On this episode of 10 FROM BACK WHEN: We have 10 bangers from San Diego's own Brandon Turner. Brandon is by far one of the most gifted skaters I have ever had the privilege of filming. Here is an interesting fact: while he was riding up to the Carlsbad gap, he kinda messes up pushing and I almost stopped recording because my tape was running low, I thought he was gonna turn back and try it again. Luckily I kept recording because that is by far one of the gnarliest tricks I have ever filmed. - shockus

NETWORKing with ANTHONY AMEDORI

JH-How did this upcoming Machotaildrop screening in Long Beach come together?
AA: To be completely honest I have no idea. I just saw the flyer on the éS site. I'm just grateful that it's out there and people are able to see it.
Where and when is it going to be exactly?
It's tonight,9-12 in Long Beach, CA at the Art Theater of Long Beach at 2025 East 4th street.

Do you keep in touch with Vanessa Guide a.k.a. 'Sophie' or anyone else from the cast of Machotaildrop?
Yeah I do. Vanessa was just in town and I got to hang out with her for a bit. I haven't really talked to anyone else that much, kind of been doing my own thing lately.
Did you get to bring home any keepsake items from the set of the movie, costumes or anything like that?
Yeah I have alot of stuff. I have my hometown outfit, Walter's bag, a bunch of medals, Walter's board, Machotaildrop boards. We cut out a scene where we made a Frank Gerwer nose and we molded it on me. I have that. Frank Gerwer's nose is in my closet.
How would one aspire to "smell like a pro", what would be your best advice?
Take a bath.
Have you watched Harvey Spannos before? Was that part of your homework for researching the role of Walter Rhum?
Yeah of course I've seen Harvey Spannos. He has a cameo in the film Machotaildrop as well.

Last time we met you were on crutches at the Upland screening of Machotaildrop, how did you get hurt?
I broke the tibia in my ankle for the 3rd time in 3 years. I came down like a hot pocket and my ankle pretty much just gave out on me. It's not as bad as all the others so i should be back in about 3-4 months.
What have you been doing to stay busy since your injury went down?
I've been trying to stay at home as much as possible because I'm always out skating. Spending time with my family and my dogs. I still go skate and be moral support. I like going to Brooklyn Projects on Melrose and hang out with those guys and watch people shred the ramp. Good times over there.
When did you get involved with Ashbury? Who's behind that sunglasses company and when did they originate?
Nima Jalali and Lance Hakker. We also have a big snowboard team and we make goggles. All my friends ride for Ashbury and are good friends with Nima. One day my friend Cho Pak said Nma was down to put me on and asked if I wanted to go down there the next day. So we did and he started flowing me and I've been riding for Ashbury for over a year now.

Can you tell the story about when you were trying to barge your way into the Flip video premiere a while back?
It's not that crazy. They were being real dicks about tickets and stuff. I finally get in and I guess the security guard saw me, gave me the boot. I waited outside for a while, switched my shirt around and got in seconds before the intro.

Who usually wins in a game of skate between you and your brother, and what's his name?
His name is John Patrick Amedori. I'd probably win just because he doesn't skate as much as I do. He kills it and has smooth style. His favorite skater is Nate Jones.
Worst chore to do around the house, in your opinion?
Probably cleaning the bathroom or cleaning up dog shit.
Do you have a job or anything right now?
I was working at the shop I ride for, Val Surf for a while. i wanted to finish my video part so I just started focusing on that. Now I'm just chilling healing this ankle.
You mentioned having a new video part in the works, is that going to be coming out anywhere in particular soon?
I'm not sure where it's going to come out. I was filming my video part and I was almost finished. Now that I can't film anymore I'm just going to come out with it. I don't want to sit on it and get old. Might as well just throw it out there.
Got any big plans for the holidays? What're some items on your gift wish list?
No big plans. Eat some food and enjoy the day with my family and friends. No wish list. Just some cardigans from the thrift store or something like that.
What do you forsee the new year will hold for you personally, and also skateboarding in general?
A fully healed ankle and a new video part. Gotta work on finding a board sponsor. Just want to travel, be happy, and enjoy what life has in store for me. I'm ready for the ride. Life is a rollercoaster.
This is probably more of a Corey Adams/Alex Craig question, but what are the chances of there ever being a sequel to Machotaildrop, if you had to guess?
I don't think a sequel, but keep your eyes and ears peeled for a Manwolfs project in the future.

Would you like to thank some folks to end this interview or end with any kind of wild battle cry to stoke out any shredders reading here?
I want to thank my mother, father, brother, Val Surf, UnderGround Wheel Co, Sac, Ashbury, Erick Sandoval, Chad Fernandez, Alex Craig, Corey Adams, the rest of the Machotaildrop crew. Also everyone that has supported me and helped me get to where i am today. SkateBoarding is lifelessness.
