Taking the YOU out of YOUtube.

DEFINITELY not too stoked on Googles attempts to destroy youtube entirely. Its pathetic how they keep trying to get people to join google plus and compete with other social networks such as instagram or facebook. Youtube is a huge community. Almost every person has a youtube account whether it be to watch videos, play music or even be creative and make a few videos. But the way their choking the public community is horrible. The way google is setting things is in favor for the bigger corporations such as vevo or other music related channels. I haven't seen anyone famous come out of youtube for a long time anymore because they're slowly killing them off thanks to google. I believe the last guy to get out of there was Fred and he was NOT funny. Not on youtube and not on his movies lol. Some are still climbing and weathering the storm such as epicmealtime. But with this who knows how long because not many people have google plus accounts. Anyway this is starting to become a google rant. Let me close that with this one statement. "FUCK GOOGLE PLUS". Back to more important matters. I could give a rats ass if i remain youtube famous honestly. I love skateboarding and like to share it with the world regardless of views, comments, or whatever. This is another fine example. Me and chris decided to get a little bit of skate in on my day off. As everyone knows we can really skate as much because of daylight savings time and Im always getting off right when the sun sets so the struggle to skate is real. We managed to get these couple tricks in. Check it out. all the footage is filmed by mr christopher. 

Hello Hanger, its been a while.

Its been a long while since I've revisited this place with friends. Its very typical on how this place happens to change almost every time you see it unless you're a local of course. This place is in Sacramento about an hour away from where I live which is in Lathrop. Chris, Jun and I managed to make a trip over there. Unfortunately Devante (a new face in lathrop) and Joey couldn't make it through since they both were helping people out that day. This was a last minute trip to do some no effort lines in an attempt to make a montage in a couple of hours. Jun did most of the filming that day and we were definitely too busy having fun to even film everything in the park because we were all divided into different sections skating to our liking. The park was literally ours the whole day until the lowcard dudes came out. They're really chill folks though and we were skating alot of tranny with them. Unbelievably good also. I couldn't help but envy over the style and variety of transition tricks they had. Such power in their skateboarding. I'm not the greatest transition skateboarder but I have some tricks. I do want to progress a little bit more on that aspect of skateboarding since most of my skateboarding has always revolved around street spots. When I was younger we had NO skate parks or had any older friends that could take us to nice skate parks out of town. We had to make due with what we had. Whether that be a curb, a box, or a do it yourself kicker ramp. We did the best we can with the worst we had. But I figure, this would be alot better for my body since Im trying to be more careful not to get hurt so I can still perform on the job, provide for my family and still do what I love to do. Anyway, here is our little video. I hope you enjoy.

MUDVILLE PARTS 1-10 FULL! :D

It was a great ride while it lasted. If you've been following up with these posts then you know it was a very hard and stressful journey. But nevertheless, I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. So much fun, great trips, and bonding with friends. The video ended up turning out GREAT! So much great feedback from facebook, instagram, twitter, and especially youtube! This by far is my Mona Lisa I give out to Stockton and Lathrop. South side Stockton in particular because thats where it all began. There are some msgs within the videos. If you want to know them you'd have to ask me ;D. Mine is pretty obvious. This will most likely be my last full lenth video I ever make and probably the last serious video part I ever make. Hours of editing and unpaid work but the fruits of my labor is worth it to inspire so many people with out skating. Remember that skateboarding isn't about getting sponsored or any other hype shit. Its about having fun with friends and just enjoying the ride while you can. You might meet some dicks along the road but you  can tell them to go lick your ass while they spit that shit haha.

CLIP OF THE DAY - IVYN TAASIN

This is me when I had varial heels before I sprained my ankle and lost them forever. This was taken early summer/late spring of 2011...or was it 2010? I really dont know. I have so much footage from long ago that I dont get to use at all.. Alot of them are tricks I cant do anymore. But anyway, I just remember it was a hella hot day. Me Nate and George were chillin at the park what felt like a desert. I wanted to get that trick real fast and it came to me pretty quick. Didn't take that many tries. Now when I try to do it it takes forever and 2 days. Skateboarding is funny like that I guess.

CLIP OF THE DAY- ROBERT TAMAYO

Today's clip of the day is Rob and his 360 shuv up the lathrop skate park bank. The tre shuv is another trendy trick like wallrides, wallies and front foot catch tres. But I admit, aside from all the trend skating I really love the way those are thrown down things. On another note, I edited this one a little differently from my other clip of the days (if you havent seen the others because I havent posted them here, please feel free to view them on my youtube channel). I think I'm going to start using this edit alot more from now on. One mistake that I did catch later like Marks "Clip if the Day" is that I rendered the quality in 720p rather than 1080p. Fuck! It was left over from the night I was trying to make older clips work again that weren't in HD. But oh well right? Rob's trick came out pretty damn good still.

New spots

Finding and making new spots all the time. Sometimes you just got to look really hard or use your imagination a little bit to make something fun. With a little plywood we made a ollie quick set up over a curb and over a gap. Fun spot. After a while it feels like you're playing hopscotch

WELCOME

Let me start by saying I'm glad I have a place other than youtube to showcase my video's in addition to my photography as well. This is the first video I shot using my new equipment. I recently bought a Canon T2i and a new laptop that can handle the HD performance. Please check this out and subscribe to my channel :D
