Mainstream Media Mind Control - Duration: 10:37.
Mainstream Media Mind Control
People have blindly trusted the mainstream media, not knowing
their hidden agenda. Only recently people have started to
question the validity of the news they hear on television and
read online. But, the masses are still blinded by the mainstream
that they refuse to acknowledge anything but what is fed to
them. Mainstream news sources are those that are typically on
television and online, that are extremely popular and endorsed
by certainly political parties and also promote that political
party. They are often all around us, as the trusted news source.
What purpose does the mainstream media have? Most think it's
accurate reporting of news, politics, and science, backed by
fact checking to ensure a proper representation of the economy,
politics, science, mental health, and diseases. In fact,
many online fact checking services available today are in
collusion with these very news organizations that promote the
same agenda to spread lies to the masses. So what purpose does
the news media actually possess? Why would they fabricate stories
and lie to the public? Why aren't they caught and held
accountable? The answers go much deeper than it seems. Their
purpose is to segregate, incite violence and propagate extreme
activist movements, and promote an agenda of hatred. They work
in collusion with certain political parties, medical
science, and other government entities to promote their agenda
of half-truths, essentially brainwashing people into
believing that only one side exists and hide the other side.
They instill cognitive dissonance and
confirmation bias into their audience to lock
rigid thinking into place. One reason they do
this is for ratings. By creating clickbait headlines that have no
basis in reality, they create a false narrative to get people
riled up, wanting to take action and protest. Much of what they
report is either entirely fabricated or half-truths. They
may take a legitimate story, put a spin on it to fit their
narrative to give their readers what they desire, hate filled
propaganda that connects two or more points that aren't even
remotely related. A fraction of what they report is the truth,
mostly because their own bias and hatred towards a political
party, the president, or groups of people interferes with
accurate reporting. The mainstream media is actually
nothing more than puppets, controlled by organizations with
much more power. They want to control the very reality we
experience, so no other views can be expressed. They are setup
to hide alternative views from the public, often the truth
behind what they are lying about and covering up. It's mind
control without consent. They put subliminal messages into
their programming that only the trained eye can spot. Can you
spot them? Sex sells, so do you see sex imagery in the news and
advertisements? What about two or more seemingly unrelated
words strategically placed on screen or in an advertisement?
What about text that you cannot see that scrolls at the bottom
of the screen, or appears in the background? What about the
things your mind hears when you are distracted on your phone?
That too can be accepted by your mind without any conscious
thought. Can you see what your mind is accepting without your
consent? The vast majority cannot, and have become zombies
that spout off the mainstream agenda. Another reason for the
mainstream media is to profit off you, the viewer. Many news
stations also pay to have their television station and website
promoted and endorsed in popular locations and other popular
sites, further increasing viewership to indoctrinate the
masses into the brainwashed cult of lies and propaganda. They
advertise to be publicly shown everywhere since they know the
psychology of the human mind, that the more you see something,
the more you'll think of it, watch their news show, go to
their website, and share their content. They may then endorse
products that they receive commission on to create a bubble
around the viewer so they only purchase and trust the news
network. Did you know that in the United States,
direct-to-consumer advertising of pharmaceutical drugs are
permitted? This is banned everywhere in the world beside
the United States and a very few other countries. This allows
pharmaceutical manufacturers to advertise directly to you, the
sick consumers, medication that will help your depression that
is being caused by the very news station you are watching or
reading. They cause you to feel upset, isolated and alone by
giving you something to worry about, that is often played up.
Then in the sidebar of the website is a remedy for what you
are feeling, an antidepressant. It doesn't end there, the news
media is also paid huge amounts of money by pharmaceutical
companies to advertise their products not only as
commercials, but also to promote them in various news segments
and articles. They tend to have a representative of the
manufacturer who produces the drug, or someone from the CDC to
promote the drug to sell more of them to the already brainwashed
consumer that is suffering. We see this heavily with
antidepressants and cancer drugs. And, we also see in-depth
coverage of the flu vaccine combined with scare tactics and
falsified statistics of flu deaths to further promote the
ineffective medication. Yet, the news media is silent when it
comes to actual side effects, complications, or deaths that
come when taking any of these drugs, which far exceeds the
number of people it helps. None of these drugs resolve the
problem it is intended to, but rather cause the very thing they
are meant to prevent, or much worse, death of the individual
or individuals around the one taking the medication. They even
go so far as to censor opposing views so the truth doesn't get
out. As well as falsifying and misrepresenting the opposing
party as mentally unstable, insane, and/or a threat and
enemy to the people and country. They will often find the most
ridiculous thing to represent someone, often from years ago,
which doesn't currently reflect the individual or organization
presently. It's like taking the worst piece of work to represent
the entire community as opposed to the truthful and accurate
things the company has done. They focus on the small
percentage of failure to represent an individual or
organization as opposed to the larger picture of success the
person or organization has accomplished. This ultimately
comes down to the bias of the writer, and their own negativity
and hatred they have towards themselves, only being able to
see failure in others. This false representation of the
individual and organization is to keep the brainwashed viewer
or reader in the trance of hating the opposition. So what
can you do then to snap out of the trance the mainstream media
has put on you. As difficult as it may seem, the real way is to
question everything. The spell the mainstream media has on
the vast majority limits free thinking and questioning, so by
limiting your exposure to their propaganda and questioning,
you'll be able to research and look at alternative perspectives
on the same issue. Almost all of the mainstream media is one
sided. They are biased. They don't express unique
perspectives or alternative views. But rather, all the same.
And thus, the more you see of them projecting this false
information, the more you'll accept it unless you question
and look at alternative news sources that are independent and
not affiliated with any government entity. They don't
want you to look at the other side. But when you do, it'll be
difficult believing that all this time you've been lied to.
The state of cognitive dissonance may deter you from
looking further, but keep looking and seeking out the
truth. Only you can determine what is your reality. The news
media you consume shouldn't have any control over you.

What is Soil pH? | Lawn Care Maintenance Tips | DoMyOwn.com - Duration: 8:48.
Seriously, who needs crossfit, when you have yard work to do?
So about a week ago, temps were pretty high, it was feeling like spring.
Things were blooming and now we're back into the highs of 50s and lows are in the 30s,
the wind is blowing, and it's chilly.
I'm so ready for Spring to get here.
And as for that little bush, it was just time to make a change and get rid of it.
So...
I gave it the axe.
So...
I got into a really good conversation with one of our Customer Service staff members
about one of the videos in the series that she watched, "How to get rid of moss" and
yeah as you know I've got a ton of moss on this side with the Bradford Pears and some
in the backyard.
And I have worked really hard to try to get it out of the yard... but it feels like an
uphill battle.
If you haven't watched that video, I'll link that in the description below or you can click
that little i icon at the top of the screen.
It'll take you over to that video and you can watch it where I go more in detail on
how to get rid of moss in the yard.
This Customer Service staff member got a phone call from a customer wanting to know how to
get rid of moss in the yard and she was trying to explain to them that there's probably some
other underlying issues that they have, and they need to figure out what those are.
And so our conversation kinda sparked this idea where we should kinda do a series within
the Lawn Care series where we talk about some of the lawn basics and one of the very first
subjects that we talked about was understanding soil pH which is what is contributing to my
moss problem back here.
So let's dive into that subject: what is soil pH and how do you understand it and how it
contributes to success in your yard.
So to kick this off, let's talk about pH.
It's a measurement of the power of hydrogen ions and is measured on a scale of 0 to 14.
0 being extremely acidic or pure hydrochloric acid and 14 being extremely alkaline or pure
sodium hydroxide.
And 7 being smack dab in the middle being neutral.
Both of these extremes, either 0 or 14, are not good for plants or turf, which usually
prefer somewhere between a 6 and 7.
The main elements that effect pH in the soil are Calcium, Magnesium, and Potassium and
these elements by themselves tend to keep the pH more on the alkaline side.
And so soil pH is the ability of the soil to keep these elements hanging around.
Sandy soil tends to have a lower pH because of how fast water can move through it compared
to clay type soils, like what we have here in Georgia.
Most fertilizers that are on the market tend to lower pH within the soil.
So if you are trying to lower your pH, standard fertilizing practices using an acidic fertilizer
such as Ammonium Sulfate will do the trip.
If pH gets too low, however, or gets more acidic, you're gonna have to go through and
do a lime application.
And if you'll remember, I did this on this side with the Bradford Pears in the backyard.
I'll link that video in the description below and also that little i icon on the top of
the screen.
The amount of lime that you're gonna need to change the pH is gonna vary depending on
what kind of soil that you have.
Sandy soils it's a little bit easier to change the pH there because there's not as much binding
sites within the soil that you have to change.
And let me make this plug right here: Don't guess at this.
Don't guess where your pH level.
Don't guess how much lime that you need in the yard.
We recommend you perform a soil test and take that to your local extension office.
Their whole purpose is to do extensive research on this topic, so they're gonna know best.
So after testing your soil, they're gonna be able to tell you where your pH levels are
at, tell you how much lime that you might need in the yard, or give you great recommendations
on what kind of fertilizers to amend your soil so that your turf can thrive.
So now let's dive in some of the problems that you're gonna be faced with if you soil
pH is one of the two extremes: either really acidic or really alkaline.
Generally speaking, if your soil pH is really high, you're gonna be faced with some bacteria
problems.
