Paul Rodriguez #5.



Video Days.

A young P. Rod does a kickflip backside 50-50 on one of those popular California handrails. The trick wasn't in his part in Girl's Yeah, Right, which surprised me a little. I imagine it wound up in one of the video magazines that were around at the time.

Who is the filmer in the picture?

The trick wound up in his part for TWS's "In Bloom." I believe the filmer in the photo is Mike Adalpe, aka "Hoops." But, I am not 100% certain on that.

You are correct. The trick was in In Bloom at about the 3:00 minute mark. I don't think I'd ever seen that video before today. Between this part and Yeah Right, P. Rod skated to some monotonous music. Give In Bloom a song with some personality and you've got something instead of a talented young man rattling off every trick ever perfectly.
