Guy Mariano

you know I've watched this clip maybe 20 times. It just doesn't get old.

The story is that Guy had just gotten himself cleaned up, and wasn't even supposed to be in the
video. The first section in the warehouse is the first time the guy skated in like 3 or 4 months.
Then they were like, dude, you're too rad to not be in the video.

Not sure if that's true or not. But the Dude is totally sick.




I'm signed up for French Creek this weekend. I have a couple of modest goals.
First and foremost is to race the entire race. It's been a few years since I've been able to do that.

I'm pretty excited. I like racing at French Creek.

FC is going to be hard.

There won't be anything comfortable about the entire day. Show up. Survive it and go home happy.

The course has been described to me as riding around and finding every freaking hill you could possibly climb, then do it again.

the skating is sick, but any soundtrack with Morphine gets an absolute "A+" in my book...

Guy is the absolute shit. I almost cried watching that the first time. The best part is a bunch of those Girl guys have gotten into riding road bikes around the hills of LA. Reda has already lost like 50 lbs and theres was a picture on Crailtap with Rudy Johnson and Guy standing with there bikes. I love as of late there has been more and more collisions of skateboarding and cycling.