And if your soil pH is really low, you'll be faced with some fungus problems.
So it's no surprise that if your soil pH is between that 6 and 7, you're really not gonna
have any problems on your hands.
So let's get into the specifics of acidic vs. alkaline.
So first up, acidic soils.
Acidic soils are gonna have a pH between 0 and 7 on the pH scale, and these type of soils
are going to be found in areas with lots of rain.
When you have lots of rain, that rain water is going to leach a lot of those elements
the turf needs to survive, like Calcium, Sodium, Magnesium, and Potassium out of the soil.
And when that happens, that gives way for more toxic elements to move that plants and
turf just simply do not prefer.
For example, these types of soils tend to be really high in Iron and Aluminum oxides.
One major problem with acidic soils is microbial activity tends to drop off, which can lower
Nitrogen concentration.
That's not good because Nitrogen is a key plant nutrient.
Organic matter decomposition by soil organisms tends to slow down.
And Calcium, Magnesium, and Potassium deficiencies tend to develop in these kind of soils.
And the other major problems with acidic soil is that it impacts fertility, biological activity,
and plant productivity.
So now let's talk about if your soil is too alkaline or between a 7 and 14 on the pH scale.
This might be due to over-liming in acidic soil or irrigating with a water that has a
high alkaline content.
These type of soils are pretty typical in the Western part of the United States where
it's arid and dry.
One of the biggest problems caused by alkaline soil is Iron Chlorosis mainly in trees and
shrubs.
And what that is, is yellowing of plant leaves due to an iron deficiency within the soil.
And the amount of Phosphate, which is great for root development, tends to be in low supply
in soils that are pretty high on the alkaline side.
One thing that's really gonna help these soil issues is to have a diversity of soil microbes.
This subject might get it's own video later on in the series, but in a nutshell, if you
make your soil friendlier to good microbes, it's gonna help kick the bad ones out.
And if you kick the bad ones out and put the good ones in, it's gonna create a healthier
environment for your turf, your plants, and your trees; and all will be right in the world.
So going back to my moss problem on this side.
I've manually raked it out...
I've used a power rake...
I've aerated twice.. and put down an application of lime.
I've done everything I know to do, which brings up two very good points.
One: It takes time and a lot of product to change the pH value by one point.
And two, I've got bigger issues that I'm tackling back here.
I've already pointed out that all the trees in the jungle back here really shade this
part of the yard and the yard slopes, like this, all the water drains into the middle
and it doesn't really go anywhere, it just kinda drains there and collects and doesn't
get out of the yard.
So I've got a water buildup collection that's attributing to the moss problem.
So what I'm trying to get at here is there's not one solution to the problem.
It might take a few different solutions to fix the issues that you're having in the yard.
And soil pH, getting that under control and where it needs to be for the turf to thrive,
is part of it.
So that my friends, is soil pH in a nutshell.
I hope it helped you out.
So hopefully when you go to do a soil test and you send it in to your local extension
office and they give you a piece of paper back talking about too acidic or two alkaline
-- You've got these numbers on there.
You can kinda understand what they're talking about.
So question back to all of you: What do you think of us going through a touching on some
of these Lawn Basics?
Sound off in the comments below.
Like I said, I hope this helped you out.

WHATS UP ABDIEL COLBERG ? SKATE TALK EPISODE #17 - Duration: 1:33:31.
Ola Youtube my name is Ricardo lino and I'm a wheel addict today I'm gonna be talking
again with a youth in this time I'm gonna be talking with someone living in
New York but someone that moved to New York only a few months ago he used to
skate in San Juan Puerto Rico so you might know right now I'm talking about
it used to be a pro for USD and a few more Brandi used to live in South
Carolina so I'm talking about a Blanco today I'm not gonna be using Skype
because I'm having some technical problems so I'm gonna be calling up taco
burger right now let's do this hey he's doing a deal I'm doing great how about
you I'm good you still get that Spanish accent I thought now living in New York
you'd be like a fool American oh no man the Spanish is is still full and running
it's as as much as much as I try it stays there why do you even try to need
to mend just it's you but I guess no that yeah that's true that's true
I guess I understand what you mean it's the same with me man I just I moved to
South Africa three years ago but my my English it's still rusty yeah we keep
trying yes definitely definitely yeah I'll try my best sometimes the words you
know they're they're hard to put it in English but I'll try my best
yeah I totally relate to that you know and like sometimes I don't know about
you sometimes I feel like people look at you and they feel that what is this guy
even saying because you're trying to translate word to word to Spanish or for
me to Portuguese and sometimes it doesn't make sense in English but anyway
we're trying anyway so II I sorry if I interrupt you anytime in this
conversation I'm sorry and to everyone listening to
I'm gonna try my best sometimes I just can't so that's great do it as much as
you what I'll try not to so I'm gonna start with a really really basic
question but what did got you into skating how did you got it is skating
Wow well that was in 1993 1993 1994 in in Puerto Rico there was a huge inline
skating boom you know and and and you know rollerblade started you know they
got there into the island and and it was the the the new best thing everybody was
was you know buying skates and uh Olsen Wan would fill with people skating
you know inline skating so I was I was only 11 years old so like any any
youngster you know you wanted to try it out and and I started my my my mama and
dad pair of skates and and I started from there I had a close group of
friends who also had inline skates and we just meet every weekend to go skate
where I lived in the in the building complex and sometimes we'll go to Olsen
1 and skate over there and the thing is that uh you know we we liked it so much
we kept we continued after after the whole boom went down and people you know
kept going with their life doing other things we just kept skating you know it
was my first love pretty much you so I couldn't stop and and and it was a you
know we were the close friends later on you'll see in in in hoax 3 you know Juan
Carlos Jose Cuervo Alejandro Christian you know the whole
Puerto Rican group we all started skating the same but about in the same
time that's cool you guys old used to live in the same area or I was it and
that was my next question to which is did the oak tree section like when that
was filmed were you guys kidding already for a long time or that was kind of like
in the beginning for you guys uh we we already were skating about what like
yeah a few a few years already we that was uh yeah we were three four years of
skating already and uh and we just sent we had a friend in the south part of the
island where he you know was the one who liked to film and then he did like a
little edit and send it to Evan Stone in California and that's when he found out
that we were you know the Puerto Rico had a group of skaters and he liked the
session so much that he came to Puerto Rico to film us and and that's that's
that that's how it all started thanks to that little video that we just randomly
sent you know you didn't even call or nothing you sent it to them and and then
he reached out to us and and that's where hoaxes three in Puerto Rico you
know it started appearing in the scene I remember that and I remember watching I
think it was an inline magazine I don't remember if it was in line magazine or
box magazine there was a whole report about it and I remember seeing some
stuff from Puerto Rico and I think it was rolled in Rivera yeah writing that
he'd learned unity zone I think it was unities he learned with one of you guys
yeah Rowley Rowling sent and and and Dave College
was the ones that went to Puerto Rico in that trip and and yeah and then I would
say like I was I was in one of those photos in the magazine I think if I'm
not mistaken I think like I was the one who learned unity through Rawlinson
Rivera probably there was it or you learned to
something like that I remember it was something like something about it one of
you and I remember it he used to call you up daily - were you younger than the
whole crew or you just shorter yeah I'm the youngest of the whole crew pretty
much like Christian Rodriguez he 7 years older than me and Jose horrible the same
and everybody was 3 at least 3 years older than me okay so now yeah I'm gonna
ask you a little bit about the rest of the crew Jose Cuervo what's what's up it
was a Cuervo is he still in California is it back in Puerto Rico are you still
in contact with him ah I guess he was the first skater that I ever saw being
able to do everything both ways yes Jose was he was uh you know and in back in
that time he was like he was like a machine
you know that's he was like my first skating mentor like you know he's the
oldest one he was like my older brother and he would when I was still in middle
school he would pick me up every other day at four o'clock to go skating and
and um you know III I had a the blessing of having the mom that I have that she
she will trust me with the other guys you know and and and he she would let me
go skate you know as much as I wanted it and and so but Jose he still he still
lived in California he's there he's yeah I talk to him all the time
and he you know he's there he's he mostly you know surfing is that bad to
ask if he still serves yeah he still serve he's he's right now a firefighter
LA firefighter and it working to us like in the emergency department with with
that with the fire fire department and but but um yeah he he was he was a
machine man he he he he taught us to do like he who would say that if he
couldn't do a trick both ways he wouldn't do it you know so so that was
like that was like our mentality back then in the back in Puerto Rico we
learned from him and from Christian Rodriguez like they they had a list like
you know back in the day was we were you know so passionate about skating you
know we they especially them they would do a list of all the tricks that you
know that that they could imagine and they would put it you know both ways and
the list and they were to do shake marks all the way you know and that was like
and that's how they taught us did you know like I was the youngest I learnt
from them yeah yeah so so we we tried like thanks
to them everything that I tried to do I would do it switch to you know and I
would do my best to do it both wait thanks to Jose and foreign Christian and
that they were encouraging us like no no you have to do it both ways you know I
was like a 90s mentor I remember I used to be like that in the in the late
nineties like 98 99 I remember every time that I would learn a trick I would
try to do it the other way I remember the first day I learned and that's not
even a grind the first day I learned out to fakie by Oh 540 over a jump box in
the first day I remember this might seem stupid but I learned it both ways but
the thing is I can't even go fakie up a ramp switch nowadays it's just I don't
know it's just like back then it would make sense if you learn one way you're
gonna try the other way too and that's yeah yeah and it was a challenge you
know that I think that was because you know it was back in the day I guess
there were still not too many tricks you know still you know I know now yeah I
mean but I think it all started and III I still think that is super important to
do that as well but uh it all started I think when when we saw you know
at beef and Arlo doing both ways and things like that I guess that encouraged
you know did you ask there's one thing that I still do nowadays which is like
