haha I'm out of credits too and I don't think I'm going to be using actual dollars to purchase online credit points anytime soon, but it's all gravy :) Anything involving the Peanuts gang is rad and I really appreciate it. I sell the actual charlie brown christmas tree at my job and I'm thinking about snagging that thing for myself for christmas hahaha I'll keep you posted if I do. I don't know any1 that doesn't like sweet potato pie so I figured you'd dig that lol I know a good bit about So Cal. Moved to San diego after I graduated high school for a couple years but I'd still be down to hear the p.o.v. from someone that's lived in cali all their life. What makes it difficult to get pharmacy? Did you change up locations or something? That's a bummer to hear that you don't make it up there as often, hanging out at the shop just chilin and skating are definitely some good times and I miss those as well. Oh man, the rocky driveway lol I have been there and I feels ya for sure but I seriously was stoked for you when I read about the driveway and street being paved, that had to be a good feeling! You could skate as long as you want without the interruption of jagged and lethal groundage lol you do kind of get a comfortable feel and somewhat of an addiction to skating after a while, kinda becomes apart of your daily routine, depending on how your work/school schedule is and the time zone bc I usually like to skate in the day time, don't matter the weather unless it's raining cats and dogs lol but if it's night, a pretty well lit area with smooth pavement works good otherwise I just cruise lol I don't see a point in quitting either, too much physical and mental work has gone into it, why stop now? I have the best time when I'm on my board, definitely a stress reliever haha I only hope to meet more people around here that share this feeling, that would be really cool :-)
hahaha my intentions were never to make you jealous, more like giving you an idea of what to expect when you take your first visit over here. Same thing with the hot dogs, there are venders selling almost everything all over the place, I'm sure you'll like the city alot. The only thing I wish was still around is Coney Island in it's original state. Many childhood memories south of Brooklyn. I won't go into anymore detail about the city bc you really need to experience it first hand to really grasp the idea of how new york operates. Yea Id check that out with your shop owner, I'm sure DLX or podium or some of those cats help you guys get some videos, that's how Allen got his hookups. I would say ebay or something like that but I've heard cases where you don't get what you order sometimes lol sometimes you get nothing at all, which is a bummer beyond anything! Oh yea, I was a mean supporter of the shop..whether it was buying shoes, a deck, sticker slapping the town with SP stickers or whatever I could do to help out. SP was like a second home pretty much, met some cool peples and some not so cool peoples lol but nothing was liking the starting years of skateboarding. All the hard work, sweat and blood being released on a daily basis....just to get the board off the ground! Simply amazing now that I think about, I don't think I've ever worked as physically hard at any thing else compared to trying to ollie for the first time. Now it's like "oh I gotta ollie piece of sidewalk sticking up, alright...pop...peeace" hahaa my exgirlfriend became quite annoyed by it but it's too much to quit and I tried teaching her but she claimed she'll never get good. Getting comfortable on a skateboard doesn't happen overnight lol that's why I think it's starting to die down in my town, alot of these kids had super deep visions of going pro as soon as they walked into zumiez or whatever chain store and picked up their first pro board lol hope your turkey day is flippin awesome, Amber :)
I can totally understand your pov, and I like how you applied it to the ny pizza in the grocery store bc I can tell you from personal experience that ny pizza is some epic stuff! Nothing else is like and the smell hovers around new york, the shops are everywhere! And then when you walk into a grocery store in a some other state that has "new york pizza" written all over it you know this imitation isn't going to cut it lol gotta get the real thing. The skate shop in my old town used to actually order videos upon request, so if you wanted modus operandi, Allan would find a way to get it to the shop lol I was too stoked to watch Fully Flared online, just couldn't do it. And they had a premier at the shop on the release date but I had to work that night so by the time I got off and I walked in I think I made it around Guy's second part or something, but still was blown away by it and by my man MJ! Dude is insanely sick, I have the same video of him vs the legion of doom on my myspace page lol It's a real bummer bc the shop closed down this summer bc no support was coming through like it was circa 2004-06, good times! So this whole berrics unified isn't too bad of an idea, but to make it seem like if you don't contribute money to be in the berrics unified, you're not considered important, which is bollocks! lol The video just threw me off a little, I'm down for it but don't make it seem all non-contributing shops suck. What are your thoughts on it?
Yea, losing a family never really is a swell thing, you do kind lose a bit of yourself whenever they pass, but you keep the memories with you forever and spread those to your children about how awesome great-grandma was :-) The situation with my grandmother was a real strange thing bc although I had always considered her as my grandmother, and still do to this day(strict on everything I did but still awesome!), she wasn't my biological. My mom was adopted and I had found that out around my 7th or 8th grade. My biological lived in Long Island, NY. I had been living in NC around this time, as did most of my family including my grandmother for many, many years so it was kind of a mind blow to find out I have a whole other side of family in the city somewhere lol Mind blow #2 came when I found out her nationality was 100% puerto rican, and it kinda made sense why I used to do so well in spanish lol my mom took my sister and I up state to visit and she was cool as hell! Her son is a dj at this ny radio station that plays alot of really good underground rock/hip hop/techno so I was truly stoked to meet him. She died around my freshman year of high school from parkinsons disease but I'm glad I got to meet her before hand, she impacted my life alot during that one trip and she was a beast at chinese checkers lol I guess i was pretty lucky to have known two great people out a very awkward situation as a child, but I love em both and they'll stay with me for life. and that's that lol
remember that kid that was talkin shit a while back and i was gona come get you and we wer gona fly to oregon to go beat his ass...you seriously dont remember that do you....no more cat nip for you.
