Look: Crailtap Unearths Lost EMB Footage of Chico Brenes and Mike Carroll

Crailtap recently unearthed some classic Chico Brenes and Mike Carroll footage from the golden EMB days, shot by the one and only Jacob Rosenberg. It might just be a few lines (and some goofy B-Roll of Chico) but it still offers an intimate glimpse into the countless sessions that went down at this iconic spot. Check it out:

The sound of those bricks will never get old, nor will seeing these two (and all the other EMB OGs) skating this legendary spot in the 90's. Truly magical. This is as raw and real as it gets, and it blows my mind to think about how much other unseen footage might be out there sitting on random hard drives, waiting to be discovered.

Also, I know I'm pointing out the obvious, but look how young these two look! And to think—both of them are still having fun on their skateboards to this day, pushing along through the (empty) fountain of youth. Those classic EMB days might be gone, but the sessions are still firing in 2024. How rad is that!? If those bricks could talk...

Moments like this are always worth shining some light on. We have to respect our roots, you know? If these clips got you hyped, tap the post above ( Recording the Ride ) to see what Rosenberg has been up to lately out in New York.

Huge shout out to Chico, Carroll, Jacob, and all the pioneers who paved the way for us. Skateboarding wouldn't be the same without their contributions. Godspeed!