imagine if I'm gonna be skating with someone which is starting or something
like that it's not me trying to feel or look like I'm better or anything like
that but sometimes I try to play with someone when he does one trick I try to
do it's which as a way to to be somehow more fair to the other guy but at the
same time to train not train but to get better myself at the other I don't know
I don't know if or anyone else does it but I guess I feel do it sometimes
especially in the mini ramp yeah that's good that's good Greeson Rodriguez yes
he was the master of style right Christian Christian was you know like
Jose you know he had so so much passion after Jose went to to California you
know Jose Jose after hoax 3 in hoax for Jose left to California thanks to Evan
stone and then when ii lived over there with evan and then he went to move with
brian smith and in why so you know christian then became kind of like our
our mentor in puerto rico he was the oldest one and and you know he pretty
much like make sure we you know we we were okay and we were skating and you
know he got the group going and and and um so yeah you know he he was like him
and he would like he was so I think like Christian and Juan Carlos and all those
guys who and Carlos Bojana I don't know if you remember Carlos but yeah I
remember all of them I used to be the biggest fan I always remember I don't
really remember from what video was but I remember this section weed which with
a sublime song you remember that one oh yeah I think that was a suitable
material suitable material that correct service materiality I remember
and talking about suitable materials someone was asking the other day why did
no one cut the grass yeah you know Puerto Rico is so tropical is uh it's
you know Caribbean it just rains all the time and the Sun and you know it just
it's just I guess mr. it grows so fast and I think I mean you know not too many
you know people like to be cutting black grass like every every other day so I
guess yeah it just grew so fast it was well we have we we have that those those
were like the best the best rails and parts of skate because nobody will kick
you out and you session day all day long but uh yeah person Rodriguez sorry we
were just you know the Christian Christian was you know amazing you know
he was so ahead of his time like like you know he would do he would push
himself to do things that are you know we don't even you know see on videos and
that's all I like I think held myself as well to push myself and and and learning
tricks and and don't don't you know not waiting for to see it on a video to then
do it and you know it was Christian pretty much you like encouraged us to
like you know evolve and like trying new things and all that and you know I'll be
forever grateful for for forever I don't know if you know or or some people don't
know Christian passed away a couple years I don't know that's why I'm doing
the mighty yeah yeah you know and and it will sit an accident sadly and and it
was it was you know super shocking and and you know it was one of the saddest
days of my life but yeah you know he was he was amazing
he was amazing definitely was it were you back in now maybe we need to go in
the timeline sorry I was going to ask if you were back in in Puerto Rico when he
passed away or if you were still in California but then not we should make a
timeline but maybe you can talk about it before
we go there all right
when did you decide to move to California what happened there
were you skating for any brand already I remember that you used to skate with
draw cheese skates right oh no I never skinned it for roasters uh I was I just
like to skate and and and that was that that was yeah that was the skates that I
used to you know scale at that time but you know after Jose after Jose I moved
to California since I was I was 14 years old he was he was there if his first
year I would have died you know and then I started going to California every
summer to visit Jose and and I will stayed with Jose and of course with
Brian Smith Brian Smith you know he opened his house for me every time every
summer I would stay pretty much half of the summer with him and Jose and and
that was like my summer I would go to California and and and you know skated
with Brian Smith and TJ and be loved and wrong and son and that was the crew that
I would be skating every summer imagined you know for like a youngster like
youngster for me you know having my my idols you know and suddenly I would be
there you know with them let me just interrupt you for something for those of
you listening to these that don't know enough about those times of scaling
basically you are talking about everyone zeros back then and for those of you who
also don't know Brian Smith was like one of the main guys doing videos back then
and give off so much into whatever he was doing that he is not right now a
really known photographer in Hollywood but sorry keep going with what you were
saying yeah yeah exactly so and and it was amazing you know yeah and and and so
so that's one's you know of course California and that time was like
mother line of you know if inline skating so and then when Jose I moved
there you know I I had that that window of opportunity to to to visit Jose and
again I I was blessed to have the mom that I had that she would let me go to
California you know so far away from Puerto Rico every summer because so
young but it you know because Jose Cuervo was like my my my my older
brother so she you know he she trusted him you know completely you know and
Jose Jose was you know he's he's like the most straight-up guy like full-on
focused like you know he's never you know he was he is a really refocus guy
and so super-clean no uncle no super clean yes super clean like oh his whole
life he's been like that so that's why that's why I sort of surf guarded
exactly so so that's when it started my whole dream of of you know I since I
was like 14 15 hours you know completely focused that that was what I was gonna
do but I was gonna move to California and I was gonna you know become a
professional world later that was my goal my life you know that I you made it
I had that dream to I ended up visiting California few times I never did but you
did it but you were like just the best so you know and I did have the passion
and and the Thrive to to to and ask you know to do the best and the skill I'm
sorry to interrupt but I know you had a skill without the skill it's nowadays
the times are different but you became really known in a time that skill was
the most important thing nowadays you can if you're good with social media and
all that stuff it can help a lot but back then it was killed that was way too
many competition if you wouldn't be good enough like you were you would never got
where you were but again what
you thank you I mean and it was it was it was great I mean it was fun III just
love to to realize so much it was just I mean I I mean I still do
but buddy it was like I couldn't I couldn't see myself doing anything else
so when I turn 18 I was I was I remember I was already 2 going back to that
question I was already sponsored by blood wheels
yes yeah and and and I used to my first sponsored was cement closing
mm-hmm cement clothing was a secret was the one running that company and he was
my first you know clothing company and then blood
wheels was but blood wheels was my main sponsored and Issac Oldman's with blood
wheels was the first one who flew me out of Puerto Rico to start competing and s
do you want to say what company Isaac owns right now for those of ya he's the
owner of eulogy wheels so so um and and by then by that time in blood blood
wheels was Bronson Rivera Brian Smith was the main skaters for that company
and and so that's when I started again doing the connections and then once once
I graduated from high school that summer I moved to California and
Eric shrine was also skating for it for for them and then to go back again I met
Robert Livanos and Eric shrine and them and then my a meanness and and in the
nest in Miami Florida and that's that's also how that connection
would his guys from from escazu started to and when I in of course by that time
in 2000 I was in the year 2000 already the guys at Venice in Venice Beach you
know Brian Smith and and and all those older guys were were
and some some other stuff they were not too involved in in skating no more like
you said Brian Brian was already you know evolving to what he is now today
and and that's why when I moved to California
the whole connection of me going to ESCO sue was already there so I decided to
move down to Escondido and and I met with Eric shrine and then I moved that
when I moved to California I directly move with Eric shrine that was my first
roommate and and in Torre Rex so we had an apartment with Eric and Tori and
myself and of course we lived like five minutes away from Robert and Beau
Cottington and and Louisa Mora and although California back then were you
skating for someone that would pay you back then or how did you afford to live
in California well it'll yeah it all started it all
started then when I got there then I started getting paid for then I got
sponsored by USD and then I was getting I was getting paid by USD and biology
okay and tell me so basically all the times that all of us saw you skating the
feet l v elements the the red ones you weren't getting paid or you would buy
your skates back then your watch escaped yes yeah well my my mom that's amazing
cuz I remember like back then when I'm talking about like that forest fire days
yeah that you yeah you were already the favorite skater from a lot of people
probably you have no idea about it because you were in no place but you
were already like a lot of people favorite skater so that's that's amazing
I used to love those roses I I think I think I started getting I did got a
couple pairs later on wrong Sun will hook me up with would roses the
connection yeah yes with the connections yeah but I never I never got a sponsor
by then you know I tried and I don't know why
every day yeah right I don't know why but yeah you know I did I did got help
from from Bronson specially Wow and that at that time let's go back to what you
just said did you send a sponsor tape back then or not they're not 'i'm not
easy i would love to yeah well just getting their sponsor me tapes back from
back then and just started posting those right no but I never did I never did I
think the only the only sponsor me tape ice I I don't even remember it my
sentence a person meant yeah like like the first first first you know but I
don't I don't even think that exists well that would be the best I can you
imagine if you start getting everyone's sponsor me tape let me start bonus start
posting them online that would be a whole YouTube channel with just the
sponsor me tape from everyone that would be amazing awesome it's crazy because
the you know but you know it's it's old so what now now that you know I go back
and I you know now in base skating is evolved into such an ax you know it's
just insane and an amazing technical you know back then when I when we started it
it hit only you know there was a time that I remember the only thing that X
you know that we did was just maybe front sights and then the soul came out
and we know we we went through the whole process of seeing every single trick
getting done for the first time you know and and now now that you know we had
that experience looking at what role painting is now and and what what you do
now and now in days it's just up for me see it's more mind-blowing what role
dating is now that I think Kate who started even in the year 2000 all you
know half of more than half the tricks were invented so it's not like a shock
for them like to see maybe yeah yeah 542 to top soul to this and that and
whatever you know back then that was just like not even like possible you
know I remember asked when there used to be
like pros doing interviews in magazines and stuff like that and one day they've
been asked about the the future of skating and they would be saying like
720 into a grind or a mystic flip part of a grind
those things are happening right now like at the winter clash mantra just did
a hurricane Topsail misty flip out but it's just he did it casually it's just
yeah the dream tricks or the ones that we thought would probably not be
