To Answer A Few Emails…

Posted by Clint Critical

I had some spare time today so, I thought I would address some emails we have been getting about season 2 of the Fantasy Factory. Yes, a good friend of ours (Blurry) was on the show and yes, he did wear the HA Critical “Dodger” Interlock tee on a few episodes. Man Horse was a pretty good episode so, I posted it below in case some of you haven’t seen it.

So we’ve updated our online shop and restocked the Interlock tee and a few more newer items. Go cop ‘em while they’re still in available.

Nicholl Park

Posted by Rob Critical

And now… The second installment from our Critical Weekend. We continued our efforts to Nicholl Park in Richmond.

Which led to grubbing on some pizza at the nearest Round Table…

Which led a few of us to drive to the City and catch the Emerica Stay Gold premiere…

Stay Gold was an incredible video, by the way.

Under The Bridge

Posted by Rob Critical

Actually, under the freeway, is what I should have mentioned. Under the Bridge is just more identifiable. With the help from JR “NoCB” Marasigan (aka my Cousin Jay), we got down with some filming and photography this past weekend with the team. This is just a gallery of what went down at the first spot we hit up, the freeway park in the Oakland/Emeryville border. #CheersToACriticalWeekend.

Music Monday: The Nostalgic Edition

Posted by Rob Critical

Something from my previous years that I’d like to share for today’s M/M. Around the time where I knew skateboarding was more than just a hobby with some neighborhood kids.

Back in the day, Clint and I were in another skate crew, known as SWS. As anyone would, we wanted to make a skate video. Just months after Clint and I started skating with each other, the Pharcyde’s Labcabincalifornia had released. I love the album. Still one of my favorite albums today.

I played Clint, along side our close friends Cesar and John, one particular song. It was a smooth and very nostalgic song. Track number thirteen. A Moment In Time. I basically told them that this should be the main track and title in our skate video. They were all down for it.

We did heavy filming from 1995 to 2001. A lot of obstacles to make the video. A lot of them. But the title always stayed the same and the Pharcyde song was always the title track.

If you’re wondering about the video… It did get produced. Years after we fell off from filming. I had a premiere on my 23rd birthday actually. Unfortunately, my master copy got damaged when I moved to L.A. There are a few dubs floating around though.

Anyways, throughout the years “A Moment in Time” has stayed an anthem amongst the playlist of my years. Reminds me of many scenes in my memory reel.

Here goes a stream of “A Moment in Time”…

Enjoy the rest of the week!
