SERGIO KOSCO™ Summer Updates!

 Our Summer plans took a detour, SERGIO KOSCO™  release has been pushed back once again. Yes, we're sorting out a few details about products and it's taking longer than expected on headquarters to be completed.

We're also waiting on some items to be moved out so the ink dryer can be moved in, and SERGIO KOSCO™ will be 90% ready to roll. More humps in the road than we expected but this delay motivated the brand and it's supporters to keep it pushing.

Some SERGIO KOSCO™  branded items have been in production for photoshoots and website updates, but making sure the brand is presented right is "priceless."

 SERGIO KOSCO™ is on the brink of becoming a full scale Global Skateboard, BMX, and Extreme sports brand. Our vision is dedicated to providing unique Extreme fashion to every Skateboard, BMX, and Extreme sport rockstar. Looking to express themselves in the unforeseen extreme lifestyle of  SERGIO KOSCO™.

“Hello My Friend”

 “Hello my Friend” is directed, filmed and edited by Charles Lanceplaine with additional filming credits due to Anthony Claravall, and it features the slick moves and heroic exploits of Cyres Wong, Jay Meador, Dan Leung, Keng Qu, Alex Hwang and Blackie over a two-week trip in Asia.

SERGIO KOSCO™// Joshua Beckemeyer// Ricky Moseley

SERGIO KOSCO™ as a brand made real growth this week, Cory B. is destine to get our printing station up and running as soon as possible. After a few bumps in the road we welcomed back Ricky Moseley to Memphis,TN, who now lives in Anaheim,CA, to shoot some footage for the brand.

Joshua Beckemeyer was on scene to bailout the team, we had alot of issues with finding a film/edit guy after Wes took a job with the minor league baseball team the Memphis Redbirds as a camera man.

I had lunch with Ricky the day before the shoot and he mentioned "Beck" who's a mutual friend and a 8:30 AM time was set. From start to finish Ricky nailed tailwhips, backflips, and jumped some wide gaps.

Ricky choose the red SK SERGIO KOSCO™ tee to wear for this film session, which will be on sale with other SK branded items June 1st. "Don't Blink"
