SPoT Life: The KR3W Crew Cruises
Posted on Friday, June 13, 2014 by Chris
The last time I wrote one of these articles, I’m sure it was way too long. So in an attempt to keep
the interest of any young, Instagram loving, A.D.D. riddled kids & adults who are actually taking
the time to read this, I’ll keep it short. For additional info on what’s what, watch Frank Branca’s
lovely Ride Channel edit & view the photos that accompany these words.
I was asked by SPoT to come up & help film, shoot some photos of & interview the KR3W riders
who were coming into town for the “School's Out Jam All Ages Contest” & a Sunday trip to skate.
The line-up would be Taylor Kirby, AJ Zavala, Windsor James, & Nick Zizzo. Along with them
would be the KR3W TM, Chris “Brownie” Brown, myself, Frank Branca, Brian Schaefer, SPoT
riders Dylan Church, Uncle Sam Bellipanni, Alex Bibiloni, & Markus Jalaber. My answer was…
an emphatic - yes! Yes sir, actually.
To get to the gist of it, AJ & Taylor who are a part of the now famous “Shep Dawgs” crew & just
put out what has to be the gnarliest homie video of all time - never stopped skating. NEVER.
Except for a few hours of sleep, these guys didn’t quit, & it was amazing to see that type of drive
again. Nicky Z. killed it as well. Windsor unfortunately had to take off early. The whole
Sunday trip to the Bro Bowl & Bradenton was filled with eye-popping tricks by everyone who was
there to skate. There was a hell of a lot of fun & good memories. So enjoy the photos, watch the edit,
be entertained & keep pushing…

Frank Branca is a rare human. Humble, mellow, hard working and a rad skater. I enjoy working with him emensely. Looking forward to the next adventure.
This may have been the gnarliest thing I've ever seen live, in person. Shep Dawg AJ Zavala - FS Nosepick on the monster wall at the Bradenton park.
Taylor at the truckstop - happy with his rare find. Florida's gas stations and truckstops rule for this.
