A year in review...and a Happy Fuckin' New Year!

Shu and I finally got a few skate sessions in before he left for his two week stay back home in Japan.

My name is Brian and this is what I have been listening to.

While catching clips like these, Jeremy's part are steps closer to being done.

*VIDEO UPDATE*

Three to four more weeks of filming for the video deadline. I found an event space in downtown Riverside where we will hopefully premiere the video. Editing has begun too, so check back for more details in the near future.

P.S. A NEW VIDEO NAME?...

My name is Brian and this is what I have been listening to.

Try it...Dig it.

It's Trey day...from the video No Bad Days by Micheal Davis(a.k.a GBO).

Sometimes its about the trick, but I can't forget the process it takes to get there. Mike has accomplished that a few times, and remembering that gets me psyched.

It's been about 15+ years since I've been, and I want to go back to one of the wonders of the world.

I just saw the Nike SB Chronicles Vol.1...really amazing film.

My name is Brian and this is what I have been listening to.

Raymond's work ethic lately has finally found him a first on the blog. This Vato wants a Maroon 5 song for his part...sorry dude.

Tempting right...

Yous should go toos.

Big fan of Drake Jones skating in the 90's. This is a fine example of how street skating was like at that time.

Girl & Chocolate Trailer from Crailtap on Vimeo.

Once again, Girl/Chocolate not disappointing.

I'm sure you all agree.

Here's the next step...digital line renderings. Check back soon for multiple color ways.

Here are a few sketches that I've been working with digitally. I'll post the progress soon.

MARK G. FOOL!

A local painter, Ron Pete, and friend of mine, whom I met through school kills it. Here's some of his work.

Can't believe I haven't seen this yet.

The homey Matt featured in this Winter shoot.

Two more months of filming...keep the good times rolling.

ffffound.com is an inspirational website that I visit frequently. I've collected some rad old skateboarding photos from there, so go check it.

My name is Brian and this is what I've been listening to. Two of my favorite early blues players -- Howlin' Wolf and Bo Diddley.

Forrest got some last minute bangers in time for the Wild Power deadline. Sometime early December is the premiere, check back for details.

Catch Matt Miskell ripping here brah.

The best caller ever?

My name is Brian and this is what I've been listening to. Seeing Thee Oh Sees tonight and one for King Tuff who played a fuckin' rad set last week.

Tayloroverraildaddy killing it.

Jeff Figueroa ReEdit from COSBY FILMS on Vimeo.

Check this smooth re-edit for Mr. bag-of-tricks.

Check this sick, raw local promo...reminds me of some baker influence.

Two free shows this week that I hopefully wont get lazy for.

My name is Brian and this is what I've been listening to.

An alien has been missing.

One word, proper.

This looks like it's gonna be terribly good.

This part that I look back is still amazing every time I watch it. Danny Renaud's part from Habitat's Mosaic (2003) would easily be in my top 10 favorite parts in skateboarding. It didn't stop there because his parts in Static III and Last of the Mohicans were rad as well.

My name is Brian and this is what I've been listening to.

Three more months of filming for the video...lets keep the good times rolling.

IT'S A GO, SO ANYBODY WANNA GO-GO!!!

Looky lou who I found on the Skatepark of Tampa site.

Matt Bennett Welcome to Ambig from Ambig on Vimeo.

Fuck yeah, Matt!

Gotta love them redheads.

My name is Brian and this is what I've been listening to lately.

Alex Valdez...killing it.

I told Braxton if he ups his zipper, then yeah he would land it.

Put your butthole on the tranny is what we call this.

Emil Alzamora sculptures kill it. Any distortion to the human body always get my attention.

Ephiphany's video is premiering soon...check the flyer for more details.

Aguirre and I are psyched on this edit.

Lou is free, so drink your Louie Palmers.

I'm not a man who is quick to judge, but I'm sure Blazie rips the shit out of the streets.

Bloody Gums, using the rule of thirds, does just that and comes through with my favorite photo of his yet.

Forrest made the finals for Bang Yo Self 3.

there's two kinds of chicken sandwiches in this world...chicken salad and chicken shit.

SkateStache always comes thru with amazing montages...forrest is in there somewhere.

A few months ago, I was in L.A. with the posse checking this spot where I found this new board. It was written on by some skaters in English and Japanese, and given as a gift to an unknown person. I took it home, never set it up. Shu and I linked up the next week to skate, and I showed him the board I found. As a surprise, the Japanese writing was to a fiend of Shu's named Yuto, whom I also know. So what's the big fucking deal...well the skateboarding world is that small. By the way, I gave the board back to the original owner.

LONG LIVE KANE, AIN'T A DAMN THING CHANGED.

Plan B released many skate videos in the 90's, and too many classic parts from pros who are still skating today. Ronnie Bertino's steelo along with the Hiero song makes this an instant classic in my book. Plan B - Second Hand Smoke (1994)

Melvin Gonzalez came thru with this turning am edit for Us Versus Them, congrats dude.

US VERSUS THEM's: MELVIN GONZALEZ from CHOP EM DOWN on Vimeo.

Another edit will be in the works soon, so this time Jeremy Leabres will show you some summer extras. I'm sure he's leaning on a hyphy song...kids these days.
