I met RB years ago when I got on Zoo. He moved from Texas to go to film school & learn about film. From there, he created some of the dopest east coast skate videos out. Mixtape, Peep This, Est and NY Revisited to name a few. I've always been psyched on filming with him because he used to be a pro skater so he knows what he is doing. When you think of a work hard, play hard type person, RB is that dude. He always owns the pool table at Max Fish and is always down for a good time. Yet, he will still wake up early the next day and get shit done. He's a hustler. Not only does he film skateboarding but he also has a lot of side projects that he is always working on. RB is also a sick DJ. When ever I have a question about a new gadget, he is the guy I always call first. He is always up to date on the newest tech stuff. RB Umali is an all around good dude and one of my greatest friends.