possible in the next 100 years he's just doing them eggs yeah it's it's amazing
to be you know to to for for us to to have had the experience of starting from
literally from the beginning of everything it's it's definitely
something something amazing that we did and so yeah yeah you know it's so it all
started like that going back to to to Callie and and and when I moved and all
that you know so so yeah and when I move that year 2002 to ESCO and when there
was no proposal for you to skate for USB or anything like that no once once I got
there that's when everything started happening and really bad do you remember
the day that you got the back then was an email but I don't know about you
because there was caught the guy from from the USA did Scott spoke with you
did he got an email from mark Cody I was it no I was you know back when I was you
know already in 1999 when I when I was in the summer going to visit before I
moved I already knew a lot of people in California and you know not only in
Escondido in San Diego I would you know drive up to to to LA and to Orange
County and I already I already knew you know all the USD guys and of course the
FB guys and you know everybody so so when I got to Cali it was I already had
planned to you know not plan but like you know I was already there was already
the talk yeah - if you know aprons give me ten it was
yeah it was it was all through - through the guys the skaters and and and Skyy
yeah and that's that's when you know as soon
as I get to California and they saw that I was there for permanently then then
everything started you know happening and then I got I got I started like you
know I started like an amateur and getting skates and they will fly me to
comps and whatever but you know it at all it all went really fast you know and
it was a blessing that I had the opportunity to to become pro for them
and getting an actual monthly payment and and and be able to live in
California through rollerblading alone you know that was like something that
you you might not be able to see that nowadays you know you can but you need
to you need to be doing things differently basically nowadays yeah
living from skating just skating just going out and skating and having fans
well it's not really working that way but there's ways there's ways to live
from skating and I guess you're oh yeah yeah one of those guys right what are
you doing in New York one of the things that you're doing in New York right now
yeah yeah I'm working with a ghost Sports USA with John Ortiz and Ray
Mendez they have you know they started an amazing kids
inline skating program that are that you know we teach we teach kids to skate in
schools like an actual part of the curriculum of the school part of like
you could say like a gym class but you know just completely focus on inline
skate and and and uh but just like focusing inline skating ice hockey ice
skating everything that has to do with inline so it's amazing yeah you know
it's it's a blessing and I'm missing opportunity and and and what these guys
have done here New York John raise just it's just amazing and and I
think a lot of people I mean now now Allah you know I think worldwide is
already getting known but they've been doing it for ten years already so so
what they're doing for the future of the sport is just well I think one of the
most amazing things that you know anybody is doing right now and I know I
know they're similar things that are happening in Europe blading camp that I
know mantra goes and in France there's another one you know so so I think it's
one one one way to to make this sport alive and and you know I mean I'm I I
got lucky enough that uh that you know I was able to to come to New York and and
and help them out with with that and you know and and be part of my job everyday
job teaching kids how to ski yes possible to live from skating steel in
2018 one more we're gonna keep going to the same line that we were going but
yeah that you were saying in France are kevin can turn from from Marcel and then
there's more people there are more people all over the world doing this
type of little schools and it's cool that Ray and and John are right now
trying to integrate them all with like the project that they did with them with
Kevin like the New York and all that stuff it's cool that more and more
schools are starting to work together because if you think of school itself
not as a skate school but a lot of the kids when it comes to their summer they
try to go to other places other countries to learn the language and
imagine if you integrate that in skating so that they end up making new friends
and and that's what we used to do with competitions back then I guess whenever
you go somewhere else you meet different people and that's how you that's how he
moved to California that you just said that's how you met the guys that you
ended up moving with and that's how you ended up getting your sponsor that allow
you to live in California right so I remember I you probably don't remember
but you were skating already for you as the
it was probably a few months before you move back to before you move back to
Puerto Rico but I ended up meeting you once you were with madman's at Angie's
house it was just one day at night it was like my first day ever in in San
Diego and I remember I went to Angie's house and and you were there we'd met
but oh wow there was like probably right before you move back and my quit my next
question was what happened what deed made you move back I know that I'm doing
like a big jump from I'm not even talking about the California times maybe
we should talk a little bit about that California times you want to anything
that you want to say about those times that you were living there like living
living well I mean you know it was it like you always dreamed of it like it
was it like skating the whole time or you ended up getting way too much way
too chilled you know because sometimes you ended up going into like tomorrow
you're there and then he don't take advantage anymore
yeah it could say you could say it was like that like both of both of those
things like I mean it was it was home it was living my dream of course like it
was and I I I think I you know I I was able to do who my dream and and even
more that what I expected of me I think at that time definitely was it was an
amazing time traveling traveling the world traveling the state's able to to
to you know to skate with with like I said like like it would you know my
idols back back back then you know and and
becoming all of them becoming my my friends my really good friends you know
all the ESCO guys and the San Diego and you know it is it was it was an amazing
time being able to to to be until that time in Ana and I think mm were very
important times in the evolution of skating and the tricks and you know you
got all the the the FP house skaters you know Josh Josh
patty you know skin dust and lattimer's just some you know Dustin was dusting
was my my fucking you know I think everybody Hugh Latimer was was he was
one of those guys whose change you know skating into you know change evolved so
skating being able to skate with I mean especially living with Eric shrine and
Robert and Dominic's are gonna became my other roommate I live with Dominic like
most of the time when I was in California and and you know skating with
disc those guys constantly you know definitely will well you know will keep
your skating unlock and revolving and you know it was it was just such an
amazing time and be able to travel the world live my dream was just
mind-blowing and and then you know getting my pro skate for USD and all
that you know all those things out probably you know I knew I was gonna go
to California and live you know my rollerblading life and try to try to you
know be if you know professional with it and and and do all that but you know I I
think I I I lived through that and more so I am definitely was super happy about
it but then he got into a point that yeah it was too shit like you know I
think I guess when I going back to why I went back to Puerto Rico it's just some
different you know a lot of things a lot of how do you say that reasons a lot of
reasons why do an egg and study right yeah I won I won bag I end up studying
and and and changing my lifestyle completely too as well you know it was
you know it got to a point that that the lifestyle
and in California was just too much partying or too much you know I I think
now not after I want to Puerto Rico because after you know like I said
there's many reasons why of course I miss home and I wanted to be there for
you know I wanted to you know but family and you know a lot of different reasons
but one of the other reasons was because I really wanted to change the atmosphere
that I was in in order to change to myself and and and and evolve as well
you know so it was a really hard decision because going to Puerto Rico
meant that I wasn't going to be able to be involved
in the mainstream as I was in California so but you know and then that time in my
life it was the only way I was gonna be able to to accomplish what I was what I
thought it was gonna be my next move and my next react with that or when you
left you were not with your support with your sponsors the same way or you got
cut it what was it how did they react no not really I mean and and and that time
to skating was going you know the spot you know money and the budget the
sponsors you know skating was a little bit going down like like like
so we already was getting a little bit cuts of paychecks and money you know it
was going down a little bit so it's harder it was harder to to be able to
live only through that so that's that was another and I was you know we I was
young you I was 23 something like that so you know it it was like like I said
many reasons that I didn't know I didn't move to Puerto Rico because because
those things were happening actually in the main reason was because I you know I
felt that it was my time to go back in order to do you
know what I wanted to do and change you know my lifestyle and and a lot of
things you know for the better you know but how did you learn I guess
keep going sorry yeah but what when I you know but of course going to Puerto
Rico like I said it was gonna take myself away from the mainstream and and
be able to be there professionally for the companies so of course yeah slowly
you know I took myself down for USD I kept myself for eulogy you know with
eulogy and I still you know you feel if I bring on time feeling yeah I mean I I
will be I always be forever grateful with Isaac Goldman's and and you know
he's my boss you know like I always call him I talk to him he's my buzz forever
you know like that was my first concert and and and and I will support him until
you know whatever I it's it I let you wheels was my first real sponsor it was
my it was actually my first international sponsor if you can say it
I was I think I was never officially on any team but Isaac would always send me
wheels that was amazing and the wheels were amazing
I only yeah I only moved away from from log2 work with and their cover and back
then I was supposed to be undercover team manager which I did for like two
years that's the only reason why I left it the
wheels were amazing and they still are so yeah yeah that's that's why you know
it's it was an amazing experience amazing team you know he's great and and
of course the wheels are the best for me so so that's why I you know I never
never thought about like going skating for anything any other company other
than good for other wheel brands and stuff like that or I think yeah I think
I yeah I think I'd be you know they always had like asked me but you know no
you know it's no no way no way oh yeah yeah I was very loyal to to to all my
companies yeah and grad I was scared for ground control well
John Elliott helped me a lot like hehe he was always there to for me in
California you know I had I was lucky you know I I think that a California
treated me really good since the beginning you know since Brian Smith and
and and then with the SQL guys you know they became my brothers you know I still
talk to them you know and and and it you know they all became brothers everybody
everybody was so so you know so good that I can I can't complain you know I
