Rap music, it’s great. Especially when it’s coupled with nice skating. I hate nothing more than some whiny little boot music in a part. Some faggot crying about some stupid bullshit. No thank you. I want to hear about the elicit side of life. You know, the streets! Buckle your shoes on another planet, because on planet awesome I recon you get kicked in your dick for shit like that. So to honor the theme of, “the streets,”we salute you mother street by taking a poo on you, and then releasing a flock of flying rats. Ishod Wair + rap music= nuff said.

A few years ago while in New York, I took a couple minutes off from an insane day of drinking in some random bar. Somehow all of the homies had ended up in NY for the Brooklyn Banks contest. With Dwindle fitting the bill, I was properly wasted out of my head and needed a break. So I grabbed up the Viper and headed over to Supreme. Once inside the shop, we recoiled in awe of their meager product selection. As we were just to step out, a DVD in the case caught my eye. “Sex, Hood, Skate, and Videotape.” Holy shit…I had heard about this whimsical production, but had never seen it for myself. Without hesitation, I purchased what in hindsight, can only be described as one of the most important masterpieces in skateboarding history. All of the basic nutritional groups of drugs, alcohol, firearms, gangster shit, titties, and of course skating were represented. Not to mention the DVD had a special message written on it from the dude that made it. So you can only imagine the glee, and tiny drops of urine, that was thrust from my soul when I saw the intro to the sequel. I now present it to you. Shouts out to Ian Reid…

…Creepy Kyle is super pissed that there isn’t a close up of his beautiful hair flopping about in the music video of his extremely, heart sounding band. If you are girl, did it make a noise when your panties hit the floor?

It looks like we forgot that we’re supposed to update this thing every once in a while. Heres an old one of Chase doing a bluntslide. Look forward to our next post, coming in a week or so.

I have no idea who did this, but it looks like shit. I love it!

This is Jazz. Thats right, his birth name is Jazz. I don’t know much about Jazz, but what i do know about him  is his parents were probably stoners, he drives a bright red mustang, and can 5-0 grind dumpsters. Enough said.

It went a little something like this. Caswell bet Raffin a pack of smokes on his next try at the 180 nosegrind. Raffin nailed it. Caswell was offered one go for redemption, and what do you know, he nailed it. Shocker. P.S. I apologize if your eyes explode from watching the two sequences at once.

Nestor is ripping (PHOTO WISE) and it’s 1000 times better than an extended kevin Staab interview?

but only has two trick in this adidas video?

minus the cleavage?

This dude was kind of around here and there when I was a wee lad. He rode for Santa Cruz, and would come up to skate and film with some mutual homies. Then he got swooped up by Planet Earth, and once that was done he was erased from my memory, until now. Steezy for sheezy. Caesar Singh. Shout out Manolo’s Tapes,kills it everytime!!!

Well the next morning came and i felt like shit so i slept  in as long as i could until an old friend called named Luda Crooks aka (Adul Skoorc). He was already at the Kids art space drinking beer with his friend from P-town,P-Stone (from Frisco) and P-stones friend who i can’t remember his name? Anyway we went to eat at super taqueria (had beer) then stopped by the bricks (got kicked out) then we were off to P-stones favorite SJ spot the beer bowl (oh ya we got more beer) When we got there it was wet so we swept it,towel dried it and drank beer until it finally dried. Peter and Wes showed up then erveryone skated! When the sun went down and the beer was gone P-stone said he had enough time for a tall can a so we went back to the kids for awhile. B-go saved the day and made some of her awsome enchiladas and we had more beer! Wondering what we did next? What do you think? We went to the Cinebar for some beers then headed the Trials pub! Beer, beers, beers, shots, beer, beers, shots untill i went home at 2 am! Well everyone else stayed untill the we hours of the morning.

hi chris,
i try to write something in english

I did’t know about this trip, i speak really little english, i didnt know these guys, i dint know where was my bag, skateboard, cloths
i totally fell an emigrant.
i just had 5 pair of socks and the NC skateshop of san jose gave to me a new board. (thanks !) that’s what i had for 10 days.
things for me were really confused. i never saw a car bigger than my flat.
my tipical skate trip is on a Fiat Panda. It’s a like coach with 4 wheels.
So the most important thing to say is thank you very much Monny!..
Get in there!
The first thing that i remember is a super cool guy screaming on a microphone in Sacramento.. we were at the zumies. i didn’t know what it was. this guy was screaming for hours.
i didn’t get a words for hours, but at one point he introduce us on a big stage like the volcom team… i was really cofused. after 5 min i was singnig with him
it was a good show i guess, people liked it, they scream volcom all the time!
after that we have been every where: in the desert on the snow in the nature and in crazy city like las vegas.
Las vegas is insane. 5 in the morning people still gambling.. lot of old people, lot of fucked up people.. watch out chese!!
that city is disneyland for adults, for my italian eyes it doesn’t makes sense. i liked it!
bbq and camping in the desert was amazing.
i ate so good in this trip.
In italy everybody are super proud about the food.
when people go in the states they used to talk shit about the american food.
i ate the best steak ever on bbq in mammuth lake, the burrito is insane, also fruit and vegetables are good.. super market are cheap.
nothing wrong with food, but drinks are really bad!!
2 million different energy drinks cheaper then water..
anyway Monny has enough sierra nevada for everybody.. actually i drank most of them,
sierra nevada is really good, i didn’t like Modelo.
i remember my first breakfast
Matt prepared bloody mary for everybody, it sucks but i drunk it.. i didn’t want to offend him, he was so proud about his bloody mary, but it was really bad. i was still drunk from the night before, i really would have liked a capuccino.
after this trip i hang out with Erick and other ohklahoma boys in sf
thank you for hospitality, thanks to mansion people too,
I cant wirte anymore because of my english.
i took 4 day to write 50 words..
thanks a lot tiltmode army guys to have bring a stinky italian with you in this trip.
it was the best trip ever
wild feet for ever!

It all started innocently on a bike ride back from seeing my barber. I saw Peter and the kids out skating and i stopped to say whats up. I was shooting this photo of shawns brother who i forget his name every time? I think they call him “Bitchin”? Anyway Javi ( from the Cinebar ) and his friend rode by on bikes and asked if i wanted to have a beer at the Cinebar. It was only 3;30 in the afternoon and a beer sounded good but that beer turned into 3 beers and 3 shots? When i finally got out of there and got home it was 6:00 and there was a message on the answering machine from Mark Whiteley saying that there was a man party at the Trials pub at 9:00. So i went down there to have a few beers and on the way out the bartender g wanted to do a christmas show that i couldnt say no to?  2 day bender #2  (an old friend rears his head? ) coming soon

Although we didn’t skate as much as we would have liked to on the trip, we did get some serious runs in on the fresh pow pow. Louie takes one to switch on the bunny slope
