BEAGLE Tapes: Episode 54 – Evan Hernandez

“They want me talk about Evan, right?” – Dustin Dollin

Filming for his Transworld “In Bloom” video part, a young Evan Hernadez, (Pre Rolex Watches and Rubba-Band Bizness) skates the Franklin High School 18 stair rail in Highland Park, CA. After a close call with a concussion, he rides away from a frontside boardslide, which ended up being his last trick in his Transworld part. He is accompanied by the underrated Jason Jones.

In a brief session at La Cañada High School, Jeff Lenoce attempts a switch heelflip down the 11 stair while Beagle tortures Knox Godoy by throwing his board up in a tree. After a short duration and a juvenile name calling dialogue, Knox retrieves his board by giving the tree a shake, but only to find it was now inhabited by a creepy crawler.

At the Santa Monica Courthouse, Beagle films Ako Jefferson perform a frontside kickflip down the four stair in dual t-shirt Laker getup with a pair of éS Koston 3s. As seen in “Chomp On This”. Handing the camera off, Ako films Beagle perform a frontside bluntslide shuv-it. As seen in the original Shake Junt video entitled “Shake Junt”. Peep the steez (style) on the nollie shuv, post landing. Circa 2001 – BEAGLE

Wish You Were Here with Nestor Judkins – Salad Days Of Skateboarding

This is the first episode in a new series in collaboration with enjoi and Salad Days of Skateboarding….
In January, 2019, my friend Zack and I flew to bangalore, India to join @holystoked on their annual road trip across southern India to hit up a bunch of DIY skateparks they have built over the years. We didn’t really know what to expect but just wanted to check out the scene this crew of skaters are building in India. Since then, I was inspire to form a nonprofit @saladdaysofskateboaring and we put together this glimpse into what I think is an epic story of skateboarding’s ability to transcend all borders and cultures. More “Postcard” episodes to come in the near future. Don’t forget to write.

Love, Nestor.