had I had the best times of my life over there and and traveling skating and and
even though I went to Puerto Rico after that you know people thought that I
stopped skating I didn't you know I of course in Puerto Rico
there were still a scene in Puerto Rico I used I just wanted to be away from the
main stream and and and you know it was it was that time in my life where I
guess I kind of went into a retreat pretty much you know like I just wanted
to be away from from anything that I would judge the whole time and being the
circus clown yeah you know I used I used and it was it was a time that I there's
always a time in life that you need a spiritual retreat and like see where you
add and and and you need to refocus and and and see what you want to head you
know go you know head forward with your life and how you want to be and and and
for me the only way to do it was going back to Puerto Rico and and in a way
sadly you know stop from from that professional whatever life or you know
mainstream life but but I like like again I you know there was a big scene
in Puerto Rico going back you know there was there was a few the island we had a
you know skaters from the San Juan area from the Ponce's south area and we have
from the west and we have from the north that are and we all were connected we
all you know so it was put a regal as an amazing group of friends and skaters
like I think like everybody everywhere else so I think one of the things that
make rollerblading so amazing is that our connections and friends you know
what you know it's it's just I don't know if any other sport has it but I
think you know we get Latinos man yeah yeah it's just like connections but but
yeah like in Puerto Rico though it's a big scene yeah and of course everybody
knows Miguel Ramos yes I was my next question
when did I guess like this Miguel Miguel was there since day one - and photo Rico
man but you know he was he lived - I have hours - I like two hours away from
from where I live so when you started I was already skating or you met him when
you got now you know he was skating since day one and I know you know I
didn't talked about him before the conversations but he him and a group of
friends in that part of the island worst you know they start skating maybe a year
after we started in San Juan because everything starts in San Juan which is
the capital and then it goes yeah which is normal so so but yeah he he was there
skating since day one as well and they they were like the ones running that
part of the island and they had they had a skate park over there that now in days
that scape are evolved into that same man skate park that using videos it's
amazing yeah exactly and that's that's Miguel that's me goes baby like he him
and a group of friends and and the community over there started the skate
park that it started only with you know a lunchbox and a rail and and things
like that but it has never stopped evolving until what it is now today so
Miguel is the one that you know like he's like I would like after after
Christian and you know Miguel I think there's so many amazing group of skaters
in Puerto Rico now in days with you know Miguel I don't know if you've seen actor
tats Gonzalez and some videos and Paul Moyer there's so many amazing amazing
group of people that are that started a little bit later on
Alejandro Bayless I don't know if you that's another Alejandro which we she
started to when when back then he still skate he's just amazing you know he's
been those are all skaters that are been skating for twenty years and and they're
still there they're still skate Miguel was the one running like the
calms and and making the Cena live in Puerto Rico so I was there when I went
back so I can I continue skating in Puerto Rico not as often because yeah
like you said I started studying so I went to college you know I had had other
things that I was doing but but I continued skating and and and you know
within the same Puerto Rico but you know I stayed local so before I get to my
next question I'm just gonna send some positive vibes to me geologist made a
surgery to his back that guy's my passionate than anyone else that I know
when it comes to skating and he was having some lower back problems so yeah
yeah that's that exactly you know and I'm so happy that he finally were eight
was able to get that surgery he's been struggling for years in years with those
pain you know back back pains and and and I you know it's gonna take a maybe a
couple months of recovery but but after that it was finally gonna be able to
have the relief that he deserves yeah he's he's I think you know Miguel is one
of the most humble and lovable and you know individuals and and and yeah that
the passion that he has rotating like you said I haven't seen there's there's
a few people in the world who has that passion and he's one of them and for
four people so let me yell does basically they think
that he works in wood wood and all he does is skating all day it doesn't and
he does the maintenance of that place and that's a huge place and he works
there all day and after yep really really hard work it's pretty skates on
it no matter who's in Woodward he's gonna skate for them and if no one is
there he's gonna skate by himself and it just it's amazing and on weekends he
always drives two and a half hours three hours just to meet everyone else in LA
and it's crazy it's me girls yeah it's just the one that's that's why I'm just
saying all these love to this guy but now yes question how did you you said
your mom was like really like protecting protective but at the same time she let
you she was always like she would let you go to those Californian trips and to
go which was like were on all that how did your mom's so you're coming back to
to Puerto Rico and did they support you did they want
did were they the ones telling you always come back and study and all that
or has nothing to do with that no not really
no no my mom actually you know she's been supporting me since day one
and you know at the beginning my my my dad was was a little bit he was the one
a little bit uh concern about me go in California and just going to you know
back down you going to Cal comes to rollerblade you know like what like you
know you're going roll away you're not gonna study and the men's thing like a
man yeah you know it's funny because I I went to California and and I I tried to
go to college that's one thing nobody knows I when I went to California I try
to go to college and I started in a media program and and I lasted like 2
months you know and and it I was like not you know it's not it you know it's
just not possible like my focus was just going rollerblading and traveling and
and there was no way I was gonna you know be able to study at the same time
so but anyway yeah he was the one concerned
at the beginning of course later on when they saw what what was doing and and
everything that I accomplished and and and all that of course they at least
might my dad a part of the family were you know they understood you know that
that I had to do it but ya know not like they never encouraged me to to go back
home or to come back and study it was all a choice that I made myself and of
course they were happy that I was gonna go home and be back home after six years
away from home so so yeah they were happy and and and of course she was a
part of the process of myself changing my lifestyle and and yeah like myself
deciding going to college and and all that was it for you isn't it wasn't hard
to adapt coming from six years living by yourself and partying and I just said it
all that coming back to your parents and then just having to do like a completely
different lifestyle of course it was part of what you were expecting and
that's why he needed it it wasn't it yeah and I think that's why
that's why I made it and made it it didn't made it hard because I was
already you know like like everything I've done once I make the decision it's
because I'm sure of it so that's why it was it wasn't that hard
to go back and and you know I stayed with my mom for a few months until I
started until I enrolled college that I actually did college like an hour away
an hour and a half away from home and so I until that until then then I moved you
know I rented a place and and and I started studying and did college were
there for like three and a half three years and then I slide what did you
study I study I went like I study horticulture yeah like I want I
want to study in the country like I've learned everything that has to do with
agriculture so so I study that and then I did my I finished my degree in human
nutrition so I I did all the culture and then human nutrition and and so that was
it I studied like for five years and and
then I and then I end up being a photographer right now wish which is
crazy because that's not you know life is like that you know like I did I did I
study all that like again it was a whole change of lifestyle like like I iced I
you know I changed my whole my whole thing like I you know I was I was like I
wanted to learn how to be sustainable so I study agriculture
I wanted it to change to be to have a healthier lifestyle so I I study human
nutrition and and so it's crazy yeah and the thing is that I always have
photography right there in my life because my dad it's a film
cinematographer director producer editor that's his career he's been doing it for
more than thirty years so I grew up that with that then in California of course
we you know I was with Brian Smith I was there with him all the time then I was
with bo Carrington then I was with Eric and and and and I was with Keith Wilson
and Brian Kanaskie and jazz and all the photographers there
so I was always with them I had my camera
but I never got into and now now that I got into photography has been for a few
years that I've been like really really into photography
now now now is when I think back I'm like I had
everything you know I had I had all these amazing mentors in California that
I I would I would let you know like one thing I do regret is that I didn't like
use my time there and the freedom that I had to to get something else going
other than rollerblading yeah you know III that's but like I say I was so you
know I was young I was 21 22 years old your mind is not to focus you know
sometimes some people are more focused than other you know I didn't had my mind
yeah this is a skating probably yes you know so you know I didn't have I didn't
have the maturity maybe to to think ahead and and and and do all those
things it wasn't my time I guess you know for that but yeah now after I did
all that and I study all that I did work for a while doing or benign landscaping
I did vegetable gardens like I had my little own company back in Puerto Rico
doing that then I study as a I study as a nutritionist as well I I did I worked
in and the things that I do did study but it was more not as a profession I
think like a you know I I always have that and I still do it but it was more
because it was a whole process of more personal personal process for me to know
everything I need to know to have a healthier lifestyle a better life and
you know try I was trying to live the life that I want you know to have you
know to and and whatever so so that's what I did all that and it you know I it
was a great a great experience and I you know I I don't I don't regret doing what
I did but now nowadays I'm again you know I'm I'm teaching role
two kids and and for a few years I've been doing photography and and now is
going you know it's taking me into an amazing life that I did you know that
now I'm like photography for me now it's like like I was rollerblading back then
like I'm just so passionate about it it's like like like I just want to be
with my camera and shoot and learn and learn and learn and learn and and and
thanks to you know thanks to a ray as well that he has another other than go
sports USA he has parlor production and he has a chemical marketing yeah and he
got me he got me a connection with the school in Brooklyn and now I teach
photography in a private school as well so that's been great you know I can't
complain you know the experience that I've been having now here in New York
thanks to because I was going to ask you isn't New York one of the most expensive
cities on earth Oh horrible horrible it's it's so expensive it's ridiculous
