Welcome Back

Sorry about the lack of post on this site. Sometimes a man has to continue on with his life and neglect the interweb. With that said this summer has been one of the best ever and I'm thrilled to share it with all of my 24 followers but you'll have to wait til Monday. There will be new pics from sold out shows, skateboarding, music and a HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT along with rolling out a few new crews from the TAGsf camp so be on the look out for all of that biz.

Until then here is some music that has been tying me over as of late.


 see y'all soon.

Go Skate day!

Today is Go Skate day all across the globe so in honor of the day here is a quick clip of Bryan Sheckler showing off some technical prowess at the Kebabs.

Go skate!

Melting Pot

Pro skater Terry Kennedy has a documentary talking about how Skateboarding is a melting pot amongst all cultures with a mutual respect for one another just as long as you are having fun. Featured in the film is Prod, and new pro skater Theotis Beasly talking about they're experiences growing up.

enjoy.

lakai+Girl=Fuck yeah!

Skate shoe company Lakai has a major announcement today concerning its future. Lets listen to the commissioner Spike Jonze on what he has to say.

little Fuckers

Skateboarding is out of control nowadays. I call it the "Tony HawK" affect. Any kid who grew up playing the game thinks that the crazy combos you can do in a single trick are the real deal and the fucked up thing is now they are. You can no longer do a bs nosegrind. Now you have to do a trick into a bs nosegrind and do another trick out which is starting to become the norm. With the introduction of the Twins these little fuckers are further evidence of skating's evolution.

peep game below and mind you these boys are only 12!!!

Slice of Life

Alex Olson professional skater with GIRL Skateboards (co owned by Spike Jonze) was featured in Crailtap's Slice of life. Olson has been one of my favorite artist to check out online because he always post interesting seemingly random things on his Tumblr. Its cool that he has similar interest in art and shit outside of skating but also skates a block away from my boys spot in NYC.

ps.

I read the last sentence above and laughed so I'm gonna keep it as such.... "Art and Shit"

Check out the video below.

FULL CLIP FRIDAYS

Tomorrow.......

Doing my part as an African American Artist I will be posting Full Clip Fridays for the entire month of February in celebration of Black History Month. Every Friday for the rest of the month you can look forward to new off the wall clips featuring anything that floats my boat which is a broad spectrum so the clips will have something for everyone. Skateboarding, Dance and whatever else pops into my head. There will be some exciting guest artist featured in the clips as well so be sure to follow along. Is this a little vain may you ask? Do you know me?!?!

We kick things off tomorrow with a full clip of my time with Brian Sheckler at the skate park this week in San Francisco Lets hope that the FCF is better than this clip posted below.



Be sure to stay tuned for more!

My favorite thing of the year!

In an earlier post I spoke about how I failed with the whole Paule Abdul Dance show because the producers asked me to make a skateboard dance and did not really feel it because I stayed true to real street skating and dance. Well.....

I win bithches! One of the best skates in the world and my prediction of 2010 Skater of the Year watched and commented on the clip that I posted on his Facebook wall. Not only that but he liked it! I win motherfuckers. Just cant imagine better props from someone so ill on a skateboard who liked my skateboard dance called Push Through it.

Here's what he wrote

Brian Gibbs>Shane O'neill
The goal is to get this dance completed at the Fantasy Factory. Would you like to skate in it with Rob and my dancers? I see that Chanel can Dance too! Hola!

Brian Sheckler will launch his 1st ever mini video titled "Oh No"

Who's crying now bitches?!?!

"Oh No" teaser trailor from T.A.G.San Francisco on Vimeo.

i might as well stop skating if this is what it comes down to. Prod skating switch stance better than most pros on there bangers.

Landing bolts.

Street League

Now that sports season is over i have nothing else to Jock on until the NBA season starts again. When i say the NBA i mean the LA Lakers. When i say the LA Lakers i mean the "Black Mamba" Kobe Bryant so dont get that shit twisted. Luckily for me pro skater and hustler Rob Dyrdek started the SkateBoarding Street League pro contest with some of the sickest skaters in the game. We got Eric Koston, Prod, Torey Pudwell, Mike Mo, Chris Cole, Billy Marks just to name a few. Here is more information on the league that will also be shown on ESPN.

FUCK YEAH!!!!

heres a video of Torey killing the game on the streets.


ps. Is it weird that i went from dance to skateboarding? Wonder why the blog is called "No Expectations"

TRES PLEASE!!!

alright, so yo. Everyone who knows me well knows that i take pride in my skateboarding skills. Im so confident in my skills that my favorite thing to do on a board is playing games of S.K.A.T.E. against anyone i see on a board. I dont think twice about asking pro skaters to play against me either. Heres looking at you HUF!!! Saying that me winning all of the time would be a lie BUT i win enough to keep wanna challenging other fools. I was lucky enough to be born with a strong center and coordination which is what skateboarding is all about. Its no wonder that i moved on to dance because the same kinda coordination applies. learning to do double tours was nothing compared to me trying a handrail. ANYWHO.........On a skateboard I have a pretty big bag of tricks that i more or less have on lock because im always trying to build up my stats. However, the one of the few tricks (well theres a lot) that im not comfortable with which so happens to be the tightest trick in the book and always gets me a letter in a game is the elusive TRES FLIP. Ive been skating over a decade and still have not landed one tres flip. Ive done variations of the trick like, nollie tres, switch tres but never a regular ol Tres Flip. Fuck i can do Rick Flips and still cant Tres. Today i was skating, practicing the trick even going as far as YouTubing the bitch and im getting close motherfuckers. Mark my words i will get that trick. The thing about the Tres Flip is that it makes everything look better. Im gonna show some videos below of myself (not landing the trick) and other pro skaters to prove my point.

i was watching this today on my Gphone while skating. Sad, i know


a clip of me skating a line which would have been mad tighter had i thrown in the Tres Flip.


heres another clip of a game of skate with the Tres Flip king Mike Mo vs. Billy Marks. Anyone else think he looks like Jason Swartz?




I WILL LAND THE TRICK.


OH YES!

OH YES!

Smell yeah!

part 2 will be out on the 25th.

Weds with Reda

Reda from the Berrics folks. Not only is he a videographer/photographer he is now also an emmy award winning actor. Most recently seen on MY Name is Earl.

To my surprise Reda was not a deusche when i met him. Matter of fact, the exact opposite of a deusche. Not too sure what that would be but whatever it is, thats him.
