Ivyn is killing right now with his much better looking blog. He did a spotlight on the lathrop homie Joey Casterjon. I met this dude a while back, and it wasn't even skateboarding. I worked with this dude and had no idea how gnarly the dude really was. He told me he skated, but dayyyyum.
Those of you who went to the lathrop skatepark benefit contest might remember this dude...

Double Dose of Geddy
Yup thats two D's (not T's) for a double dose of that pimpin!
If you've seen Getty skate in person, you already know how mind blowing the dude is. Brandon keeps it fast, controlled, and stylish at all times. I'm pretty psyched that i get a chance to skate with this dude on a regular basis; pro or not pro, this dude is one of my favorites to watch.
The fist dose is a short clip filmed by Getty's little (but huge, Ivan Drako lookin dude) brother Cameron. Simple but stylish clip. I'm sure this thing off the side of the road was pretty sketch to skate.
This second video is something I alluded to quite awhile ago. Brandon and his SC homies put together this lo-tech, hi-fun video. Brandon films, edits, skates, but mostly kills shit in this truly DIY feeling vid.

Agor & Laniohan
I've been filming with these two dudes quite a bit lately. Its always a pleasure to run into these guys on any given day.
Agor just seems to charge everything that is in front of him in the most awkward fashion possible. Think about the scariest awkward trick you can do on any given obstacle and Agor more than likely is on it. When Kenny gets that throwaway going you will see how good this dude really is. Then later this year when the Loons and Tycoons video drop, you'll probably get your face melted off.
Anthony is just good. I really can't think of any witty or interesting way to put it. This dude is just tech for no reason everyday. The dude has Natural talent and drive, a combination that is pretty hard to go wrong with. I've been filming with Ant almost every three days, he's got some stuff up his sleeve, but you'll see that later.
enjoy.

Rainy Days Links
Today it rained pretty hard so I'm sure your not going to be out there getting it in...
so you should probably go visit our links.
Sean Morales' blog has been added to the Homies Link Section. Sean and Brandon Getty are working on a full-length video project that is gonna be due pretty soon. I'm pretty sure I'll upload it to the gun, if they don't get all artsy on me and only release it on VHS.
Oh yeah.. see that big Mighty Grand link to the right. Click it!

Don't waste warm ups...
I've been filming quite a bit lately, and not everything you get goes into something special. Everybody has their warm up tricks and its usually good to get a couple of the go to's before filming something difficult. This was just some random footy from my computer that i figured i'd edit and throw on the web.

Respect your city
By Jonathon "Bighead" Rezonable
In recent memory, I cannot remember a time where someone didn't complain about a spot.
Usually I hear people say any spot is too small, too boring, you don't have a trick for this, played out, but the worst excuse ever is; the spot is not worth filming on. I can remember a time not too long ago when just being a skateboard was enough. We didn't have the luxury of driving spot to spot, but we got where ever we needed to on those same flat spotted four wheels. The whole city was just one huge skate spot. There was joy in a simple ollie of a curb, or pushing as fast as possible down the street. No ipods, no obnoxious shop beef, just friends cruising spot to spot.
Another thing I hear to frequently, is kids not going for broke until they go out of town. It seems as though everyone is in a great big hurry to leave town and get gnarly. The problem is not much has gone down on the gnarly spots we have already. To my knowledge, the gnarliest thing to go down the California gap has probably been Xavier's laser flip (that is at least what was rumored). Why not a switch bigheel, switch tre, or nollie tre? Can anyone tell me why Janoski and Worrest are getting footage at spots before the locals?
We have spots here and quality spots at that. Off the top of my head I can name Kohl, Wilson Way Ledge, Bank of America March Lane, Eight Mile barrier spot, California gap, St. Marks Plaza double set, Edison High, Stagg High, Lincoln High, Courthouse, Secret Brookside ledge, Ladds Pole Jam, Creekside Stage (ledge), Crackhead banks, Delta Sierra five rail, Bear Creek Stage and benches, etc. and do I really need to bring up Mcnair? That place is amazing.
I know there is the argument that a lot has been done at these spots. True, but the real problem is way more can be done on these spots, and its up to the skateboarders in this city to push skateboarding to that place where some really crazy things is being done on these spots. The problem is, kids are doing all their "go to" tricks at these skateparks, and saving all the really crazy experimental stuff for the skatepark. That just feels so backward to me.
Enough is enough. Respect your city, respect your spots, and try harder at your local spots. Get comfortable and get gnarly, its just that simple. So the next time your in a hurry to pack your bags and jump in your big homie's car for the skate trip, don't do it. Skate in town, and do something more than that go to treflip.
