Kickflip Livin'
JSLV Vandalz
Over the past year Ive been shooting a lot in LA and it seems to be were the fresh things are happening. It’s true a lot goes down in the City of Angles but god damn there are tons of people out there. Commuting takes forever and your lucky if you see three good spots in a single day. I’m glad to start the new year back in SD where life moves at a pace that better fits my style. Back to talking about LA steeze, check out these two Skateboard Vandelz. Oscar and Alex make things happen and when they do it always looks too fresh. So its a no brainer why JSLV has their back. Meza, Valdez, and JSLV emanate with undeniable style. Just peep these pix of Alex and Oscar and you’ll see why they got the JSLV stamp of approval.
Meza Mania Mundaze will return shortly. Coming back strong!
WELCOME Skateboards_ New Boards & Graphics!
WELCOME Skateboards just received their 2nd shipment of boards with new graphics and shapes. I would like to tell you how awesome WELCOME is but the message wont convey. You’ll never know unless you experience it for yourself. Their origins are shrouded in mystery and the graphics seem to be even more mysterious. Each board carries with it unknown mythical powers and this ain’t some Harry Potter nonsense. Just go look for yourself. WELCOME Skateboards

BROKE Family
Recently my good friend Bryan (Skandunas) sent me a link to the new BROKE promo and it looks dope. I got the inside scoop of how everything started but this is only scratching the surface of what these guys have to offer. Skate Mafia maybe what you see on the Berrics rep’n 619 but BROKE is the crew keeping SD on the map for street cred.
Meza Mania Mundaze
Today I got with the filmer that brings all of Meza’s hammers to the big screen. Serge is the kind of homie that makes sure the skate sesh is a success. He pulls its together no matter what the situation plus his videography is off the hook.
WELCOME skateboards . . .
WELCOME Skateboards has a newly designed webpage you should cruise over and check it out (click on the logo below). Their blog always has awesome content which they update frequently and they’ve added a few new features to the layout too. Their concept and style are reflective in everything WELCOME touches, they just ooze creativity. I love WELCOME cause they’re all about the good times. If you don’t know then once you see their amazing graphics and fun shapes you’ll understand what I’m talking about. The digital shop is up and running so peep the goods, fill up your cart, and share with your friends.
Chris & Pierce Skate & Destroy SD
Whenever I cruise out with these homies its always jam packed full of crazy moments. Chris is usually out surveying the scene looking for something creative to hit while Pierce is in the zone making big things happen. Both can rip any terrain so its amazing to watch them skate. If you catch the Brunners at one of their favorite skate spots they’ll give you a new understanding of what the word “bonkers” truly means. Chris can destroy anything from tranny to big rails plus he seems to have an interest in the DIY spots. Pierce has the streets on lock but if you ever see him at the skate park he looks like a lil machine. Once I called them the Feabler Elves cause they can feable the biggest rails. Although I don’t think they were into it, I’ll think of something cool. There’s never any worries about running out of spots when you’re with these dudes. Each is like an individual skate spot encyclopedia and they don’t even drive. Name a spot and typically they know the nearest cross streets right off the top of their lil noggins. Chris & Pierce are pure skateboarders cause even if they’re in the parking lot each is having fun just rolling around. Put simply, these guys are awesome down to earth homies so its always a good time chilling. Here are just a few of the many photos we got from last Sunday while cruising around SD.
Good Times @ the Park
Last weekend I got together with a few friends and we hit the local park. Its not always possible to drive around hunting down the best street spots each and every skate adventure. So its nice to kick back, save a little gas money, and have a good time at the park.

Typically on Meza Mania we put up 2 or 3 pix with a few words from Oscar but this time it’s all photos.

Vans Downtown Showdown @ Paramount Studios LA
For me this is my favorite skate event each year and this time I was lucky enough to cruise early with Chris (GonzGoneWild) and help the Vans crew set up. It was cool to watch everything come to life in the fake city of Paramount. It’s by far the most unique place I’ve ever seen a skate comp held, plus with the skate features being created by the skaters themselves it makes Vans DTSD one of the most creative out there. I enjoyed cruising around and meeting so many new friends. Its fun being caught up in the moment and watching everything that goes down. Catching everything through the lens is difficult so during the contest I really just kicked back and let the good times roll. How can you beat it . . . VANS made it snow it LA. Watch it on FuelTV™
Meza Mania Mundaze
I caught up with Oscar on Saturday at Paramount Studios in LA for the the Vans Downtown Showdown where we handled business and let the good times roll. Oscar stepped it up while skating alongside some of todays top pros and ams. Here are a couple images I capture and a few words from the man himself.
Welcome Skateboards
Today my friend Shane cruised over to the GonzWal Studio (aka two bedroom apt.) and showed me the new line up from Welcome Skateboards. At first glimpse you’ll be struck by how awesome these graphics are and left staring at all the cool colors. They give you a choice between your standard popsicle that comes in a variety of sizes and a custom Welcome Punk shape(8.5”). Did I mention the quality is top notch? If you dont believe me Shane and I went out and captured a few visuals to show you how great Welcome Skateboards truly are.
Each board I put my hands on during the product shoot was flawless. If this is the first run from these guys no doubt we’ll be seeing more. Thanks WELCOME!