yeah it is it is it's been hard it's been I can't tell you it's not it's been
a hard change to come to New York and live you know here in New York is super
expensive the weather is horrible yeah this for me you know winter has been has
been hard definitely it's been it's been hard to
get used to the winter and the weather and the cold and not being able to be
outside and not being able to skate you know like that's one thing that I'm like
I'm you know there's no no indoor skate parks in New York if you know you have
you have to drive maybe an hour and a half to us to a small skate park to
skates most paper or you drive three and a half hours to go to Woodward or four
hours I'm like that you know that's the only way that you'll be able to skate if
you live here on the winter it's just crazy but uh but
you know other than that you know I'm still teaching kids how to blade and and
and I'm doing photography so you know it's it's uh it's okay you know you you
you give it you know it can be perfect
yeah so a long yeah yeah a long this whole story you got two kids exactly
along this whole story I again you know I had I have two kids two sons and and
you know I got married and and yeah I've been I've been uh I've been with my wife
for ten years and and yeah my my oldest son is seven and my old my youngest
two-and-a-half that's amazing and how are they adapting to new york your wife
and your kids well she grew up here that's one of the reasons we are here
back in New York as well she loves she's she's from Colombia but
as she grew up in aniline and in New York and my kids you know they they had
that and you know I was worried a little bit with my oldest kid because you know
he's in first grade and and and he grew up in Puerto Rico speaking Spanish
although in Puerto Rico we you know we learned English in schools and we we
listen to English but you know we don't have the practice so so you know you
always I was a little worried about that for him here but he adapted and he's
already learn English so fast that he's like he's super good he's doing great in
schools so he's he's you know he had that he adapted really really fast one
one of the things the only things that he doesn't like it's just a winter and
the cold because he's he's used to yeah he's a very energetic kid he was like
he's like I would like me when I was little you know I was just our kids you
know he wants he wants to be outside all the time you just want to beat he just
want to play you know we were used to like after after school I would take him
to the park and would be two hours playing in the
park before we go home and dinner and all that and here you're in the house
all day so it's that's the only part that it's been hard for them especially
for him to like adapt of like not having not having not been able to to play more
and be outside he's he likes the outdoors so it's it's hard that's the
only thing that he he's been struggling a little bit since we got here or since
the winter started actually because we we got here in the summer it was great
but then now it's been already like four months of completely cold weather and
and right now as we speak it's a poor you know it's it's a snow storm outside
right now yeah yeah I mean summer now South Africa you know South Africa
you've been here you want to say talk about your experience in South Africa yo
Ricardo yeah South Africa I thought Africa will always have a
special part you know special place in my heart
like for me South Africa was and it's a bit like when I went to South Africa I I
had an injury that happened a few months before I went to South Africa I I
fractured my FIRREA so I was gay I was in the process of healing and but then I
I I thought I was healed and I went to talk Africa I had the opportunity to go
to South Africa and you know I say yes you know I'm feeling better I'm starting
skating again so let's go and when I got to talk Africa I we were skating and I
think an hour didn't pass an hour and I fell and I I
thought I broke my leg again so the whole time I was there I was in I was in
able to I I didn't escape I couldn't even skate because I was so
injured so pretty much the whole time what I did was film the guys I was the
one filming everybody and and but the experience that I had over there was so
great like you know we were in Johanna burg and then we went to Cape Town and
and everybody there was so so nice and and and you know they took us you know
we went tourists we we you know we we we cruise and and and like I think that was
one of the best trips of my life definitely and especially you know I
enjoy Johannesburg but Cape Town was so beautiful and so nice and and and you
know the the memories I have there are like amazing so that's that's definitely
and that was my last trip with with with related to skating to rollerblade yeah
yeah yeah it was it was I would love to go back to South at you would love it if
you ever want to come even with your family you're more than welcome here I
guess that what you just said like the way that they always welcome the skaters
it I guess it happens a lot because yes there's a lot of tourists coming to
South Africa but for skating there's not that much people coming over here so for
the local skaters whenever they have someone coming around that can skate
with them they're always super thankful for that and so like always super
respectful to everyone always try to make everyone feel really really good I
guess like you came in an era that skating was already going down a little
bit over here but from what I know it used to be huge and right now it's
somehow it's growing a little bit I would say there's like huge but it's
growing and I see more and more people on skates the other day yeah it was two
days ago I went to fill my wife with three other girls on roller skates in
the park we got there and they were yeah five kids that I never saw like really
Yankees like in between five and and eight there was five kids there just
with inline skate just skating around it was amazing I would like really really
happy like just to see kids like that which is cool it's happening but now my
question has nothing to do with skating in South Africa it has to do with an
actual state of skating but more like gear wise what what type of material
what skates do you use for the classes they use aggressive skates for
classes that you're doing or do you use any other type of case I have no idea
yeah any I mean I use both sometimes like to tell you do this funny but I
sometimes bring my aggressive skates just to fill them my feet because I
can't you know that I can't skate outside because it's snowing you know
that's so sometimes I put my aggressive skate just like feel that I have up
skating my aggressive skates but uh but usually I mean I've been using I got um
I met one day here and in New York with weather no no no no I I was using the
skates that the guys have over there and in the in the schools they use for all
the blades so sometimes I used this case there are there sometimes I use my my
right now I'm using use the Aeons and and then I have also a skates that I got
the other day uh what's it called the the oh my god this big wheels crazy that
I yeah the huge wheels I have a hundred one hundred and ten will uh oh my god
the Eagles oh yeah this is it yeah is it the power slide once no no no no no hold
on hold on deck it's crazy I can't I can't believe I forgot the name I just
want blank it's too early so I'm gonna just for those of you that listening to
these right now you don't mind of flying Eagles the finding yes they're flying
Eagles yes so I got those skates so I'm using 101 you know I put them on over
there they're just speed skates yeah so I've
been using all of them you know I sometimes I used to roll bass sometimes
I used to define angle once and I have this fly fly Inigo skates and the wheels
when you wrote they wrote a they they glow you know so the kids girl like
all pumped up and they get all excited so it's a sex fun to have them for the
kids say they enjoy me having those skates there and they get all pumped up
but um but yeah right now I'm alternating that's good that's good
do you guys are working with like mostly disadvantaged kids or there's all types
of kids all types of schools there they're all types at the schools in the
Bronx they're all public schools and you know and then we also do private schools
like most most of the private schools or after-school programs and and that's in
the city in Manhattan and so so yeah we we we work with all kinds private
schools and disadvantaged kids you know so it's goes both ways yeah
do you guys ever mix them did you guys ever try like making anything we're kids
from different schools get together you guys never do it it's just like Korean
well the the yeah the other day brave raid organized an event but it was it
was for ice skating in the city that he tried all the schools that that we
worked with to go there and meet up and have like a full day of ice skating but
uh but that day actually had a snow storm or it was it was like rain rains
rainy day and I don't know if it if it was able to to do it like how he planned
but he periodically he try to organize events like that so he can like and then
he he tells everybody and all the schools and then he gets he try to gets
everybody together to to meet up like you say like your special events
occasionally because that's I keep saying the same probably I was thinking
while you were talking when you moved to California
you had the goal to be a pro skater but then after a while you ended up
realizing that you needed something else in your life and then you ended up
moving back to to Puerto Rico I guess like sometimes
what we need in life is goals probably if once you got to California you had
other goals over there like to start a company or something else then we move
differently you know them yeah we have goals we try to achieve them and achieve
them and we try together and sometimes that's what we need to create when we
teaching kids and that's why I was asking if you guys bring kids together
if you do like this type of events because I guess I know it you work with
kids every day so yeah ya know and that's that's why that's super important
right now and and I think that's one thing that that uh you know now in days
and now that our industry is and the skaters are getting you know they're
we're older of course we have another mentality maturity and and we can you
know see our lives a little different definitely that's one thing that we need
to focus on having a good example for the kids to come you know it's important
that we as the older generation teach the younger kids that if you know
skating could be positive things and teeth and-and-and and let the parents
know that skating could bring positiveness to the kids life instead of
like negativity or you know not having like you say you know like if they see
us the teachers or the professionals having you know life and a you know a
prosperous life or you know gold and and good mentality you know is something
that could help the industry and and and more kids get more involved and enroll
blading yeah and if you like a happy person teaching that means that you love
what you do and people want to do what they they see the other ones enjoying
you know if you just like that teaching with that face
to be here today then it takes exactly exactly exactly it's all it's all what
you project and I mean we will learn by example and definitely we need to step
up and be a good example for the new generations and and I think that's what
role a role leading needs and and and that's why now I think more than ever we
have the opportunity to to uplift the industry again and and and and you know
make it make it bigger and better and and and you know I people like you like
Miguel like John Julio those are people that now that you know you can look up
to and say you know what you know you can you know it's a I want that you know
and then and thank you so much for putting me in that league that's all I
can say now definitely you know it's a it's a you guys are the ones who are
given the example the good example you know that that that we we have the
maturity to to to do this and to like you know it's something that you can
look forward well maybe maybe when you're done with skating back in the day
you didn't know if it was possible to do anything after that
