This is the very first video Independent Trucks ever put out in their 30 years of existence. Independent is synonomous with hardcore skateboarding and I was honored to make this video for them. Keeping with the fast paced world of the internet, they put up a website just for the video and released 2 parts each week. You can actually burn your own full resolution DVD from the site, artwork included!
Foundation Skateboards has a long history of great videos so the pressure was on when it came time to edit this one. Many coffees and sleepness nights later it was done. The premiere went down at the Pacific Gaslamp Theatre in San Diego and we packed it full. The cops ended up having to disperse the huge crowd afterwards and Lizard King got beat down and arrested. Check out the website and this review in The Skateboard Mag.
"Label Live" 2004
ripping every spot that we came across. Most tour videos are put together overnight but I poured my heart and soul into this one and was really happy with the results. Plus there are so many bonus features it's like having 2 videos for 1. Check out this review.
"Independent 30th Year Anniversary Tour" 2008
This was probably the best tour I have ever been on in my life. Chillin' with the likes of Christian Hosoi, Jeff Grosso, and Lance Mountain made me fill like a 15 year old skate rat all over again. Not to mention all the great spots we hit along our travels across the good ole' US of A. The crew was so huge we needed 3 cameramen to capture all the action. Go to the website That Independent made just for this video and enjoy all the parts for free!

"Back in Black" 2007
This was the last of 4 videos that I filmed for Black Label Skateboards. It was hard to leave a job that I loved so much, but if I didn't, I would have missed out on everything I've been able to do since then. As of yet, I still haven't found a boss better than John Lucero.

"Who Cares/The Duane Peters Story" 2005
Duane Peters is one of the gnarliest humans walking the planet and it was an honor to be a part of this project. "The Master of Disaster" is still living up to his name, taking harder slams and ripping more than most youngsters today. If you like punk rock and skateboarding, get this movie today.

"Black Out" 2003
Ahhhh, my salad days. This was the first legit skateboard feature I ever filmed. I even made it on the box cover! Electric generator, lights, traffic, cops, and security guards were a part of everyday life, not to mention skating. Paying dues to do what I love.
