LA COUNTY - 2000
« on: December 14, 2019, 06:04:05 AM »


To anyone who knows more about this video, please school me.
I wish I had more info on the background of this video.
I googled "Fernando Garcia 2000 LA County Skateboard video" and might as well have typed in "music"

This is something special from 90s-2000s when random ass dudes decided to just put out videos of whatever footage they could get their hands on.
This video looks to be the trickle-down effect of Deca homies. Everyone with 'parts' is riding Deca. I say 'parts' cuz there is so much friend footage that the sections all just look like giant friends sections from dudes like Jason Dill, AVE, Chico, Stevie, JB Gillet, Kareem Campbell, CROB, Lenny Kirk, Steven Cales, Daewon, Whoever Cameron Postforoosh is, Gabriel Martinez, SAD, Lee Smith, Mike York, and even a trick with Justin Pierce.

They skate a shitload of the old venice pit/hubba, probably one of the coolest dead spots to me. And to that: a lot of shit in this video is dead.
I think about what these dudes are doing now and how this was the most important thing to them during that time when skateboarding had all of the negative stigma and 0% promises of financial gain.


Fabian Alomar looks like this and has tricks

It's completely unacceptable to me this all was made basically 20+ years ago. I'm dying at the speed of light.
I saw this video as a young child; it wasn't as impactful until I buried it in the sand and waited 20 years.

What’s SAD’s real name?

it must be crazy when chico sells you something and the tables switch from "give me my money chico" to "giving my money to chico"