coke you know but nowadays it's like alright yeah you know there's something
that that's what happens nowadays you'll never be done it's just exactly it man
I'm telling you I haven't done a marathon in 20 years last year I did my
first marathon after more than 20 20 years I don't know in Berlin I was doing
this marathon I was just like about to die seriously I was just like I don't
know if I can finish this I look to the side and there's these 80 years old guys
skating by me just like going faster like like if it's just chillin and I
just thought like no way if that guy do it I'm gonna be able to do it and I'm
gonna be able to do it at his age you know the type of things it's
I guess that's what I was saying setting goals because it's good and you just
said it like you said it your own goals probably there was a time in your life
that you stopped putting skating in in in the next step you know like when you
you felt like you need to change your lifestyle or when you said like you
wanted to be healthier and all that but back then skating is to be like all
these different disciplines that no one would ever imagine that Yin Welsh the
guy from 4x4 would right now do marathons and distance skating and
skating for days you would never imagine that a few years ago but that's the way
these things are evolving and that's amazing there's like people are starting
to see skating with I'm not saying it's growing everyday let's not lie to each
other and just say this is booming it's not but there's everything to be there
people are starting to be a little bit more open-minded even with all the eight
which will always be there I guess the most important thing is that there are
individuals that are trying to do something more than back in the day that
we used to wait for everyone else to do it for us you know yeah let me ask you
something you were talking about new generation but we were talking about
kids but talking about new generation of aggressive skating who's your favorite
skating right now oh I'm not I know that I knows your favorite skater but that's
not just new generation that's all new and future still right now it's just
it's just so hard to like I can pick five wow I mean in tough you know I know
I know I'm gonna I'm gonna you know I have so you know there's so many but you
know right now on top of my head I don't even behind it come on no one new
beautiful yeah no no I always been a fan of Brasco I know that's one out all the
new and future yeah yeah because he you know he's been going on for a while same
as Chris happy you know those guys started back then they still going and
there did you know they're amazing but um you know I gotta say you got through
I could say yeah I could say them to of course I will say Eugene Annan is it's
amazing Nick Lomax is amazing what I've seen and
I would say I love Austin Potts and his style of skating you know he's he's
amazing and and and there's there's so many of course you know John Julio who
always be my top you know since mr. moose knuckle and he still skates and
and Brandon and I mean there's so many that nowadays is just so hard to to uh
say you know to pick because there's so many amazing skaters out there that is
just it's just insane III I you know every every time and edit comes I'm just
you know I'm just say amazing everybody I could do you still feel like it
because I do man there's a new VOD oh yeah I can buy it because most of the
times you know what I try to do is like I have this thing this like PayPal thing
and on this YouTube channel so if someone donates any money therefore
these work I don't really use it for anything else other than buying DVD like
vo DS and stuff like that so whenever someone buys me like donates like five
bucks or ten bucks or whatever I end up buying all the vo DS with that money so
the other day there was this new VOD I don't know if you saw avalancha and the
other one from Alex burst and that came like a few days before I was just so
excited to see all the video so it's just yeah I haven't seen avalancha yet
you will love it it's it's I don't know if you know mark more you know if you
ever met mark yeah it's it's a certain type of skating which is it it's raw you
know I love it it's it's not that the HD sorry the experience is not that HD shit
like all film it's that skating like skateboarding
style raw like I don't know I love it the way it's film everything the music
it's more like a rock and roll thing I love it I think it's really cool but
then it has nothing to do with the Elite Series which is super HD and it's funny
to see Alex burns that film with both different cameras
because alex Martinez clips in both those videos and they're both sick both
videos is amazing with this part and it's just it's just sick to watch I
don't know I just get excited about these things awesome I can't wait to see
it as well yeah yeah I'm enjoy every every video that comes out and I enjoyed
last last last video I saw hermanos from Yvonne yeah and even though even though
it was filmed a few years ago it's just such an amazing project amazing video
it's just so the quality of it is just insane and and but yeah definitely
definitely I mean aggressive skating I think it's
it's for me it's just it's mind-blowing how yeah what we're doing and and and
especially now that we're taking the film and the cinematography into another
level putting into blading and makes it even look even even even better you know
even even more amazing so so yeah yeah definitely definitely I enjoy every
every every bit of it that comes out and it makes me feel it makes me feel again
like like back in the day you know I'm the grommet right now I'm like the
little kid you know I I completely like feel that way and I'm still like even
though I have two kids I'm 35 I'm I'm still like right now thinking and and
and of skating and and when I'm gonna you know I'm so anxious to go skating
that's why this weather is getting me crazy it's like you know what I always
say it's just like skating a lot of people say that it's in my blood but you
know I don't think it's in my blood it's it's deeper than that it's just like cuz
the blood you could suck but it's somehow in a flash because you could
suck my blood but the thing would still be there it just just wait but anyway
let me tell us you didn't knew so if you watch hermanos have you seen the book oh
yeah yeah I you so yeah I saw it okay cuz I bought yeah and that's like
for people who just saw your mother's it just downloaded DVD they need to see the
book because you know they need they need to see the book that rewarding that
yeah photography that that have Brandon Smith
and and and and Yvonne and you know it's just it's just amazing their their
photography I'm I'm like I told him I tell them all the time like their
they're like move during liberation to me yeah no they're they're part of my
inspiration you know like like them and and like many others you know Stockwell
Stockwell is just an amazing skater and now he's just an amazing photography as
well yeah so so yeah we we have usually if you're a good skater usually you
you're super creative to be a good skater and you can use your DVD out of
just skating field man most of the like if you think about like this what's his
name Tyler Shields remember Tyler Shields oh of course he is million
followers men on Instagram and stuff he's huge he's huge same as Brian it's
just something that I I mean you know skating and and and sports that we do
yeah they're sports and they're but it's it's an art you know Christian Christian
always used to tell me that role things like martial arts you know it's a way of
expression but at the same time it's it's still a type of art and and I think
like you said we have that in us and and that creativity could be expressed in in
so many ways and and of course yeah for us photography and cinematography is one
way of expressing it because it's connected as well for you know you know
it's connected because you know we've been filming us and and you know
photographing that's part of the whole thing but uh but this definitely it's
definitely a type of art and and we all have that creativity it's just a matter
of how to express it you know Robert Livanos it's an amazing graphic designer
and and Mike Mike murder Johnson the the one of my favorite skaters of all time
he he and III that was one of my I got the blessing of being he was my roommate
as well in California you know I lived with him for a couple years and and he's
an amaze in 3d artists work he was learning while
he was still skating as a pro skater that was amazing I know it's just yes oh
yeah that that was that was those one of like the things that I will never forget
about murder and and Robert you know we would be in the escazu house with like
we always had like ten people at least in our house every day because we were
five of us and or six of us in that house but then we always had people
visiting from all over the place so we always have people over and no matter if
we were there hanging out even even if it was just normal life it felt like you
were in a party because there were so many people even if we were just chillin
watching a movie or you know whatever but uh you know there would be up all
night practicing 3d Mike murder and his roomed practice in 3d with his book open
and Bravo doing graphic graphic you know and and then you know then that's that's
how they did it and now they're they're amazing or what they do and they you
know they the other day I could the other day I bought a jacket like a
snowboard like notice no like a a snow jacket and then I saw the lawyer like
that's a cute that's like a really cool logo and then later that week I had a
finding out that I don't know where that logo was designed by Robert Levin as
there was a grenade jacket oh I'm small the world is like you know this it's
crazy yeah yeah it is also yeah we you know it's a we we we have a you know
we're definitely a community of both of artists that that that definitely could

Engineer and Sweden's only female trial biker - Duration: 2:25.
I have always been interested in technical things, and when you are cycling
you are also interested in how durable things are.
And I wanted to be able to design my own bikes in the future.
That's probably what has driven me to a large extent.
My name is Nadine Kåmark and I studied mechanical engineering
and then I read the applied mechanics master.
I'm a trials bike rider. It's a different sort of bike sport, where you have
to climb obstacles without putting your feet down.
My goal in 2017 was to win a World Cup medal, and I came second in the World Cup last year.
So now in 2018, my goal is to win the World Cup.
I have been a National Sports University student for the past two years, and it has been very rewarding.
Chalmers offers a great way to combine your studies with elite sports
Today I work at the company where I did my master thesis. I work as an engineer there.
I've only been there for two weeks so far but I'm really enjoying it.

Des sneakers comme Jay Z - Duration: 3:07.
One evening a young Afghan arrived in Paris after a 16 months walk from Kaboul
Wearing shorts and flip flops
he asked if by anychance, among all the second hand shoes
we had sneakers
Nice looking sneakers…
Sneakers like Jay-Z's
Since november 2016, I'm a volunteer, with Emmaüs Solidarité,
At the first reception center Porte de la Chapelle.
A shelter for refugees arriving in Paris
Most of them are young adults from Afghanistan,
Soudan,
Eritrea,
Mali
Guinea…
In the main hosting center There's a «shop»
That's what we call it
where they have access to second hand clothes
from underwear to socks or trousers,
jackets or shoes.
It can be a bit difficult for us there
because they are anxious, stressed out, Sometimes even demanding
Yes demanding.
Sometimes I told myself «a sweater is a sweater
It's warm it should be good enough…»
I was ashamed of that thought but it did cross my mind
But one evening, this young Afghan arrived
And asked for sneakers like Jay-Z's
That was the starting point
With 2 photographers Frédéric Delangle and Ambroise Tézenas
and 3 volunteers,
we wanted to learn more
to understand what was at sake here everyday for each of them
in front of those crates full of second hand clothes
What does it mean for them
to wear clothes that belonged to others before ?
