hard times but good times.

this guy skates phat! check this footy out!

i met vince thru my homie justin guillen in 2007. we would all go skate and at first i had no idea how i was gonna film vince 'cause he skated so fast! i kept thinking that i wasn't going to be able to keep up or i was gonna break my fish eye trying to film the vincanity! regardless we made it work! we filmed just to get footy since he was broke, sponsorless, working a 9-5 and ripping hard! then he entered that dc king of la contest and killed it! everything changed for the better after that. we sent some footy to chocolate and the rest is history! that footage is in this part along with whatever we could film over the years. hard times but good times.

cheers vince!
