BEAGLE Tapes: Episode 50 – Andrew Reynolds, Justin “Figgy” Figueroa and Furby
The Wilshire Financial Tower was built in 1962. This structure is commonly referred to by skateboarders as the WIlshire 10 or Wilshire 15. The building received a Merit Award from the Southern California Chapter of the American Institute of Architects in 1963. The entrance has an 88 foot wide forecourt framed by one story wings. The lobby features a four-section colored mosaic glass mural by Gyorgy Kepes, 12 feet high and totaling 57 feet in length. Welton David Beckett’s architectural firm designed this building. Interestingly, the architectural firm also designed some very interesting buildings and structures that are relevant to skateboard culture. His firm also designed the World’s Fair project in 1964, to NY skaters this is know as “Flushing Meadows”. Another famous skate spot designed by Welton Beckett’s firm is the Chase Tower in Phoenix, AZ. This pot is know as the “Bank Banks”, made famous by Chad Muska and Colby Carter. The firm also designed the Capitol Records building located in Hollywood, CA.
Anyways, let’s get down to brass tax. In pursuit of the completing the “Bake and Destroy” video which was available as a free DVD in every copy of December 2012 Thrasher Magazine. The BAKER skateboards team was in crunch time to get the final clips for the video. Warming up at the Wilshire 10 stair, Justin “Figgy” Figueroa switch backside lipslides the set and avoids oncoming traffic. Andrew Reynolds gets half Cab noseslide, while Michael Burnett documents with a photography sequence. Migrating to the big boy side, a young Franky Villani performs a coping dance with a feeble-to-50-50 and then considers a 50-50 to manual. Figgy, pursing the premeditated switch backside 50-50, get what he came there for. A cold blooded reptile (Lizard Kind) feeds off the heat of the make.
The next day, in San Pedro, CA, Furby nollie kickflips a fatty to flatty between the pam tree field goal. It’s good… Circa 2011 – BEAGLE
BEAGLE Tapes: Episode 44 – Oklahoma
MISSING PERSON: If anyone knows of the whereabouts of the PD Baby, please immediately email [email protected] – Last seen in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma with “PD” sharpied on his head. There is a finder’s fee of one Hijinx Net product box.
After a signing at local OKC skate shop, the tour vans head to a local skatepark for a demonstration. Apocalypse now… Andrew Reynolds becomes the focal point while the rest of the crew mingle with the Oklahomies… he stomps out a backside 360 kickflip melon on the hip with a broken board victory ride. The PD baby cheers him on. Neckface, in charge of the pyrotechnics for the event, coordinates the finale with a Black Cat firecracker fiasco. “We got a tailwhip, tweaking that motherfucker…”
In Tulsa, Oklahoma, at a metal ramp skatepark, a drunken toad stumbles on the course. Tulsans show up from near and far to see the BAKER Has A Deathwish performance. The crew members bang their tricks out like drum cymbals in concert hall. Beagle is declared the “Best Skate/Filmer Ever” and Antwuan Dixon sparks the fireworks…. “That might be a BAKER MAKER up in the Tulsa…” Circa 2008 – Beagle
BEAGLE Tapes: Episode 44 – Nick Merlino
Cruising down the Miracle Mile, Andrew Reynolds and Pat”The Sinner” Pasquale decide to make a pit stop at the Wilshire 15 stair. The two get down to business right away with a variety of heelflips. Andrew almost rides away from a backside heelflip and Pat almost stomps a switch heelflip, but rides over one of his fingers from extreme compression. A broken board later and the session is over.
That same evening, on the heels of Andrew’s and Pat’s session, Ryan Decenzo and Nick Merlino skate the same set of stairs. Ryan attempts a switch frontside heelflip and Nick Merlino stomps a switch heelflip (For context, Nick had asked Pat for permission to attempt the same trick he had tried earlier that day. Pat granted him permission and Nick secured the bag. A controversial move on both parts, but we will let you decide who was in the wrong for that one.).
After landing the switch heelflip, Nick considers attempting a switch backside 360 down the 15, but Beagle steps in to govern, and coaches Nick to attempt down the Redondo 13 stair instead. That same evening, they light up the 13 stair and Nick rides away from the switch back 360. Circa 2006 – Beagle