Among all those clothes they chose one outfit and took the time to explain their choice
Why those particular shoes, why this shape, why this color of jacket
Then they paused
Those portraits are shot with a 4X5 inch camera
in an intimate and calm interaction
and those precious moments spent interviewing them
have been necessary to understand how much
clothing is everything but anecdotal
This outfit is their identity card
Stay still..3,2

how everything has fit together in its own special and unique way even though
life is always leading us in interesting directions there is a purpose in a plan
to it all and embracing this in accepting whatever comes can help you to
find peace and keep on moving forward the symbol for Pisces of the two fish
swimming in opposite directions also reflects this energy and signifies
finding harmony and peace no matter what direction you are flowing in life
Pisces also rules over the feet which are responsible for grounding us to the
earth and helping us to move forward in the right direction whatever direction
you have been called to go in during this zodiac cycle which began with the
start of the astrological year back in March 2017 you are now being called to
find the harmony and find the peace as the astrological year concludes and a
new one begins this Pisces New Moon is going be helping
you to feel a sense of completion or wholeness with the direction of your
life and it will also be helping you to start thinking about the future while it
is impossible to really plan for the future this new moon is a great time to
think about what you want to pull or bring into your life you don't have to
have an exact plan but thinking about what seeds you want to plant or what
emotions you want to bring into your life is a good place to start think
about how you want to feel as you move through this next chapter of your life
think about what emotions or energy you want to bring into you life and focus on
how you can create these in small ways every day
while this new moon is great for sending out your wishes it also carries a very
healing energy too if there are any wounds or sores that you have been
nursing this energy is going to help you think about them in a new light and
bring a sense of acceptance and forgiveness to whatever has transpired
Pisces energy really requires you to look at the bigger picture and to see
events that have unfolded as a whole by looking at the whole picture and
focusing on the beginning middle and end you are going to gain a much clearer
understanding of your journey you may not always have a choice in regards to
what life brings your way but you always have a choice in how you choose to see
things you can choose to see everything that comes your way is a blessing and
opportunity for growth or you can choose to see yourself as a victim or unlucky
the choice is always yours but the more you look for the silver lining the more
complete and whole you are going to feel the Pisces New Moon is really a great
time to focus on acceptance and finding a sense of completion and gratitude with
your life journey so far you have traveled so far and you have been
through so much and you really deserve to honor and congratulate yourself for
all that you have achieved life on this earthly dimension isn't always easy but
the more you follow the rhythms and cycles of your own heart and soul and
focus on the good the easier it becomes to transcend some of the muck and mud
that you encounter along the way the pisces new moon really is the
perfect time to honor all of you in all of your journey no matter what has
happened no matter how you have failed or succeeded or lost or won there is
something to celebrate and something to learn and grow from March is an
interesting month as it not only brings the start of the astrological new year
but it also has two full moons full moon energy is going to dominate most of the
month meaning that this Pisces New Moon carries a rare and special flavor we
won't really get to indulge in for too long as a bridge between the two full
moons this Pisces New Moon is going to give us a small opportunity to really
focus on bringing acceptance and forgiveness to our lives so we can begin
moving forward it is also going to help us to manifest and draw in new energies
emotions and feelings that we wish to work with overall the Pisces New Moon is
the perfect time to wrap up loose ends embrace the lessons that have unfolded
and to plant new seeds for the future

#2 The Necktie - 5 minute English talk with subtitles, script, questions and answers - Duration: 6:04.
Good morning everybody.
How are you today?
I hope you're well.
It's a beautiful sunny day here today.
It's a little bit warm.
Hopefully the snow's finally going to start melting.
I'm looking forward to the spring.
Right.
Today, I want to talk to you for five minutes about the tie.
So, OK, here we go.
A tie.
Why do I wear a tie?
Well, basically I wear a tie because everyone else wears one.
I've had to wear a tie every day of the week since I was seven years old, which means I
have worn a tie now for a total of thirty-three years, five or six days a week.
OK, so why do we wear a tie?
Well, the wearing of a piece of cloth around your neck basically started in Roman days.
The Roman Legionnaires, the Roman soldiers, they used to wear a colored piece of cloth
around the neck to differentiate the unit they were in.
Of course, an army is broken up into smaller and smaller and smaller groups, and to tell
which group you were in, the soldiers used to wear a colored piece of cloth.
That was so, in a battle, you could tell who your friends were and if you got divided you
could find your own group pretty easily.
That continued.
Basically, the modern tie though, comes from the Thirty Years' War,
which was from 1618 until 1648.
I don't have much time to talk about that, but it was basically a European war which
was Protestant countries versus Catholic countries.
It was a deadly, hugely destructive war.
8 million people died altogether from the war, and also from famine and from disease.
It was a huge ... hugely destructive war.
But, anyway, during that war, Croatian mercenaries in French service used to wear a small knotted
neckerchief around their neck.
Very, very small, thin, colored piece of cloth.
Now, this is nothing special.
Soldiers have been doing this for millennia.
Of course, though, in France, people like fashion, and Parisians liked this idea and
it started to take off.
A fashion can grow, and it can become popular but to really make a fashion stick you need
a famous figurehead to take this fashion on, and that figurehead was King Louis the XIVth,
who even though he was only seven years old, a boy king, he started wearing a neckerchief,
basically.
And that's where it came from.
The name, cravat, ties are sometimes called cravats, that came from ... in Croatian, Croat
people are called ... I don't know how to pronounce this ... Hrvati, and in French they're
called Croates, and those two words mixed, and you got cravat.
After that, of course, the French like design, they like fashion, and these ties started
to get crazier and crazier, and frillier and frillier, and more and more and more intricate,
until sometimes it would take hours to tie the actual tie itself, and you had to go to
a professional tie tier to put the tie on.
So, very, very complex ties.
Now, that fashion would have continued if it hadn't been for the industrial revolution.
In the industrial revolution, people were now working for a full day, from the morning
until the evening.
They didn't have time to tie a complex tie, and they needed a tie that would last all
day, would be easy, would be comfortable, and wouldn't come undone.
So, that was when the modern tie was basically designed, the 1770s and thereon.
Up until about 1926 it was all handmade.
In 1926 somebody perfected the way of tying ... a way of making a tie.
It's basically made from three or two pieces of cloth that are sewn together, and there
is a lining inside, and the lining was actually stitched in.
1926, that was all designed.
After World War Two, ties were very, very short, much shorter than today's ties.
About this long.
They were also very, very big and very, very colorful.
That was kind of a rebellion towards the war.
During the war soldiers were forced to wear the same uniform, so, after the war, they
wanted colorful ties.
Ties were pretty short because back then trousers were worn much higher.
Around about here.
And most people wore waistcoats as well.
So, you didn't see the bottom of the tie.
After waistcoats kind of died out, and trousers sunk down to here, ties became longer.
Today, the average tie length is about 140cm, which is about the length of mine.
These days, ties are relatively thin and pretty much the same, although you do get some quite
colorful ones.
There are some problems associated with ties, of course.
One of the biggest ones, of course, is if you work with machinery, if you work in an
industrial job, it's very easy to get your tie caught in a machine.
And, some people every year are actually killed by their ties.
They are killed by strangulation, asphyxiation.
Another problem of course, is doctors.
Quite recently it was realized that doctors' ties were spreading disease.
Which part of your clothes do you wash the least?
I wash all my clothes, of course, but I very rarely wash my ties.
And, this was the same with doctors.
They realized that doctors' ties were actually spreading disease from one patient to another.
So, quite recently, ties have actually been made illegal in hospitals.
You very rarely see a doctor wearing a tie these days.
And, of course, another problem is that it's enforced.
You basically have to wear a tie.
If you went to a job interview without a tie, people would think you were not being respectful,
people would think you are not formal enough.
So, it's kind of an enforced rule.
It's a socially enforced rule.
OK.
I've run out of time.
I actually like wearing ties.
I have quite a few ties.
I wear them every day because I have to.
I ran out of time.That was a lot of fun.
I hope you understood me.

Des sneakers comme Jay Z - Duration: 3:07.One evening a young Afghan arrived in Paris after a 16 months walk from Kaboul
Wearing shorts and flip flops
he asked if by anychance, among all the second hand shoes
we had sneakers
Nice looking sneakers…
Sneakers like Jay-Z's
Since november 2016, I'm a volunteer, with Emmaüs Solidarité,
At the first reception center Porte de la Chapelle.
A shelter for refugees arriving in Paris
Most of them are young adults from Afghanistan,
Soudan,
Eritrea,
Mali
Guinea…
In the main hosting center There's a «shop»
That's what we call it
where they have access to second hand clothes
from underwear to socks or trousers,
jackets or shoes.
It can be a bit difficult for us there
because they are anxious, stressed out, Sometimes even demanding
Yes demanding.
Sometimes I told myself «a sweater is a sweater
It's warm it should be good enough…»
I was ashamed of that thought but it did cross my mind
But one evening, this young Afghan arrived
And asked for sneakers like Jay-Z's
That was the starting point
With 2 photographers Frédéric Delangle and Ambroise Tézenas
and 3 volunteers,
we wanted to learn more
to understand what was at sake here everyday for each of them
in front of those crates full of second hand clothes
What does it mean for them
to wear clothes that belonged to others before ?
Among all those clothes they chose one outfit and took the time to explain their choice
Why those particular shoes, why this shape, why this color of jacket
Then they paused
Those portraits are shot with a 4X5 inch camera
in an intimate and calm interaction
and those precious moments spent interviewing them
have been necessary to understand how much
clothing is everything but anecdotal
This outfit is their identity card
Stay still..3,2
