R.B. Umali’s tapes catalog major players from numerous decades, from OGs like Harold, Clyde, Javier and Huf to contemporaries like Westgate and Ishod. We’re forever indebted to The Banks.

Ishod, Ronnie, Roman, Cedric, Tyson, Pedro Barros and more homies blast over channels and burn down bowls, barking and brimming the whole time. Feel alive!  

Neck sparks it and GT, Ishod, Rowan, Raney, Pedro and the crew burn the bowl to ashes. Day trips and serious rips—keep it rev’d. 

As the REAL van rolled across the East Coast, they hammered down NBDs at spots as well as the urban dictionary. Update your slang and soak up the tour mayhem with this piece from our May 2020 issue.

The REAL crew links up with Ish and witnesses Reese Salken almost getting smoked by a school bus—but the stoke stays high with lengthy rails, DIY bumps and a unicycle. Check in for good times and a near-death experience. 

Busting bangers at every stop in the South, Walker, Wright, Olson, Garvey, Henry and the REAL crew take on deadly triple-kinkers and freeway banks with reckless abandon. Enjoy the ride…

Phelper took an all-time crew of heavy hitters to Chile in January 2019 for what turned out to be his final HELLRIDE. As he fired up the session, legends like Koston, GT, and Ishod took things to the next level. It’s been a year since his physical form moved on, but the Old Man is STILL WATCHIN.

Ishod and some of the Fire’s heaviest Euro burners take to the skinny streets for an international rip ride, featuring more than a few epic bank and ledge locales. Take special note of Carozzi and Lintell—they’re really onto something...

The other half of the Be Free SOTY duo satisfies his skate rat hunger with a surplus of savory spots. Yet after a massive kinked-rail Smith and a switch flip crook battle that would justify a long rest, Ishod keeps the engine running. Big ups to a certified GOAT.
