WORDS AND PHOTOS BY BRIAN WEIS

IN BARCELONA

I THINK ANYONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND SAYS YES. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE MAN ASKING IS AJ.

“The colors of these buildings and the lighting in the complex were amazing. Add just the right yellow colored Bacemint hoodie and it definitely makes for pleasing footage. Alex crushed this set, no surprise.”

I BELIEVE IT ALL STARTED A FEW WEEKS PRIOR BECAUSE OF MY USUAL “MONEY’S NOT REAL, ONLY DRUGS” TALK. AJ AND I BECAME A LOT CLOSER THAT NIGHT.

FATE WOULD HAVE IT, FRESH INTO THE NEW YEAR, THE VX BOYS AND I EMBARKED ON A JOURNEY TO BARCELONA. SKATING MAY GO THROUGH ITS TRANSFORMATIONS, BUT OUR PASSION IS WHAT KEEPS THE FLAME BURNING. THESE DUDES ARE THE REAL DEAL.

SOMETIMES YOU JUST FOLLOW YOUR HEART AND DO WHAT YOU LOVE. THAT’S WHAT WE DID. THAT’S WHAT WE’VE BEEN DOING AND THAT’S WHAT WE WILL DO.

“People are reallllly friendly around here (“Ace voice”). We were bombarded by these little rugrats in no time. They were showing off, flipping off the ledges, and just plain being wild. Alex stepped into character and made the best of it. One of them gave us a joint, too. I swear he had a beard though.” @

“What you see here is Marc just doing it. What you don’t see is one of the worst/best graffiti recreations of the Nike logo on the ledge on the right hand side of this photo. Ask AJ for the shot.” @

“One thing that always comes to mind when I think of Esmeralda is how Marc can parallel park that ole gal anywhere. Should’ve filmed a VOD on that. True player way.” @

“Marc directly after assisting a very nice older lady with opening a security door for her shop. No questions asked, just a straight gentleman. Also snagged him a free pass on this down bar.” @
