It looks like Verde have a new addition to their squad from California! Here’s Rocco Giuseppe‘s welcome to the team video that’s packed full of buttery smooth grinds and plenty of style. This guy is not scared to put all four of his pegs to good use on every ledge and rail he comes across! If this guy isn’t on your radar yet, he will be after you watch this! Enjoy!

““We are pleased to welcome Rocco Giuseppe to the Verde team. Tony Neyer is the man responsible for discovering Rocco last year when he visited LA with some friends. Here are some words from Neyer.”” – Will Stroud Verde TM/Filmer

“Rocco Giuseppe is one of those kids that when they ride, no matter what he is doing from big rails to the tricky ledge lines there’s nothing but sauce all over it. Swag pouring out of this kids ears on everything he touches. Rocco has been bouncing back and forth between his home town of Fresno and my house in Hollywood stackin’ for this project and we are more than happy to welcome him to the Verde team and family.” — Tony Neyer

It’s only a matter of time before all of this new Virtual Reality stuff becomes super common and easy enough to use that everyone will start doing it. It looks like Animal Bikes are getting a jump on things thanks to a few friends with the know how on the whole VR craze kicking off. Hit play or a quick video teaser of what’s to come. This one will require you to scroll back a few times to take in everything going on, but it’s pretty cool.

“We teamed up with our friends at united-realities.com, @Glennppmilligan and @andydreadsbmx to put together a new visual experience. This video gives you the feeling you would have if you were to hang out at a session with the Animal team.

On Tuesday, June 21st we are excited to share “Riding with Animal”. A 360 video experience featuring Edwin DeLarosa, Augie Simoncini, Andrew Castaneda, Brenden Tombow, Charles Littlejohn and Rocco Giuseppe.

Since this is kind of a new experience, we wanted to share this teaser clip, so people can get a better feel for how it all works. This clip is the guys warming up at a skate park before going to ride street.
You can watch this video on your desktop computer.

You will need to use your mouse to move around in the 360 environment. On your mobile device, you’ll need to have the YOUTUBE app for the video to work. It’s well worth the experience if you haven’t played with any 360 or VR video yet. If you have VR goggles then you already know how to use this, and this will work with them!”
