J.J.'S JAM AND THE GODS OF MISCHIEF

Ever heard of Chris James, filmer extraordinaire? No? Well get use to seeing that name around because this man's talent is right up their with the scarce group of legendary VX filmers left. His new feature entitled Quality Over Quantity (click) showcases the talents of many Floridian favorites, and those soon to become. SLAP Magazine released Crewmen Jimmy Mastrocolo and James Coleman's part on their site this morning, with another James clip of Sr. Lannon. Give it a looksy and then find your credit/debit card and purchase a vid by clicking the "(click)" button above, fools! Good work Chris, you mammoth beast!



Take a xanex and wait for it to kick in before hitting the play button on this vid below. The wait is only getting more nerve racking! Colin Read finally debuted the Mandible Claw 3 teaser "Tengu" this morning as well... which unfortunately has no release date. However, he's pretty close to finishing up the filming/editing so I'm guessing very soon! I hear it is going to pretty groundbreaking!

CHAOS

This was an exclusive Skullrash edit made for the 2nd Cruizees/Speedball party at the beginning of last year. Buggica decided to share it with the rest of the world finally, and here you have it - one year later.



Oh and incase you missed out on the best party of the second half of 2011, here's another edit Buggica made from that awesome night for Speedball



F.Y.I. - Get ready for another great party at Display Art Gallery here in Gainesville, FL. coming in the VERY NEAR FUTURE! Dates to be announced

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

It's been awhile... a long while and yet another unforgiving apology comes with it. Recollecting last years Holiday post, it feels like just a few months ago Crewman Sean Conover and friends were sleighing through the streets of Gainesville filming for the "Shitty Santa" commercial. Sadly, this year we didn't have time to come up with another seasonal edit. Fortunately enough, we've reposted your still-favorite festive video brought to you by your still-favorite beer drinking, curb thrashing, headache lasting skate crew. Happy Alco-holidays everyone!

GX1000 - A GOOD FEELING

2 James' + 2 Crewmen = Foreclosure to the best edit out this month

DAMNIT AL!

Crewman Alex Davis just came out with a lengthy clip for Habitat footwear. Habitat shoes? Sounds pretty lame right? Out of all the board companies who sought out for ultimate supremacy in the skateboard world - we can all agree all have failed. Element, World Industries, Zoo York? What's common among that bunch is neither are a core skateboard company who do what they do strictly for skateboarders. When has Habitat let you down? I wouldn't put it past them that their shoes are as good as their boards. Get a pair and see for yourself. Keep the core skateboard companies alive!

GX1000 GOES HOLLYWOOD

It's like each one is better than the last - Ryan Garshell is the man at filming. Glad Crewmen Matt Militano and Jereme Knibbs got in this one.

OPEN YOUR MIND

Open skateboards is a new skateboard company based out of the northeast. Incidentally, their entire company is clustered with Mandible Claw affiliates and Cruizees Crewmen (no need to name them since all are featured in the video). Without even a second guess, we're sure who filmed and edited it is no surprise to you. Of course we feel it's one of the most sickest and innovative edits made, which could only help ramify this new born sect worldwide. We support Open!

ONE HUNDRED WATTS

Stephen Buggica, co-owner of this here company, has been up to some good skate-related videography projects. One of which he's recently introduced the first teaser of, a new series/blog entitled 100wtz. Coincidentally enough, this teaser features three Crewmen: Yonis Molina, Jimmy Mastrocolo, and Jereme Knibbs. Enthused to see the edits coming soon, they'll be set here as well.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL

Crewman Kevrick Evans got a pretty suave clip in this new GX1000. 

SICKENING 'STACHE

Ant Verdi is one hell of a guy, with one hell of a mustache, rockin' the hell out of some Cruizees Garments in this edit made by Soft Hoagie Rolls. He's a good Crewboy and fantastic skater with a whole lot of ambition. He's working on a new line of pocket tees and other weirdo things called Ant Holes (you know cause his name's Ant and a pocket on a tee shirt's like a hole... Ant Hole...?!) The name will probably change about 8 more times before he gets everything going so don't be surprised if it's different. Anyways it's going to be pretty pristine, I'll tell you that much. Ant's a great dude, can kill beer (no matter how shitty it is) and we're glad he's a part of the crew. We'll support you no matter how many times you want to change the line of your product or the name of it, Ant!


