The best way to learn anything is by watching the Pros doing it and by practicing a lot, no words and no explanations, nobody can really teach you how to do a trick, specially a 360 kick flip, everybody has their own way and their own style to do it. You can certainly learn a couple of things by watching Sebas doing his thing in this clip filmed by Gunther on a sunny afternoon in “The City of the Angels”, and maybe you can get some of Sebas wings by buying one of his PRO boards, now available also in 8.5 so what are you waiting for ???.

Los Angeles is an amazing city for Skateboarding, you can find spots everywhere you go; the other day Gunther took us to this spot outside American Apparel where you can find a series of banks one after another, Jesus brought his picnic table and Gunther took some nice pictures of what I like to call the “Jesus Pop” which you can see in the Ad below. After Jesus and Giancarlo tried some other stuff we head to another spot we found the week before to get some footage, the day was perfect and we got a couple nice lines there; after a couple more hours we went to Salman Agha’s “Pizzanista” to get some Pizza before calling it a day. So whats the point of this entry ? very simple, you want “Jesus Pop”? then go get his “Dragon Board”. Made 100% in USA by Skateboarders using the best materials and the latest “Secret Technology” :/ to make you POP way over shit just like Jesus :) and if you act now you will receive a FREE logo tshirt so what are you waiting for ??.

I’ve been Skateboarding for almost 25 years now and during all this time only injuries made me stop, like in 1997 when I Hyperextended my knee fracturing my femur a tearing my ligaments, the Doctors said I wasn’t going to be able to Skate ever again but I was back on my Board after 5 months and Im still Skating to this day. Growing up we never had a “Go Skateboarding Day” and I think that if Skateboarding wasn’t as popular as it is now a “Go Skateboarding Day” wouldn’t exist. Go Skateboarding Day is EVERY DAY, at least for me.
June 21st had a different meaning for me growing up, June 21st is my Dads Birthday. My Dad was born in 1944 in Tacna, a South Province in my home country Peru and he moved to Lima (The Capital ) when he was 4 years old. He went to school in Lima and after High School he got a daytime job to pay for his University classes where he met my Mom, they got married after a while and they had 3 kids, I was their first child.
My Dad is a great man, he might have a masters degree in finances and a 10 inches thick resume but he is way more than that; My Dad is a funny and creative man; He made a Styrofoam cutter out of a battery and a little cable to make us Styrofoam planes when we were kids; He draw a huge Spiderman in our room and let us draw whatever we wanted on those walls too; He grabbed a piece of thick wood in 1987 and made us Skateboards heavier than life, later in 1991 he covered with Fiberglass a home-made board I broke in an early attempt to make a board with Concave; He recovered my stupid $120 Reebok Pump sneakers after I got robbed; He loved to play the guitar ( Until I broke it, sorry Dad); He likes mysteries and UFO’s; He loves books and he reads a lot; He has a huge library constantly growing and he has one million stories to tell…So to me he is an inventor, a painter, a comedian, a carpenter, a musician, a handyman, a hero and more than anything a dreamer, he bought a doorbell and the bell before even owning a house.
Our parents always supported us when it came to Skateboarding and Im grateful to had parents that let us be who we wanted to be and let us follow our dreams even if they took us far away from them. So today being my Dads Birthday and also the so called “Go Skateboarding Day” I was thinking that birthdays, holidays, anniversaries and every other kind of “Special Day” doesn’t mean that all the other days are not special or important. Every single day is Go Skateboarding Day and we grow older by the second so lets celebrate today, tomorrow and everyday. Happy Birthday Dad !!!! ;)

Big props to our AM rider Luie Isais, he keeps throwing hammers and here are a couple of examples from this weekend. Life Extension had a BBQ at Cherry Park for 4/20 and Luie landed a massive Front HeelFlip over the gap, other sick tricks went down too so check the whole clip till the end for Luies trick:
Luie also has a Guest appearance on Blinds Sunday Fundays with Kevin Romar, just click on the image below to watch the video, Luie kills it and he is repping the 92 Pants in Brown, yeahhh !!!!
On a second note Im finally done with 3 new one-off Boards; The Super Goat, The CFL Bird and the Chicordia are the newest Team Series; The Goat one is going to piss-off some people but thats the beauty of it, took me a while to finish it but it came out great :), The Bird one is one that I wanted to do for a long time cause I like Birds and the “Chicordia” is my take on one of the best Boards I’ve ever Skated in my life, The “Chiquita Board” that World Industries made for Jovantae Turner back in the day, I think I had more than 5 of those boards and I always loved the simplicity of it. All the Boards are available in limited quantities and they are made on order so get yours today :) and come back on Wednesday for the new tshirt line !!! Over and out :). CFL.
