Daniel Le | 2013 Throwaway

Some real chill mellow vibes coming from this scraps edit that Daniel put out of himself. The dude has improved a ton within the last year and this video definitely shows. Really dig the song choice too, goes really well with the riding. Sound familiar to anyone?

Bike Check | Jacob Santos’ Concept Assassin

Jacob is part of our sMc family and one of the dudes I hang out and ride with the most. He’s one of the nicest people you’ll meet and also happens to shred on a bike. He just sized up to a medium Concept Assassin instead of a small and gave it a rad paint job. The bike is beyond dialed and rides really well.                                                                        See after the jump for a rundown and more pictures.

Phil Arellano | Jib Nation

Phil has been real busy shooting rad photos lately for Lockedcog that he hasn’t put out anything of himself in forever. This part is real good and Phil has progressed a ton since his last edit. Check this out for sure, second to last clip was too sick and intro shots were really nice.

Johnathan Ball | Quick Park Edit

As I addressed in the previous post, we went to a skatepark with Royal HC yesterday and snagged some clips. Keep in mind, I’ve never been too park-savvy. So I felt pretty accomplished with a few of these clips.

Royal HC | A Day At The Park With Miguel, Jacob, and JBall

Yesterday was a really good day of riding. Miguel, Jacob, and myself went over the the Royal HC headquarters to meet up, and we went over to Cerritos skatepark. We bullshitted, shot some flicks, filmed some lines, and just had a really fun time. Here’s a photo of Miguel throwing pulling a T-Bog. Check out the full write-up with more pictures here!

Checking In | Christian Ustarroz And His Custom Whip

It’s been a while since I’ve met up with my buddy Christian. He had a rim to sell me, so it was a perfect opportunity to head up to LA and meet up with him at his local bike shop, Golden Saddle Cyclery, to buy a rim, shoot some video, and snag some photos of his sweet new paint job on a custom frame, dubbed, the “Toe-Breaker.” Of course I’m not as good at taking pictures as Prolly, but you get the idea. No doubt, this is a beautiful build.  More photos after the jump.
