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.
SMC Crew
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.
Johnathan Ball | Messing Around
Just a couple clips outside The Workshop on Jacob’s Concept Assassin that I was having some fun on.
Miguel Zendejas | Royal HC Quick Clip
The Royal HC quick clip saga continues; this being Miguel’s second quick clip, because Miguel’s trick bag is big enough for it. If this clip was thrown out, I can only imagine the kind of clips that are going to be in the actual Royal 5 edit. Pumped for it.
sMc YOUNG GUNS | Skatepark Quickie
Yesterday the sMc crew took a trip to MLK skatepark in Long Beach for a little sesh and to hype up the Young Guns video we’ve been filming for for the past year. All these riders except myself will have a part in the team video along with four others. The end is near. April.
Riders:
Miguel Zendejas
Jacob Santos
Robert Rice
Johnathan Ball
Bombtrack Divide | Current Setup
Just a shot with my cell phone riding in the CSULB parking lot a few days ago. Really feeling my Bombtrack Divide build right now. Paired with the Altar Burial Handlebars, the combo is perfect. Royal HC straps keeping my feet tied down and all coming together thanks to The Workshop bike shop in Long Beach.
ROAD KILL | QUICK POSSUM KABOB
The Road Kill crew is back again including our sMc family member Robert Rice. These two rip this park along with everything else they ride. Robert is getting so dialed and Miguel has improved so much lately. Robert’s lines are buttery and Miguel’s feeble hard was real smooth. Definitely check this one out. Short, sweet, and to the point.
