My Info

Name:	Brandon Westgate
Nickname:	B
Lives In:	Wareham, Massachusetts United States
Hometown:	Wareham, Wareham United States
Age:	20
Birthday:	February 15, 1989
Gender:	Male
Description:	Born on February 15, 1989 in Wareham, Massachusetts, this full-time student, East Coaster and skateboarder for the new millennium started pushing wood in the year 2000 in his driveway on a simple little box and flat bar. Although things have certainly progressed from there, it all remains simple and fun for Brandon, thanks to early influence from the legendary Gonz and one of skateboarding's most enduring documents of style and good times, Blind's Video Days.These days, you can often find Brandon traversing the Eastern seaboard, skating and filming. When he's not doing that, he usually spends his off-board hours hanging out with friends and girls, eating at Wendy's and listening to Biggie Smalls. Upon casual acquaintance, your view of Brandon may be that of a soft-spoken thinker and observer who lets his skating do the talking, but once you get to know him, you better beware of that wicked sense of humor.

Zoo York's much anticipated new skate flick, State of Mind, premiered the other night in New York City to three packed showings. The sidewalk in front of the theater was lined with members of the local skate scene, visiting West Coasters there for Skate Weekend, and randoms who happened to stumble upon it.

I had arrived in The Big Apple earlier that day, so you know I was going to check it out. There was so many people there, and the theater was huge, so everyone got a chance see the steazy ripping. I actually forgot how good the Zoo team is. East coast legends like Aaron Suski, Zered Basset and Donny Barley, mixed with some newer faces like Brandon Westgate, Chaz Ortiz and Ron Deily, made the video legit. I'd have to say my three favorite sections were Zared, Brandon and Suski. It was also cool to see footage of Chaz not on a contest course. There's a trailer and some photos I took from the night below:
