Been a while...

Sorry about the delay, supposed folks who are lookin at this shit, but it has been a more than eventful weekend. Thursday being the high point and Saturday being the nadir.




First things first, the LRG premiere of "Give Me My Money Chico" was amazing. Seriously the venue, the open bar, the cavalcade of stars ranging from my personal heroes of the mid and early 90's to the new school allstars..all amazing. The video did not disappoint by any means. Whoever was there left more than content, with their fill of bangers, tech madness, unbelievably smooth style and cinematography. Shit was amazing. Rodrigo Peterson opened it up with a part that was almost imposible to follow. Tre flip crooks and nosegrind on a rail in a single part? whaaaaaat? Fuckin ridiculous. God I wish I hadn't drank so much so I could get into some more specifics on the other parts but toward the end shit got a bit blurry. The middle of the vid was just as great with superb style and spot selection. Chico, Kelly Hart and Andrew Langi stand out in my mind. For someone who has been a pro since I started skating, Chico has maintained in newer tricks throwin lasers all over the place. Ridiculous. Langi was a show stopper. Mainly cause it seemed like not too many people expected a part from him. I know I didn't. But his banger was fuckin huge. Finally the video had like three enders pretty much. Jack Curtin, Rodrigo TX and Rob G, all killed it. For real it was like 20 minutes of everything you could ever wanna see from a vid. Thank god for this release. The video had so many good parts its hard to remember them all but the team is so cohesive that it really appears familial. It reminds me of Listen's "Viajeros Locos," in that the cinematography, spots, tricks, team, soundtrack... all came together to form a movie that will in my mind will be timeless.

On a side note fuck Duke. I know they won but fuck them.
