Apparently Gino wasn’t the only one taking advantage of the warm weather yesterday. It looks like RB Umali and Yaje Popson got it in at Tompkins based on the below clip that RB posted on Instagram. We don’t know what’s better: seeing t-shirts in NY in early February, or Yaje continuing to murder the stomping grounds that were the foundation of his career. Have a look below if Instagram’s algorithm didn’t work in your favor during the past 24 hours.

Watch Sebastien Cao and Theo Meas as they shred in the streets of South America.

The video was filmed during three months of backpacking from Mexico to Costa Rica, crossing Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua.

Making it even more impressive (and a reason needs to come calling), “TUANY” was entirely filmed, edited, and animated using an iPhone with Theo and Sebastien doing the editing themselves (and some of the filming too).
