When he says get up he means not just once, but from the front of the bus to the back...on everything. Roof shots, above the driver on the visor, ripping the ads off the side panels and crushing there, and everyone's favorite spot...the back panel. Fools used to fight over the back panel! Then you get off the bus and crush outsiders. I miss them days sometimes.
Thanks, the first tag is actually a mtn94 can with a pink dot, any low pressure can for me i like to use pink dots and up. The shot of the old hardcore can had a pink dot on it. NYC fatcap on any high pressure paint is still the ultimate tagging tip, im just saying.
Thanks for all the love and hate. It lets me know that people got heart. This video wasn't about my hand styles so much but Infamous Mag wanted to know about "some" of san francisco's history in hand styles. For everyone with respect big up and its cool to see the different names for technics around the country. I also like the suggestions for new video's, I think im gonna do one or two of those. For the haters, lmfao. Why hate when you can try to inspire our culture to take over the world
You are a true open minded artist, very knowledgeable, and I love your appreciation for the creative aspect of wherever it comes from, You make me want to start a new root, thanks for the inspiration.
I just think its crazy that Europeans especially people from places like london,manchester,birmigham,even up in scotland you get a lot of LA jagged style influence and no offence its done a lot better than what people in the US do now, its as if all the material that was show to them has evolved and they manage to understand itand pull it off mega solid but make it their own, fuckk even places like moscow, prague all pull of these crazy feats of evolution on west and eastcoast styles. I think it has something to do with the internet and magazines, I remember back int he early 2000s ,I seen some proper saber type handstyles over here and I'd enever seen it doen so fuckin well and it was just local kids that where barely cutting 20 years old and the sheer grasp they had over the style and how to make it their own was through the roof.
It's because the new spray paint comes low pressure so it's easier to flare.. back in the days Krylons rustos were high pressure u did have to be quick..
Hey man, thanks for the video. good information, and some sick ass hands if i may say so lol. keep up the fresh work man. thanks again for puttin it out there for us
This dude hasn't gone out crushing in a long ass time, but he still does some of the sickest murals with Neon a lot. I wish he would make a come back, but those days are over (felony wrap in Cali if they want to).
We need more writers like APEX to show what we we really write for, the love of the game not like these new pose ass toys going out and putting up shit to get some short lived props
Well done Apex. Some Juicy Flares, and all around good stuff!.. You said you liked NY fats best; but I noticed that on your first round, you weren't using one, was that a 'Can-Killer'..--Pink or Orange dot?
A SG7 WAS THE BEST MARKER EVER IN MY OPINION SAKURA STOPPED MAKING REAL SG7'S IN THE 90'S. THEY CHANGED THE INK AND MAKE THEM WITH PLASTIC THEY ARE STILL MADE TODAY IN JAPAN BUT NOT THE SAME AS THE 80'S. THE SG7'S INK FADED SO YOU HAD TO ADD PILOT INK TO IT IN ORDER FOR IT to STAY UP FOR YEARS IN THE 80'S. THEY MADE A METALIC SILVER SG7 IN THE 80'S (FACT) IT WAS THE BEST MARKER EVER. I AM GOING TO WRITE SAKURA A LETTER. I WANT MY SG7 BACK. LONG LIVE APEX !!!
this is so dope, i've been looking for someone to finally talk about bus hopper flows and this is the best i've found. i know it's mentioned a little bit in piece by piece but i'm obsessed with the style. if anyone has any other videos talking about this style please link me, or articles.
I used too like that style i live in eu so nobody does bus hopping but i started doing it but i stoped years ago bc there is so much camras in thr buses now
i personally like the fade to the bottom ,looks raw and most cats do flares up. example 1:40. to the real writers dont listen to the oblivious ppl on these comments jus do you. evreyones names diff and i like having 4-5 diff ways and styles to tag my name i even add an O at the end sometimes ER or simplify it n take out a letter for a quik hot spot . everyones got there own style! jus rock it cuz remember that portrays who you are you gotta start the right way n get ya tagz down
@801bombartist you saying im wrong? its obviously a pink dot fat cap, look at the flares. the spray concentrates in the middle to make a dot. its not solid
Flaring is all in the wrist movement. Watch How apex performs his flares in the video and its a gradual adjustment of the wrist towards and away from the wall. As for having one cohesive flow that comes with trial and error man. PS: flares tend to be easier with a fat cap bcuz theres more spray to play with.
How do you know what hand you are because I haven't really started just yet but I have been going art work with tagging for like a year now its just I wanna hit the streets but I need a hand.
I believe what this guy is saying is true, graffiti has to be about style, your hand tagging has to look clean af, not just some ghetto letters on a wall.
yess graffiti is art and tags are a part of graffiti so tags are art to! but if you suck at writing i dont consider that art ...same if you suck at doing oil-paintings i dont consider that art either!! but it doesent matter if its art or not...when i started writing i didnt start so "make art" i started cuz i wanted to get up and i thought it was fun!
Skills for real homeboy.Your ability to fade & write in so many styles makes u one of my fav artist. Keep it up G.
These tags are terrible dude 😂😂
respect to the heads who paved the way
One of my favorite graffiti writer
idc how many times ive seen it he has some of the sickest handstyles
he seems very well educated in the sense that he knows exactly what hes talking about and it makes it obvious hes been perfecting the art for years.
the only ones calling him a toy are only toys themselves!! APEXER IS FUCKING LEGEND
the dude seems like a handstyle genius
I was smiling the whole time!
Awesome video. Loved the slow motion and black and whit effects. He covered alot of ground with the history and future of tagging. Big up Apex.
amazing can control!
t å g
perfect video.
perfect scenery.
perfect subiect.
perfect handstyles
perfect story
perfecy writer
even perfrct voice.

