This is my third compilation of skate videos provided by a fellow skater and our videographer Jose Calva, and myself Rick Lewis. The last song in this video is of my own creation called "Rock the Skates' which I made on my own equipment.
Great video! Skating has changed so much, almost everyone I knew 5 years ago has left it. The vibe is so different now, less about actual love for skating and more about getting attention on IG, dressing up in outfits and trying to be a "Skate Influencer". I remember these old days at EPIC, anybody who was anybody in skating was there on Wednesday and the energy was crazy. Gone. After Wednesday we were all at Fountain Valley (still has a lot of the old vibe), then it was Tuesday Night at Skate World. Gone, all new skaters, most into step dance. I could count 25 or more people I knew in the room, now, lucky if I see 3. Funny, you can tell most of the video footage is old because the skates are motely Black and White. So cool you guys got this on video. Good times.
