Slug Luv

June 14, 2017

We’re always stoked when Andy Maguire drops a video in the inbox. Here’s a new mix he put together featuring him and a few friends getting down on his old college campus that he went to. THis has a pretty laid back vibe as always, but there’s no shortage of awesome footage to take in. Hit that play button!

“It’s graduation time, so here’s an edit filmed entirely at my alma mater. UCSC is basically an Ewok village, filled with redwood trees and hill bombs. Aside from world class academics, it also has some very unique spots to session along the way. The mascot is also a banana slug. Nostalgia has a lot to do with it, but UCSC is easily one of my top 5 places to ride ever. Also, the song is on heavy rotation on the campus radio station, KZSC (which I also love). Enjoy!
