Nostalgic Fridays
Girl - Mouse
"Another video by Girl skateboards, and with the Girl team there is always the Chocolate team following close behind.
This is a pure street video. A lot of Southern California footage, mixed in with some footage from San Fransico and elsewhere. The skating is uniform throughout the video with each skater basically having a smooth technical style. There is a bunch of ledge work and a shit load of nose grind/crooked grind variations.
There isn't any park, mini, or vert skating -- just street, street, street.
Pretty much what you would expect from these fellas. There are a few skits mixed in the video to break things up, which are brought to you by the cinematic genius of Spike Jonze, and the rest of the time is just pure skating."
Fourstar in San Francisco

WBW Spotlight: Soppipoo
WBW finally get to sit down with our own spotlight segment and drill our favourite buttery ass skater Eusoff Lazi aka. Soppipoo, with our very own WBW questions.
Double or nothing!! Take it away Soppipoo!!
----
WBW: Afternoon Mr.Soppipoo, You're on WBW interview spotlight segment! What have you been up to lately?
Eusoff: Nothing... Sleep, Eat, Chill and skate if Ahmed skates... that's about it.
WBW: So, Where do you live now?
Eusoff: Where?? is that a trick question?? wahahaha...jurongggggg...cobras....weet weet weet weet weeeeeew!!
WBW: Westside huh? So how long have you been living in Jurong?
Eusoff: All my life!!!!!
WBW: So tell us, When and why did you started skating?
Eusoff: Hmmm.. its pretty funny if i thought of it back.... when i was in Sec 1, my school mates all wanted to start skating cause of this Sec 3 guy.. so they were kinda asking me to join them.. then i kinda talked shit and said i skated too but actually i didn't.. but my elder bro skates so i kinda know what they were talking about.. so I wanted to be cool and i joined them! hahaha. For your info, out of all those who started skating with me .. i'm the only one who still skates! haha!
WBW: Nice!!!! Last man standing!! So when you started out.. was there a certain skater, local or pro, u looked up to?
Eusoff: Hmm... Daewon Song was the first PRO i got stoked on! Local.. i don't think so.
WBW: Ok.. you sound like a tough guy. So how did you ended up with Go Sports?
Eusoff: Tough guy? Ahahaaa... My school mates were the ones who wanted to skate there.. so i just went with the flow cause they are the only people i skated with.
WBW: Who do you think people should look out for in the local skating scene?
Eusoff: Right now?
WBW: Yeah!
Eusoff: Heaps man... Heaps!
WBW: Name us one upcoming skater that you think people should take notice...
Eusoff: Hmmmm... i like to see someone who skates with style more than having mad skills! So i got to say Farid from the east and Arm from the west dawg!!
WBW: How bout Jup the champ? You skate with him.. Not too impressed with him? He's been getting alot of positive vibes.
Eusoff: Oh yah!! AND of course jup!! Sorry jup! Jup got his own style man!! look out for his killa hands!! ahahaha!! And it's sad though cause he wasn't in the WBW video part of the year... hmm, i wonder why.. i would vote for him easily man.
WBW: Well i heard the poll judge said that he's still an Am in the go sports crew. Erm.. anyway.. tell us a typical day in the life of Soppipoo.
Eusoff: Ahahaa...are you changing the topic?
(This is the part where Soppipoo demanded to know why Jup champion's video part is not nominated but WBW promised to fill him in later)
Eusoff: A typical day will be.. wake up, online, Berrics.com, webleedwood.com, eat then sleep again then skate...if i'm not skating then ill go out...yeahh thats about it.
WBW: You 're a Berrics fan huh? By the way who you think will win the WBW video part of the year? Yeahh!! Your part is nominated too! Its pretty rad!! Nice tricks and song layout.
Eusoff: Yupp!! a Berrics Fan!!! We already know who is the winner. Just look at the results so far... If you wanna know just visit WBW yourself!! ahaha.
WBW: Where do you usually skate and what do you look for in a skate spot?
Eusoff: Another trick question? wahahhaa... go sports... i'm a ledge person.. u give me a buttery ass ledge, enough space and a nice ground, u can see me skating there every day!
WBW: Alot of guys we know (both Eastsiders and Westsiders) have had complimented on your smooth but yet aggressive skating style.. can you tell us what is your style all about?
Eusoff: Really? i always thought my style suck ass man... i dunno, maybe from watching skatevids?
WBW: But they also complimented you have a nice ass!!! Anyway we thank you for your time.. Any last words before we cut?
Eusoff: Hahaha!! Of course man.. girls are jealous of my ass!! i'm a sexxxy beast!!!
