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.

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!
