The first footage I saw of him was in the Kayo vid, and I was blown away. Trick selection and steeze to back it. Reminded me of an early Bieble style. Nollie Heels on lockdown!
Monday nights at The Rail was the weekly sesh for most of 08's ridiculously long and drawn out winter. Jonathan shakes of the rust and locks down a few new tricks for the spring time. Cameo's by Jerry and Jay G.
The Blog has been collecting a bit of dust lately, so I figured I could try and "freshen" things up with a new segment I call: "Guys Who Skate Good and Stuff". New, Old, Whatever. Just Stuff im feelin.
Nick Trapasso - Lurkfest? (newer footage anyways..)
Nick Trapasso - Suffer The Joy
Scott Kane x Nick Trapasso
Scott Kane - Bootleg 3000
* and as far as I know, Scott Kane STILL doesnt have a board sponsor.
So I guess it was Mark P. who came across this gem. Almost like a time warp. Back in the prime King Boardshop days, we used to travel around to wierd little skate contests and games of skate. Since John and I really cant skate anything other than flat land, it was perfect, and when we heard about a one-thousand dollar winner take all game of skate, we were all over it. The fact that it was way the hell in Midland didnt really matter, cause we were pumped on redbull, and flatland.
The video speaks for itself. Basically, John made it to the finals, and got beat out by a kid doing basic tricks. $1000 for him. John Gets Nothing. Classic.
On this very day, twenty three years ago, one very special human burst through a thin layer of placenta and hasn't looked back since! Now, as a grown ass man, John Carmine Labella, we get to the chance to celebrate his gloriousness and reflect on some moments of days past. Happy Michael Jordan Buddy!
Hot off the press! Copies of WESTmetro & Double.U Productions BLAMMO are now available. Yah yeah, I know, it only took like 3 years to get this one finaly out, and its not like i really had to even do anything. Its been done for a while! Sure some of the DVD menu navigation might be a little wonky, but the bonus features make up for that (except for the one that freezes. pardon?) Thats why, for an unlimited time offer, you can get your very own copy of BLAMMO for Free! ... or Best Offer! Hit me up if you wanna grab a copy.
With Adam jetting off to BC I figured it was a perfect time to start the blog back up. WESTmetroPRODUCTIONS had a very short lived home on FaceBook, but that proved to be quite difficult and annoying. Stay tunned for weekly updates and new-old footage drops.
New for 2008. Log Footage. Because raw, unedited footage is just as good as the edit itself.