Filmed by Bryan Reynolds and Jack Turner

PAST TO PRESENT

Its funny when I think back skating with Colin for the first time and filming with his little HD handcam just messin' around. And to realize he always had time to skate/film all while in the process of becoming valedictorian of his class at UF. How? Now he's a Professor at NYU and works for Tony Fucking Hawk at Ride Channel. I still don't get it, but he somehow has time for all that and then some. This is easily my favorite MCVX he's made, mainly cause these Crewdudes and associates are murdering this edit: Piro Sierra, Dylan Perry, Dante Debose, Kevrick Evans, Ryan Barlow, and Spike Lamy. 

THE DUDES

...And BOOM! Just when you thought there was nothing going on with the Crewmen they hit you all at once - of course with the dopest edits of the month. First video features all Florida boi's Piro Sierra, Jimmy Mastrocolo, Jereme Knibbs and associate Paul Sakoff for Paradise Wheel Co. And as everyone knows by now, all GX1000 edits get posted which happens to be the second video. By God I'll just keep my mouth shut about what I think of Ryan G's filming, editing, and choice of skaters... you've all heard enough ranting about them from here. I think everytime James Coleman lands a trick a drive by happens, he's the gnarliest gangster ripper. It's impossible to watch either of these only once.

I'M SORRY

For those of you who check Cruizees regularly, you know lately I've been slackin' more and more.... and more. Honestly, it's a mix of things. Due to foreseen lack of interest in my excuses, I'll just blame it on the fact that not many siked-me-up videos have came out recently enough to make a post. But anyways, forgetting about my deficiency and onlooking something actually pertaining to skateboarding - Van Wastell is one you can never forget. His style, innovation, board control etc. are those no one can impersonate. If for some reason you've never watched too much of him I'll start off by saying you're blowing it, and that this video will explain everything. This has been one of my favorite edits of Van for a number of years, which was actually a part of the Podcast contest edit Krooked had a few years back of Van's raw footage. I'm not sure if this is the video that won, but it's incredible either way. Whether it's the generation now or those to come way on down the line, Van will always be known as a legend in skateboarding. Remember the greats!

ANOTHER MCVX

Once again I bring to you yet another video that is not ours. Out of all the Mandible Claw edits posted on here, we mine as well change our name to Mandible Claw's Fan Base Club. We need to get rollin' with some more stuff. At least these edits always have a mess of Crewman and affiliates in them: Matt Militano, Rene Perez, Alex Fogt, Ryan Barlow, Spike Lamy, and Carlos Jaramillo. Enjoy our not edit.

 

PLUMB LINES

I guess you could say Cruizees is a lesser version of the Tiltmode Army, in a sense... IN A SENSE. I mention that because unanimously, they are THE funnest squad in skateboarding via archives. Even so, their videos are always jammed with amazing skateboarding, which together gives a perfect balance of hilarity and hype; neither too over the top. This edit, however, outweighs their quirkiness and levels in on the insanity of Jon Nguyen. In a nutshell, Tiltmode Army are the best representation of what skateboarding is all about, period.

LOVE HURTS

Not to include the amount of times Colin has been hit off camera - the number of face punches documented is starting to add up rapidly. I think it's becoming a ritual for him. Poor Professor. Even a broken nose didn't stop him from making this new MCVX that's loaded with Crewmen and Floridian wheelieboarders Kevrick Evans (likes throwing elbows), Matt Militano (not a Florida boy), Dante Debose (aka Dirty Rotten Scrounger), and Matt Town (new affiliate of the Injured Travellers Group). Heal up my boyo.

EAST INFECTION

Wow! Ryan G is truly a G at filming. The colors, the swervin' in and out, hopping up and down curbs with the ability to keep up with skaters down hills and through the gnarliest cracks (i.e. Billy Roper's line through the trolly tracks)... DAMN! Speaking of G's, you can't find someone more G at skating than Crewman James Coleman - style king! Not to mention, the sufficient amount of Floridian shredders reppin' the East in these GX1000 edits would also explain why I couldn't enjoy these clips any more.

MY PEOPLE KILL YOUR PEOPLE

You can't get anymore east coast than 5BORO, one of the few teams left that is 100% raw skateboarding. This video shows just that from start to finish. There are a few fellow Florida rippers in there as well!

LATENIGHT LOUNGER #2

Despite the horrible weather, countless times getting Stephen Buggica's camera fixed, Josh Bowser's multiple ankle sprains, and long nights of skating - the second of our Latenight Lounger series is finished. And according to the guest clip, Jimmy Mastrocolo will be starring in the 3rd Lounger coming (hopefully) soon!
