Ro and Alejandro Capote

There's something really tight about brothers that ride together. Most of the time you got an older brother, and a younger brother. That is how it is with Ro and Alejandro, and many other "Brothers" in the sport. Capron and Cory Funk, Josh and Joe Kish, uhhhh.. *Insert other brothers here* Ro and Alejandro are from NY, so naturally they're holding it down in the streets a lot. While Ro is pretty obviously shutting it down, it's good to see that younger brother Alejandro is also on the come up. Check out older brother Ro, and younger brother Alejandro's latest edits below.


Thanks to Bryant Colon for the videos.

Two Riders on the Come Up

These two guys are on their way up in the sport. One of them is a New York native, and the other rides frequently with Jon Devrind, one of my favorite riders to watch.

First up let's look at 14 year old Evan Barba. Riding with Jon Devrind has definitely paid off, and you can see it in his style. One thing that worries me sometimes though, with riders that ride so much with one person, is that they become mini clones of that rider. Let's hope that doesn't happen with Evan. His riding is clean and smooth, and you can tell he's only going to get better.





Next up we got a video featuring a rider from NY, Ro Capote. This video was edited and sent to me by his friend Bryant Colon, and I'm glad he sent it in. Ro rides both park and street in the video, and even a little bit of driveway footy. I definitely think he excels in the street department over park, and I hope he puts out a serious street edit in the future. Really raw style. Check it out.
