Jesse Puente: Shimerville Play Contest, PA 1994
So good to see this footage once again, Jesse Puente took the win at the Shimerville, PA Play contest back in 1994. So progressive for the time, and so much of that West Coast style that we came to love and be inspired by to this day. Yes Jesse and all the West coast crew holding it down!
Edgar Plascencia: Shimerville, PA 1994 Play Clothes comp
Style for miles from Edgar Plascencia, OF Flatland Fugitive tears the Shimerville, PA Play Clothes comp a new one back in 94. So worth watch this, not only his tricks, originality but the dead time between the tricks. So good to watch!
