A TWERKIN'20's GYPSISODE: HI LIFE EDITION: EP. 1 MANANA MICE


What better way to start off a web series than with the motherfuckin MANANA MICE! Don't let their pint size appearance fool you cuz these fakas are some of the most shredical groms I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and shredding with. Simply put, these groms have no "quit" in them; they'll huck carcass all day no matter how hot out it is, how over a trick they are, even harsh injuries can't hold these yung bois down. A good example of this is my boy Keoni, I witnessed first hand, this kid's leg snapping in half at the knee. Twas a grisly sight, I couldn't even bare to look at the mangled mess that was his knee that day and the funny thing was he wasn't even phased by it, he had his homies taking instaflicks of it as he laid in the grass smiling as paramedics tended to his wound. He has since recovered and judging by all the instavids and flicks I see on the daily, he is back in full force, fully ripping the fuck outta his shred stick like his knee injury never happened. Kudos Keoni, this GYPSISODE is dedicated to you and the rest of the GOONS!

Tizzle Twerk

My good friend, Mikey "Tizzle" Ramirez came down from Springfield Oregon to visit for the Holidays. We filmed this video in 2 days, a Friday night at Santa Rosa and St Helena Skate Parks and on the following Sunday afternoon in the Downtown Santa Rosa area. It's a good thing he rips and is able to throw lines together out of nowhere, this made it real easy to stack clips one after the other. Most of the time I  am struggling to keep up with him cuz dude just doesn't stop. Mikey is currently living in Oregon working for the DUCKS and shredding for Manna Boardshop. Keep killin' it Tizzle!

A U-turn/Philly can ollie rails/Baggins has scabies and pissed on a pirate ship in Vallejo/lady shredders can meatbag too tour.

A few weekends ago a few of the Ugly Lookin' Kids packed Robbie's Yukon up with some rats and gypsies and headed East bound and down. The crew consisted of myself, Philly McGilly, Gypsy King, Philbo Baggins, and Robbie V at the helm. The mission was to hit up Benicia, Concord, and Walnut Creek skate parks and whatever street spots we saw on the way. Good times were had by all despite Taco Bell not getting Baggins' order right. Can't wait for the next U-Turn tour and yall better hope you're in the van! Enjoy.

Team Baseball Tee aka Team Moist at St Helena Park

Twas a frigid January night when we decided to pack Boston Nick's van full of Rats and journey down to St Helena skatepark to make good use of the lights. The crew consisted of Moe Sao, Jose Rivera, Steven Tran, Kevin McGowan and Nick Fuller-Porter at the helm. With a solid pack of rats equipped with an iPhone 5, a Mino HD and a tripod, VLFL was in full swing. Ninj had entrusted me with all the footy to throw into an edit and I gladly obliged. I wanted to make a rad edit but when I sat down to make a go of it, I noticed that some key factors were missing in this Twerkin' 20's recipe. Then it hit me, I was in need of some added spice to flavor this edit. Those essential ingredients that I desparatly needed came in the form of a Jungle Banana and a Jive Ass Turkey, otherwise known as Drukaki and D'irtagnon. Throw all of these goods in  a pot and stir in a lil bit of Austin Missner and bon appettit, you got yourself a tasty, hot bowl of "St Helena Nights" 2013. Enjoy and stay warm my dudes!

It's not a Tahoe.

I found some old clips of OULK TM, Robbie V, skating the Ukiah skatepark. The clips had been chillin' on my hard drive forever so I thought I'd throw 'em into a Twerkin' 20's edit along with some iPhone clips some of the homies filmed a week ago at Windsor Park. Featuring Sinath Sao, Moe Sao, Gabriel Zavala, Fupa, Branden Carrell, and Robbie V. Enjoy.

Video Premieres on the horizon


First off I'd like to apologize for the lack of Twerkage on here lately. I've been busy balancing filming for a few videos  (Brotherhood Boardshop's 'For the Hood' and  OULK's 'RATS MOBB'), work, and creating art. This summer has been so full of fun and shreddage that finding time to edit these cellphone clips are few and far between. After seeing all the homies come together tonight to watch the premiere of Chapter One of the Made in Emerica series filmed and edited by Santa Rosa's own, Jon Minor, I felt the need to premiere the latest twerk. In short, I decided to throw together a quick clip of some of my good homies skating the Windsor and Healdsburg skateparks.

Also I'd like to mention that the premiere for Brotherhood Boardshop's video "FOR THE HOOD" is coming up quick, September 22nd, at the Heritage Public House. Don't forget to stop by Brotherhood to buy a ticket for the premiere before they're all out. Hope to see everyone out there. Make sure to keep posted for the premier for OULK's "RATS MOBB" video, premier date still pending.

Lastly I'd like to have a moment of silence for our fallen homie, Darren Lutter. Darren was one of the most raw and talented dudes to ever set foot on a skateboard. He had such a heavy  presence about him that he exuded with every aggressive push, insane pop and his ever eclectic style. If you're reading this right now, pour some liquor out and please share with me, a moment of silence in remembrance of Darren. Rip in Paradise
