Skavenger, again.

So I'm sitting here at 4:17 a.m., stone sober, drinking an Ito En Green Tea and watching BASE Neighborhood Superheroes (can we get a DVD release please, Enos?), and, well, I may as well post something.

Watched the Skavenger video the other day (thanks much, Rone), and realized that, not only was I there for a lot of the filming (you can distinctly hear me say "yeah" after George D's ridiculous ledge combo) but I actually shot some flicks of tricks that showed up in the video. Which, I figure is a good reason to re-post some of them. Right?

(By the way, if you haven't bought the video yet for some reason, step your game up.)

Sleezy E, cover shoot, Halloween night. The "LA" is for Launchpad, wreckanize.



Edwin Delarosa, 360 street gap. Pretty sure you can see my flash fire in the video. My bad.



Aaron Ross, feeble to manual to 180. If I remember correctly. Tribeca in early October, no flash. Still pretty psyched on this shot, actually.



Skinny, fakie to bars on a not-totally-brick day at the end of December. I'm actually not entirely sure if this was the same clip from the video, but what the hell.


This definitely wasn't in the video—because no one was filming—but seeing that Nigel did a ton of 180 bars in the video (including some while he was still riding for We The People). So, yeah.


Um, same thing here. Not the same icepick Ralphy Ramos fires out in the video, but same trick at the same spot. And I don;t think I've ever posted this photo before either, so there.


Um, apropos of nothing, Keith Mulligan's section in Neighborhood Superheroes is really, really good. Not as good as Will's (which is one of the best BMX video sections of all-time) but really good, nevertheless.

P.S. Come back, Rich Andreu.
