Pre-Thailand Funk

2 trolls under a bridge.
I found some random Iphone & gopro clips of Austin Funk, all filmed during the Skummer of 2012 & before he became Thai & ate Durian. Since he was recently inducted into the realm of the #TWERKINTWENTIES I thought it fitting to have him be the subject of the latest Waste Management/Rat Droppings segemnt here on the Memoirs. We, as skateboarders, know all too well the simple fact that a lot of things just don't come easy, this is especially true when you're out trying a trick in the streets & trying to capture it on film at the same time. Some days all the planets align and ya got it, tricks that are like a flick of the switch, but then there are those days when you are stuck in a pickle, battling a trick for hours and sometimes to no avail. With this WMRD series I wanted to showcase what the Rats go through on a daily basis, like a soldier heading to the frontlines, weapon at the ready with the skateboard being the weapon & your battlefield, the grimey, piss-stained streets of the city. In the Rat droppings section you'll see young Austin's struggle. You'll see the roll-ups, the trials, the recon, the second opinions, the "You got it dude," the "1st try or Dies," & ya can't forget the "close but no cigars" & "better luck next time fuckers!" It's all here for your viewing pleasure, enjoy & keep having FUN! Cuz if you're not having fun, then what's the fucking point?!

4 OUTTA 10 ARE SQUIRTERS


Our good pal & fellow gypsy, Austin Funk, has finally graced us Ugly Rats with his presence. The young Funk has been busy getting scholastic & fighting of ladyboys trying to steal his lucky charms out in Bangkok. Luckily for us, dude is back home on break and getting ONE HUNDRED PERCENT HOT ROD with the FAMM. This footy was all captured on a hot ass Saturday during Nards' and Funk's Barfday weekend, Happy Belated Barfday to you both and a very Ugly welcome to Austin Funk into the hot rod stuntin' #TWERKINTWENTIES! It's all bombing downhill from here, Austin. Enjoy & Keep having FUN!
