I had the privileged of working with an incredible group of artists and skaters to make this teaser trailer for an upcoming film entitled, "Sk8boarding with Saddam."

I'll keep you updated on my behind the scenes footage. It was really fun working on this project.

Duh, who's that skateboarder?

The new Taco Bell Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Tacos commercial entitled "Duh" was released this week.

Who's that skateboarder grinding the lip of the Venice skatepark snakerun? Duh, it's me.

Did they feed us Taco Bell for lunch on set? Nope. We had tri-tip, chicken, salmon and some awesome chocolate cake.

Vintage Wardrobe for "Skateboarding with Saddam"

Since the movie, "Skateboarding with Saddam" is set in 1990, the boards, shoes, and clothes have to be from companies that were around at the time. World Industries, Airwalk shoes, and Independent came through with great period clothing and "props."

Here is a picture of the board, shoes and shirt I wore during the filming of the trailer.

Skating the Vans AmTech Combi Bowl

Got this picture taken at the Vans AmTech Combi Bowl at The Block. Thanks Curtis Stage for the pic. Thanks World Industries for the board. Loved shredding with such great skaters.

Filming trailer for new movie "Skateboarding with Saddam"

This was a totally rad night shoot in downtown Los Angeles for the teaser trailer for the upcoming movie, "Skateboarding with Saddam". Directed by award winning artists, Bayou Bennett and Daniel Lir. Skate Consultant Brian Lotti. Produced by Doug Claybourne, producer of The Mask of Zorro and The Fast and the Furious and tons of other great stuff. I play the skateboarding, photograph taking, romantic lead, Daniel. Yep. Here I am, looking like Shia Labeouf (or so they say.)

Some Combi Footage

Some random runs at the Vans Combi Bowl at The Block. Thanks Iris Garcia for being my filmer.

Thanks World Industries

Boards from World Industries. I love it when the postman rings.

The postman with goodies.

A good use for my grip tape razor.

One of my favorites.
