Jesse Viera

I get the chance to skate with this kid a lot. It's always pretty mind blowing to watch this kid. His trick selection and his style are always a treat to watch. Then you realize that he's only 14. This is a bunch of footage that I filmed with Jesse a couple weeks ago. hope you guys enjoy.

Don't really have to report this but...

It was on TV, I'm pretty sure it was in the paper this morning, and your grandma probably asked you about it. Yes it is true that Slip Skate Shop burned down on Friday, but I've talked to Eric a lot since everything happened and Slip will be reopened. No rumors, no bullshit getting started here. Earlier this week Eric left this message on myspace:

"Thanks to Everybody for the kind words and concern for me And Slip.
We will relocate ASAP, Slip will FOR SURE re-open but maybe in a different location.
I have a bunch of New stuff coming in next week, Decks etc..so it may be possible to get(sell) you guys stuff from another temporary location.
I will keep everybody up to speed here on myspace as soon as I start to figure stuff out.

Eric"

Slip is still here, and If anyone wants to get a board from Slip and support Eric during this crazy time, Message me on Myspace and I'll see if we can get you some gear to support a shop that has been a huge part of the local skate scene for a long long time.

thanks

Nick Johnson Ready to Ride Shotty?

Alright exciting news ladies and gents. I get a call from the Danger Ras and he tells me that he and Nick J were talking about the site. That in itself is pretty dope! Not only that, but Nick said he feels like people think he's done, dead, not skating, whatevs. SOOOO! Vince Tells me that Nick wants to put together a section for Riding Shotgun. I'm psyched,and after reading this you should be too!

Had to post this and get the hype going....

Welcome Back Danger Ras!

After a couple gnarly health issues, Vince Salvi is back on a board. Anyone who knows about Vince, knows He's been at the top of the food chain for a couple years now. Hands down, Vince has been the guy to get the most national attention in Stockton. Not only is the dude a great skateboarder, but an even cooler guy in person.

Vince has been on the blog for a second, and asked me if I just wanted to swing by and film for a day wit him. Naturally, the answer was yes. The next following day, Vince, Ant Laniohan, Mike V, and Myself went out for a full day of filming. This is a day with Vince; Chill vibes, Natty Ice, and some dope skateboarding.

Alex Lopez for American Icon

When He's not running Kingpin, Ray also has a wheel company he is running in his free time. So far I've ridden the wheels on a couple guys boards and I can say they are pretty solid wheels.

As for the team riders, Ray has already picked up Joey Johnson and Alex Lopez. Alex is quick to the trigger with this promo. Some of the footage might look a little familiar, but Alex keeps the high quality footage coming.

Most of the older dudes from stockton have an Apollo Story. Apollo Cutts is one of the most talented charismatic dudes I've ever come across on my skateboard. He's a real fun dude to be around and this is why...

This is a little bit of old news, but it is really great to see some Stockton guys getting national attention. If any young guy in Stockton truly deserves any type of media attention it is definitely Anthony. If you haven't seen this guy do his thing on the board prepare yourself!

Last month I posted a couple videos of Bangins from the last "Bang Yo Self," contest. Kenny Osborne spent three days filming with the homie Allen Bounsouk to produce the bangin that was shown on The Myberrics website. This is the same footage from the berrics with some bonus stuff and some pimp type shit. Roll that bitch!
