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.

Geo Brooks

Geo moved from the bay a couple of years ago, and has quickly become a well known and respected person in Stockton's skate scene. Geo is always ready and willing to snap and has a great attitude about life and skateboarding. Geo told me he was into the blog and wanted to get some stuff going asap...

Here it is folks, the photos of Mr. Geo Brooks

Kingpin Memorial Day Contest

Riding Shotgun contributor Daniel Brooks is already a go! He put together this edit from the Kingpin contest. Dude has real high quality stuff. If you need to get some filming done, I'd recommend getting at this kid asap. He has the eye and the gear to get some epic shit going!

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....
