When we heard Eduardo Sanchez had a new video out featuring, among others, a heavy swath of the Slappy's Garage crew, we raced to Ed's Youtube to give it a once over. What greeted us was nearly 40 minutes of the hottest footage to come out of America's Finest City in some time. Settle in, throw it up on a big screen, and see how the San Diegans do it.
Big roll call here: The video featurews DJ Martin, Evan Gallen, Jorge Robles, JT Silverstein, Dylan Donnini, Colin Barton, Miles Blackman, Cory Juneau, Julian Godines, Tayvin Dominguez, Sidney Catto, Bella Drake, Bryson Farril, Mason Spears, Bentley Thompson, PJ Encina, Simon Johns, Chris Chemaly, Owen O Rourke, Isaac Buchanan, Nolan Lively, Tate Carew, Aj Frick, Malcolm Amin, Juan Lee, Austin Smittle, Nemo Leonelli, Jimi Rehman, Aj Nelson, Koston Eaton, Jake Hofmann, Kevin Love.
DJ Martin kicks it off with a psycho, never-been-done, double set Ollie to set the tone. Classic SD spots like the Lemon Grove curved ledge, city college rails, and all kinds of new ones, shaped boards, questionable cameras—the kids are alright. This crew's got spots for days, but did get out of SD though, some LA and SF clips abound in there. They get down on the classic Willy Santos rail and also get served in the rough streets. Those incredible DIY banks get served up proper. Great soundtrack of course. Stay tuned for some heavy transition clips that cover San Pedro, Washington Street and even Tony Hawk's ramp.
By the end of run time, we're seeing everything possible getting torn to shreds. This new generation is really, really good (that wallie through the tree!), and Ed is the guy at the right place at the right time to give us this gift.
Additional Filming by Kevin Love, Nolan Lively, and Cage Cocalis
