Long Beach

Afternoon Sesh With Joe Mckeag, Corey San Agustin, and Michael Penrose

Last week Joe Mckeag, Michael Penrose, Corey San Agustin, and Myself went cruising around Long Beach looking for something to hit. We settled at Long Beach City College, providing some ledges and things to practice hopping over, so I decided to take out my camera and shoot some flicks. The first one of Joe is my favorite, check out that top tube right underneath his knee cap. The hop was nothing short of huge. Corey also got some rail hop practice in, stepping out of his comfort zone and hopping some decent sized rails and caution tape. Penrose has also been killing it lately, progressing so much in the past few months and manning up to hit a rail.

I’d also like to take this post to announce that Joe Mckeag is now officially back on LDG, and they have plenty of new legit things in the works.

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!

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

Jackson Bradshaw + Evan Service | Royal HC Quick Clip

Probably my favorite Royal HC Quick clip so far. The potential to fuck up on this is huge, so this one really stood out in my mind. FOAD dudes always kill it.

If you haven’t checked out the new FOAD Beanies, scope them here.

Lookback | The Posse – Goodbye 2012 Edit

I re-discovered this edit yesterday as I was doing some digging around for some of the sMc crew’s old edits. Our dudes Robert Rice and Jacob Santos were in this one along with a bunch of our other homies. The crew was killer and the editing was on point. The songs went really good with the riding too. It’s a shame this crew isn’t around anymore and most of them deserted the Fixed Gear scene. But none the less, the video was really sick. Everybody went hard. Just a bunch of friends having fun on bikes, that’s what it’s all about.

Shop Visit | The Workshop in Long Beach

As I’ve started attending Cal State Long Beach this school year, trips to my favorite shop, The Workshop, have been more frequent. The shop is situated in the tight knit community of Bixby Knolls, one of the nicer areas of Long Beach.

Joe Mckeag | Royal HC Quick Clip

Royal HC quick clips are always fire. This one features Joe Mckeag hitting a wall 180 on a new spot in Long Beach. Here’s what Royal had to say:

“One of the first pros to be on royal HC, Joe Mckeag hits a local Long Beach wall (filmed by JBall). I was so happy to have this guy on royal HC a while ago and am still to this day.  His style has inspired many riders to the point where I see other riders handling a bike just like Joe.  His skill on any bike, not just FGFS, is incredible.  Keep an eye out for Joe in the upcoming FGFS video Stay Strapped.  You know it’s going to be good.”
