Rugby Boys (alay kay Chrisangelo)

I went out of the office earlier than usual and decided to take some photos of my skateboarding buddies. I started snapping one frame after another starting, with Drunken Dodoy.

He can still manage to do some tricks right after his drinking session. For Drunken Dodoy, drinking and skateboarding is inseparable, one and the same.

I wonder why his brother's not skating these days.

Meet Tags the Trasher. Aside from skating, he can do more with his bare hands like washing the dishes. Nyahahahaha

He's a frontman in a band that plays christian rock. He likes to do covers of classical music in punk! Ano kaya ang tunog ng soundtrack ng Sound of Music o kaya Annie? Heheheheh

Mas matindi pag Mozart!



"Gian the Magician" is never afraid of doing new tricks and most of the times he does combinations of two. Some of the tricks are not for the faint-hearted.


His scars are proof of his dare-devil stunts. He's tamed when his Ate Cha is watching though.

Go Gian...break your leg! I mean break a leg...pareho lang yan! Bwahahahah


Kapitan Karlo also known as The Kagawad! He's one of the guys responsible in organizing local skateboarding contests in the area.

Trashers from other cities like Koronadal and Davao will hitch-hike their way to Gen. Santos City and and earn those scars errr cash.

Karlo's the unofficial maniniyot/videographer of their group too.



Last but definitely not the least...BATIBOT! Ang kilabot! Mukha pa lang matatawa ka na.

His stunts include scaring the gurls and making faces.

Would love to shoot more frames when the "rugby boys" (but they're not!) caught my attention. They love to hang out with the skaters at sundown, borrow their boards and try to do some tricks.



They're enjoying their summer buster so I started shooting some frames. Kakaingit ng kanilang kinakain.




They never cared about the flash and I was able to snap some more, too bad I can't get a close up or I might get hit by the flying boards.

And when they were done...

it's funtime!
