ON THE ROAD FLICKS
For the past 2 months I've been on non-stop travels up and down the coast. While on the road I met a bunch of new people and got masses of footage. When I was on the road I took a bunch of pics and while going threw the photos I decided to make a gallery. Footage may follow soon in another update of some of the shenanigans. Click the fake polaroid to the left to peep the flicks.Posted by: Bradley Rosado
THE DUKE with Worrest & Tufty
Early spring some heated sessions went down at The Duke. It almost seemed there was a point when not many people were skating Pulaski but you could always find them at The Duke instead. We kind of came up with an idea of a "The Berrics" rip off. The idea quickly faded since we'd rather skate Pulaski, but here is a session that I filmed with Bobby Worrest, Tyler Tufty, & Shawn Owens. Maybe more will come. Who knows..Filmed & Edited by: Bradley Rosado
PERMA VACA TOUR
Rodent from The Skateboard Mag always has the craziest missions going on. One week he called me and told me to come down South to film.. Little did I know who I was going to be filming with and little did I know I would be there for 2 weeks! When I got down there I found out I would be filming with Chet Childress and Al Partanen! We had the radest sessions and they taught me the meaning of Perma Vaca. The trip was dope to say the least! Peep the clip to get a glimpse of the two week trip.-VIEW PHOTOS

'Flash Back'
411 #27 Metrospective
"When this came out about 9 years ago it was ill. The was the first time D.C. had been recognized world wide via 411 where there was big distribution and you knew a TON of people were going to see it. Andre Stringer was the man behind this clip. Andre was from Annapolis, MD and would come down with Jeremy Owens and Jimmy Yancy to skate in D.C. Those guys eventually moved into the city and that when the filming got gully. Some personal highlights from this clip are obviously Pep's Switch flip switch front nose in Timbs, Darrell Vaughn's ollie into the Georgetown pool that Tyler Tufty filmed - unbelievable, Tucci did that 50-50 at MLK daily, Jimmy Pelletier was filming his tricks and Little Darren came walking up the hill, hadn't skated in months, saw them skating, borrowed somebodies board and b/s heelflipped the gap on his way home - ended up in the vid and finally Andy Stone's ender.... Interestingly before this came out, Dre has originally scored the part to Wu-Tang "Triumph", but somehow the licensing of the song didn't go thru and they used this mellower jazz track. I'm planning on posting that Wu-Tang version soon..." -Keir Johnson
ABC Montage #1
This is the first in a series of collaborative montages by Allen Danze, Bradley Rosado, and Charlie Church. Look forward to these, because they will get posted as quickly as we rack up extra footage. A few clips in this also filmed by Smalls and O'dell.Edited by: Allen Danze
