bueno - wizards of radical.

bueno is a defunct d.i.y skateboard company started by a prolific artist, michael sieben from austin, texas. below is a promo video showcasing their ex-team members. some of them moved on to sieben's new company, roger. this is one of my all time favourite promo video. too bad they didn't live long enough to make a full length video. rest in peace bueno, your boards will always be hanging on the walls of my apartment.
