Met him in albuquerque one time he was passing through alone and just hopped in the car with all of us and skated spots all day. Nicest dude humble, always smiling, he gave the younger homies some spare boards and old shoes before leaving town ... honestly him and Fred Gall are the realist pro skaters iv ever met

[@morgellon9449]

Sick! He seems nice. There's a 1997 issue of Slap with Fred Gall on the cover doing one of those like noseblunt frontside grab acid drops into a bank in Indian School ditch from the sidewalk railing, the bank between the two tunnels on the west side of Juan Tabo. I ate so much shit trying to just drop into the thing from the top of the bank because there's these bolts you have to weave through at the bottom. You can actually see the bolts on the cover; I hit one, haha. Tore my palm off. If you go there, you really get sense of how gnarly Fred Gall is if you look at that cover. A lot of his stuff is kinda like that; way gnarlier if you take a close look at the spot.

The pampered west coast skaters have no clue how impressive it is for guys like Manny and Dave to make it big out of a place like Lowell. The ground is rough as hell. The spots gnarly. Winter sucks. Two of the best. Down to Earth too.

[@thundersquid5715]

nothing pampered about being a west coast skater lol, at least being in south central la (the place where public education sucks) The spots here, gnarly with cracks n shit due to no city reparation, and getting robbed shot or stabbed from a hood-bred opportunist sucks.

Manny's idea of skateboarding and how it's art, I love. It feels like modern art where you need the full story to get the art. I hate modern art, but, I love how he feels about skateboarding.

Holy crap you actually had manny on!! Now we need dave bachinsky on here 🙏 can’t wait to watch now. Crime in the city was my first skate video.

[@kiana685]

One of my favorite parts of watching an episode of one the shows is to see what title will be given to Kelly during the closing credits. Fakie Tre Fakie Emanuel did not disappoint…as usual. Another really great episode by the way. Manny has such a positive, contagious vibe. How can anyone not like this dude!

[@jomarsantiago978]

Puerto Rican guy from mass. Manny is everything to us ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏

[@reza_dc2]

If Manny and Christiana have a baby , kid is going to be a beast on the board. Great interview , dude is really well spoken. I like his ambition of skating big rails in his mid 40’s, but that’s very rare. Once you hit 40 , your body changes. Shit ain’t the same , it can’t endure those type of slams.

[@UnitedShredNation]

It’s weird that she’s in her early 20’s of having a kid from a man who’s almost 40.

[@reza_dc2]

@@UnitedShredNation 12 year gap , it’s pretty common. You have men in parts of the world that are in their 50’s with mid 20 year old’s.. But yeah , I agree .. that’s weird in a sense. 12 year gap ( he’s 36 , she’s 24 ) , not that big of a deal. 20ish year gap, weird.

Shoutout to Manny for coming out of the trenches and becoming a legend in the skate community. Lowell is no joke and the Cambodian gangs don't play out there. The gang issue was a real problem and it's nice to see someone to succeed coming out of that environment 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽

[@alextrugs]

Amazing episode. Just watched the whole thing while at work LG 🤘

[@phill0406]

Manny is a legend. Shout out Justin Hogan and Thankscamera. So many underrated skaters came from the same Lowell area, the thankcamera videos are better than some pro videos out there. Growing up in mass we would go to the premieres and see these guys and trip out. They were our rockstars. Keep up killing it!
