What Al Can I Say???

2009-03-06T21:51:00.000-08:00

Well, to be very honest... I've been slacking and screwing up lately. I haven't done jack in the past couple weeks, but blow it. I have no new news, pics, drama, info....NADA!!! I hate this shit!! I promise to get on the ball and do something, until then check the links, because they are not slacking homies.

Except I found this sweet supporter of Knock on this site...

-Emmanuel

Busy and Random

2009-02-09T22:31:00.000-08:00

So I've been working tons at this place, watched the weirdest promo here, I watched Cody,

I heard my brother will have some B.G.P.s in this one....

And of course this is how I waste my time.....

No worries, sunshine will be here soon and skateboarding will be happening more often, don't forget to check the links.

Friday & Saturday

2009-02-01T08:37:00.000-08:00

First, I wanna say that Zach Gibson did in fact go on the Orlando trip and for some reason I did not put him on the group picture, but no hard feelings, because he still loves me.

I drove down to the Chatt to visit Mark Stewart (name drop) on his last days in TN, so as I arrived I peeped the Tennskate edit he is working on, so be ready fo Chattanooga. Afterwards we went to check out The Features. Sick show.

All I will say it's not Mark's first day on the film mission....

As you can see making things proper, watch and learn.

The homies came out to chill....Ryan, Bruiser, Jim, and Jay.

Ryan dropped his board and picked up the leash....

And Scoggins....Killin It! As always....
The trip was real chill and not too cold and always seeing the homies keepin real in the Chatt is always a good trip. Keep posted.I'm gonna be visiting Rj Hess (name drop #2) soon in Ashville to get stuff done.

-Emmanuel

It took awhile, since I could update this blog again!

2009-01-25T23:57:00.000-08:00

Well, the van was packed to the max with nasty kids, bags, boards, lights, ciggs, and food. The trip was looooooong with multiple stops and so much food. We skated and filmed as much as we could. We took a break one night from skating and went over to Zach's friends little get together and ended up hitting the punch too much. Ended that night up with a long drive to Jeff House's house.....and woke up to the lake not a beach! So pretty much that is a very concise version of the trip and very badly written out, but the slideshow shows our skating, stupidity, pissing in bottles, and the song resembles our soundtrack, enjoy.

UFOs are real.

I'm too busy cuz I......

The clips are coming along great and pretty quick.

Katie starting editing this (no joke) and I just ended up finishing it up. All these clips are stuff we didn't use in the video either because of the tricks or my bad filming...you decide.

As you all may or may not know, Mars has been evacuated and we have gone our separate ways. Lately I've been busy with school and work, but yet manage to escape to have days to catch up with a lil bit of filming. The Tennskate montages are still in the works and are looking REAL good so sit tight. Knock On Wood has a new shirt and deck in the works so check the site for updates www.knockonwoodskateboards.com

Check out Ryan's gnarly tattoo....

Misha and Hartman playing as usual....

Sorry Ramon from Emmanuel Perez on Vimeo.
We have all started a great thing called, "school", and it has abducted our brains into taking too much time into it. Sorry, for such a slack of input to Mar's... but I am here with an update: tennskate.com is back up, but still with much work needed, as some may already know or not know at all...we have been taken from our video cameras and just freshly back with new computers and hopefully cameras soon, give it all time that we shall b normal again. Pretty dramatic and sarcastic huh? or gay call it what you wish, anyways Knock On Wood has more boards in stock and with a couple new graphics on the works....today I post this clip that I found and I think it's funny so i share it. Be on the look out for re-edits, old footy edits, and of course new edits, and one last thing...Thanks for visiting Mar's.

Down in the south it's easy making friends....especially if you're Jason or Rj
Cameron Dell showing us a little bit of what he can do with a skateboard
We were rolling pretty deep in the streets
I bought some beers to keep us busy since we didn't have to spend money on a hotel
As the night goes on.......
Ryan and Mickey give us their best faces
And last was a late night sesh with Echols and a late night drive back home, Atlanta in July. As of the moment me and Rj are sitting in San Diego working on this and talking about Tennskate.com, that's right it's back! Keep check Rj will be putting up a San Diego update.

And upon our visit there Drew got a Skate and Destroy tattoo by Jessie. -Emmanuel