I have to admit to seeing the alien video on here first, but it was just too good to not buy. Yea I bought mine for 30 at zumiez, Idk if I would've found cheaper anywhere else besides online but I rarely do any online shopping and I really wanted this video. I have a few videos but the prices for most of them are pretty steep, except for the last Black and White, the Mystery vid in which my local shop owner in NC hooked me up with that lol I can sort of understand some video prices like Right Foot Forward and Extremely Sorry bc there's more than just dvds in those boxes, and the boxes are bulky as hell lol but most of them truly make me consider just watching online or downloading them bc as tough as it is to actually make any money doing our regular jobs nowadays and trying to keep roofs over our heads, it makes it that much tougher to support alot of skateboard companys by purchasing product. So if I ever have any extra money, I'll try and purchase a video or maybe a pro deck(although mini logos and bummer high are cheap but great boards lol) but a majority of my cash goes towards me getting my van so idk, Im for online watching and not for it, depends on your financial situation. Either way I contribute as much as I can to help keep legit skateboard companies alive.
I'm sorry to hear about your grandmothers passing, we pretty much used to do the same thing until my grandmother passed a few years ago. Then we started going to my grandfathers and then I started moving around so Its been some pretty random places since about 2006, friends houses and helping out at shelters with my mom and stuff like that. This year it's going to be at my older sisters new apt. so she's pretty stoked about that, as am I but I gotta be at work the following day so that kinda sucks lol working retail on black friday is one of the sketchiest days of a sales associates career haha but its money in the pocket and plenty of good experience so it works, no regrets :)
Wow, what a crazy ender!! Thank you for sending me that, Ive seen bits and pieces of New Blood, but I enjoyed this part alot! The back lip at 2:33 was nuts, definitely going to try and pick up this video soon! Mickey Taylor seems like a pretty cool dude, I like watching him skate. The long bs crook in Mind Field blew my mind, perfect lock in lol It's all good on the messaging back, people have things to do and places to skate and I understand so it's all good :-) I hope all has been well with you in the last few days. Got any Thanksgiving plans?

I admit to seeing a little bit of New Blood, not the whole so I'll hold out on rattray's part until you send it to me lol I'm pretty stoked on how quickly the new zero video was completed, considering fallen makes up a good bit of the team but I would imagine that alot of the footage that didn't make Ride The Sky will make it in Strange World. Ehh, I wouldn't be too bummed if I never meet another pro, I'm just glad to be skating period but I think having a session with Gonz would pretty much put a lid on it haha I'd be good for years and years to come. Something to tell my kids in the future haha oh man, that would be awesome to get my kids into skateboarding but I don't think that'll happen anytime soon, I'm trying to let this party train run it's course and then what happens happens haha
Wow, thank you for the video! John Rattray is pretty much a beast all around, killed it in Feed The Need. Another skater that who pretty sets his feet his in that way is emanual guzman. I would hate to mess up a line as well going as fast as he does lol I haven't ran into any of the skaters who seem to act more celebrity than just themselves but I have heard of such cases. The owner of the skateshop back in my town in NC said one the nicest and most humble dudes he's ever met on a board was Gonz, and I believe him lol I skate the city on occasion hoping I run into him cruising around manhattan or something lol I'd be pretty stoked to meet Koston and Berra! Koston pretty much got into skateboarding after watching Yeah Right and Menikmeti so many times and Berra has just been ripping for so long and always on a humble side, such good style and overall good dude. What they're doing for skateboarding with The Berrics is most definitely a good thing, it connects alot of us and goes beyond the US. Always a good feeling to know that someone enjoi's something just as much as I do but with a same love for it :) Speaking of love.....
I remember when I got this video a about a year it really made me see how much skateboarding means to a person. Alot of heart and commitment go into it after a few years skating and leo's style def. shows it lol kid is sharp with pretty much every trick!
Thanks for hooking me up with that vid, that dude is very sick and the song is awesome! I wanna see busenitz get s.o.t.y. for real lol dude deserves it! Yea you pretty much grow out of "fanning out" in front pros as you get older, just being chill and talking to them is good enough, you never if you might get invited to hang out or session with them.
This entire video is sick! Gunes Ozdogen killed it in Inhabitants and I thought I might share his Adidas part with ya lol dude rips with serious style!
Do you make skate videos on a regular basis or just enjoy watching them?
