Beagle has been filming since high school which caught the attention of Jay Strickland who gave him a VX1000 camera to help shoot. He ended up filming a large portion of THE BEST SKATE VIDEO EVER, Baker2g. This was a collaboration of Jay Strickland and Andrew Reynolds. If you are not familiar, that video is where the intro of this very podcast is from. After Baker2g, Jay Strickland and Andrew Reynolds split ways and @BAKER SKATEBOARDS became it's own brand with Beagle behind the lens. Beagle is known for his unique style of filming while having an eye for antics AKA Hijinx. While he is a filmer, he is also a ripper and still shreads all the time. Beagle IS skateboarding culture. He is such a positive person and his motivating and encouraging attitude helps the skaters get the job done. To this day, Beagle films 6 days a week while also working on the @HIJINX Net channel where every Thursday @ 8P he releases an episode which contains sessions from the last 20+ years of filming. One things we forgot to mention on the podcast was the homie Murdy The Dawg. Murdy is a skateboarding dog and Beagle's right-hand-dawg. Murdy had the best part in Baker4 where he murdered the Hollywood 16. Please make sure to show Beagle and Murdy and the Hijinx fam some love and if you enjoy this pod, please tell a friend.

Hey, everyone! Today we sat with Ryan of Nito Studios. Into Studios is creative studio that specializes in art, toys and storytelling. They recently just released their first project "The Book Of Inue" issue #1. Ryan created the character "Baby Inue" for his daughter which turned into a passion project. Ryan used to own a brand called "Unite BeCause " which was focused around drifting. A few years back, Ryan's focus changed from the automotive community to focusing on his creative skills which lead to the creation of Nito Studios. I had a great time talking to Ryan as he is a very motivated and creative person. He is able to make his visions come to reality which is very fascinating to me. Please make sure you show Ryan some love and if you enjoy this podcast, please tell a friend!
