Clean days.

It's been far to long since a post so Nick and I escaped the freezing SF weather to experience actual favorable summer temperatures that are off the peninsula. Met up with Mullet, Jon, Andy, and Nick and skated some ill spots, and we're hoping to go back again for more.

Mayfair Skateplaza

2009-08-19T08:53:00.000-07:00

Super mellow park and everything grinds pretty much perfectly. Its in a chill neighborhood, I like the community garden planted around it and the nice mexican lady selling drinks right outside. Go check it out some time. Watch out for crowds later in the afternoon, but they may consist of people like Jerry Hsu, who came through the day I was there.

Bad times for Skateboarding in the East Bay

2009-08-13T11:50:00.000-07:00

I was in Fremont yesterday and I was hoping to get a little skating in at their wooden skate park, but I guess I got there a little too late. What's funny is the guy at the skate shop told me there is a million dollar budget for a new one. I find it hard to believe that Fremont has a million lying around for a skate park in todays economy. But hey dream big I guess...

Here is a very nice roll of film that got some very nice blue squiggles and dark scratches on some of the negatives. Walgreens tried to tell me it was my camera but it has never done that before. I photoshopped some of the scratches out, but left this one alone.

Nick and some fools went to the huge new indoor skate park in Rocklin. I couldn't go but they took the camera along with them. Unfortunately though I recorded over all of the indoor footage when we went filming today... bummer. All that was left from their trip up I-80 was these few tricks from Nick when they stopped at Fairfield.

I got a little FUJI digital camera at the mall and skated around the SFSU campus with Sean for some quick footage, then returned the camera the next day so I can get a better one. Enjoy our little skate day.

I'm staying the night at my parent's tonight, this is a picture and video of their new puppy, Shemp. (the name of one of the "3" stooges no one remembers) Come back soon for some cool skate coverage and things of that nature. Holla back.
