Analog clips from the early millennium.2

2001-2003
I spent my junior and senior years of high school in Lakewood Colorado, a suburb of Denver about 20 minutes away. Lakewood was a bleak and stereotypical Midwestern town and I was car-less for the majority of my stay. I probably would have gone mental if I didn't skateboard cuz I didn't relate very well with my classmates. I met some neat kids tho, hanging mostly with the Cornell St. Gang: dudes that lived in the town-homes across the street from my apartment complex off Bear Creek. I hung with Marky, Frank, Omar and Amir whom later formed the Vitamin Kids and Ben, Chris and Neil who were always down to skate and kick it. A lot of time was spent George Foreman grillin' with Omar, listening to Bad Religion while having theological debates with Neil, skating all the local spots and skateparks a bus ride away. Omar's superior emcee and b-boy abilities, Chris kickflipping everything and Marky's buttery boneless variations are highlights in my mind. The majority of footage however, features other friends from school/the neighborhood, like Josh Rivas: rich kid on the hill with all the nollie steez. Taylor Rue: blondie with the epic ollies and dry wit. Matt Dryer(I think?): The other blondie with big ollies that count for nothing in life and DJ Principle: 180 grabber and all around rad kid. Lots of nostalgia here.

Kroc Sess with Captain Black

Murrie Barnett worked his way up from a lowly employee to the mayor of the Kroc. Now he's chairman of the board. Guest appearances by the legendary Edgar Hawkins, Big Willy Aguado, Nasty Nate Lerma, and the lil' dude that wanted me to film his cab-flip. Also, best 180 nosegrind I ever did, 2 minutes and 40 seconds in.

Analog clips from the early millennium.1


Clips of Dom Lerma from around 2004. Post-manny stoke, once skate-able school obstacles and the sickest pop-shuv ever. Shot on high 8 with a special appearance by Johan.
