Andy Maguire uploaded a throwback from 2011.

One really cool part about filming videos, is years later you can look back on them and remember the way things were, and how much has changed since. Andy Maguire re-uploaded this video that he originally made back in 2011 (and we posted at the time) and even after 14 years it’s still a real good watch even with so much changing in that time. Hit play and take it all in!

“This is probably the first edit I made that captured the Santa Cruz riding vibe, though it may not have been completely intentional. The line up of riders, the spots, and of course the Boardwalk B-roll transports me back to when I really started to appreciate the beach town tourist trap that I’ve called home for the last 20 years. I feel like many of my edits have lent themselves to the rider, tricks, spots, or song but I feel like this one really did the scene justice, highlighting Santa Cruz as an important backdrop rather than merely a name on a map. One of the rare instances when the sequel is actually better than the original. This was also a great excuse to go on a date with my girlfriend (now wife) to the Boardwalk and borrow her flip cam.”

“This is a Country Clubbin’ exclusive offer, saving you $5 per person to digitally experience the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk’s Giant Dipper. This roller coaster was constructed in 1924 and has been featured in a number of hit movies, including The Lost Boys and Dangerous Minds. You must be over 50″ tall to view, and preferably not a barney. Tourist season is out, but the edits keep washing up to shore. Featuring many familiar faces from Santa Cruz and a handful of tourists, Where’s the Beach, Bro? Volume 2 will surely be a memorable experience upon your visit to the Country Clubbin’ Blogspot.” – Andy Maguire
