the man himself
Yes, Jesse Alba is the son of OG skateboarding legend, Steve (“Salba”) Alba, but that doesn’t mean he’s hanging on to his daddy’s cheetah-printed kneepads to make a name for himself. His stand-out parts in \m/ and Cosmic Vomit 2 prove he’s more than just a veteran’s son with colored griptape and a bleached mohawk. And as for his musical tastes, well, they’re just as eclectic and filled with feel-good vibes as his tricks and his ‘fits would have you believe.

Alba came through! One of my favorites so far, each song made me laugh thinking about how young I am to have been to little to understand these songs as a kid.
