Washington Park in Brooklyn 12-6-08

Here's a little skate park built mainly for boarders and its down the block from the well known 51 rail. Pretty good ledge session and warm up before hitting the rail nearby plus the launch on the box is a lot of fun.




Here's the official press release so stay updated and get involved. Hopefully it grows to be more blader friendly but for now it's just a beginners park.

We Are Valo 2.5/3 Premiere 12-5-08

Eric Aguirre with AB Black

The Valo Premiere was nothing less than perfect, as we were widely welcomed and allowed to be ourselves in spite of the intriguing art garnishing the walls. The event ran from 7-11 as the crowd of old and new graced the Haven Arts Gallery to support the still growing community of bladers. Making this all possible was Ray Mendez with help from owner Barry Kostrinsky, Valo Skate Brand, Blades Board n Skate, Matt Andrews, Victor Callender, Ron Hunter and the other sponsors that were also in attendance. NY Valo support including Austin Paz, Franco Cammayo, and Joey Graziano were in attendance with the likes of Bobby Reichel, Trevor Johnson, Billy O'Neill, Nick Riggle, Skeptic Media, Ralphy Herrera, John Stephens, Ariel Suron, Kelly Mathews and many others.



As a p-rail was taking shape behind the screen, an extended version of the Skeptic Connecticut Comp played off the projector which was followed by a trailer of their new dvd expected to drop in time for BCSD '09. From the little I saw, I can say only that rolling owes Franco for his undying love and constant sacrifices. All this aside I was able to treat the crowd and Nick Riggle to portions of "Mushroom Blading" which is out in stores now and I highly recommend it just for the intro. Before the main event, Jon Julio stopped by via live  video conference call only making the night more worthwhile. Somewhere in the middle there was the trailer to the "Truth II" and the Last Man Standing Trailer as well.

I almost forgot to mention that the fashionably late Brown Brothers and their entourage did make it out in time to show support for the affair. Now to keep things short, I enjoyed "WAV 3" just as much as the previous release but some of you might complain about the swagged out music or the dominant park footage which I found refreshing and properly placed. The editing, videography, and motion graphics were all very professional and complimented each other. With all that said, NYC is winning back its title as the place to be and "We Are Valo 2.5/3" should be in everyone's collection.

Wall St Session...

so this post is a bit late but i was going through my iphoto pics and figured id but them to use in a post.

this session went down 11/23/08 and went into the night..i remember freezing my ass of that night and having to buy a pair of gloves and a face mask on the street that day.passed the camera off to ado at one point for him to film while i snapped a few photos.








by the end of the night i was begging to go home because i was tired hungry and cold. ado being the mad man he is insisted that we keep filming. even after i left a few hours later he still wanted to go and skate another spot.



the clips from that night will be in a few upcoming edits we're working on.
