World famous tattoo artist Kat Von D did some Tweeting about our very own Mike “Rooftop” Escamilla today. Word on the streets is that Mike is going to be getting some serious air time on the upcoming season of her show LA Ink. He actually told me more about this a couple months ago but I forgot the details. Check out another Tweet regarding Rooftop here.
Despite all this, I still think that this is far and away the best Tweet of the day:
Least Most were nice enough to upload a couple sections from the 1996 classic “BMX Men”. Above is Rooftop’s part, and if you go here you can check out a classic Dave Osato section.
Also I think this may include the first ever crooked grind down stairs, if I’m not mistaken.
I actually spotted this on Twitter while getting tattooed today and I thought to myself, “Damn, Rooftop’s gone off the deep end.” But when I got home, I was let down:
A bunch of random footage of Chris Doyle, Jason Enns, Biz, Matty Long, Heath Pinter, Rooftop and more all riding with Chris Long while he was out in Cali.
Brian Kachinsky, Rooftop, Tobias Wicke, Senad Grosic, and Ruben Torres shred Parque Extremo in Guadalajara, Mexico. There’s a Catfish clip in there too, which is always a treat. Is it just me, or does some of this footage look sped up? Who knows. Anyway, nollie to hanger tooth is a crazy trick. Via Vital, by Glen PP Milligan.
I’ve been sold out of this shirt in mediums and larges pretty much since it came out. But I got a bunch back in stock, so hit up the web store if you’re interested (and you should be). Enjoy.