writers are some of the most relevant people on this planet .. I feel like I understand them the most
Thanks,

APEXERLABS you are the best
Insane handstyles! Awesome work man.
amazing. flares, story, teaching, everything. respect, respect, respect.
Apexer Got Me In Too Doing Flares and One Liners. 🔥 since 2016.
this guy just said what i have been thing lately at many times
Over the top respect ✊ for the homie, dopest hands around
You are a true open minded artist, very knowledgeable, and I love your appreciation for the creative aspect of wherever it comes from, You make me want to start a new root, thanks for the inspiration.
this guy is so dope got his sign in my blackbook today at pow wow hawaii! one of the best!!!
no matter how many times you watch this video.. shit stays fresh! APEX BEAST
so dope .... one of the videos on yt i look at again and again.
I just think its crazy that Europeans especially people from places like london,manchester,birmigham,even up in scotland you get a lot of LA jagged style influence and no offence its done a lot better than what people in the US do now, its as if all the material that was show to them has evolved and they manage to understand itand pull it off mega solid but make it their own, fuckk even places like moscow, prague all pull of these crazy feats of evolution on west and eastcoast styles.

Absolutely informative and inspiring. How come more dudes that really know what's up aren't dropping knowledge like Apex in this video?
shit i always thought flair tag was done quickly that's why i fucked up all of them lol
Remember its still hard n shoud use fat cap
It's not Flair .. RICK FLAIR ... It is Flare ...
CouchPotatoNexTdooR
That's right sorry
It's because the new spray paint comes low pressure so it's easier to flare.. back in the days Krylons rustos were high pressure u did have to be quick..
Flaring is corny. It’s when you don’t mean to flare but it comes out in the letter is when it’s epic. Don’t flare your shit to much
Sick video... took me back! Been years since I wrote.
the flow he has in his writing is crazy. good shit
Hey man, thanks for the video. good information, and some sick ass hands if i may say so lol.
keep up the fresh work man. thanks again for puttin it out there for us
He's using 3 different caps in this clip... NY fat, pink dot, and a Montana copy of the universal german outline

his flares are amazing
I don't know why, but i love to watch how people tagging, also Apex have a dope style :D

This dude hasn't gone out crushing in a long ass time, but he still does some of the sickest murals with Neon a lot. I wish he would make a come back, but those days are over (felony wrap in Cali if they want to).
We need more writers like APEX to show what we we really write for, the love of the game not like these new pose ass toys going out and putting up shit to get some short lived props
@APEXERLABS that was definitely the best answer to all the haters , haters gonna hate, that's life

perfect advice on flares. dude is on his shit
Nice can control.

Well done Apex. Some Juicy Flares, and all around good stuff!.. You said you liked NY fats best; but I noticed that on your first round, you weren't using one, was that a 'Can-Killer'..--Pink or Orange dot?
Great vid. What cap did he use in the first tag?
Yoo this dude is Legit, Wordd up Apex you are the Man!!
Tag he's doing at 4.00 is spot on, so good
It's Montana's copy of the universal german outline.
Fck and Fn are those gnarly crews with them killer hand styles
I LOVE APEX !!! THE MAYOR OF SAN FRANCISCO SHOULD GIVE HIM THE KEY TO THE CITY !! HE IS A LEGEND AND ONE OF THE BEST ARTISTS EVER !!!
love this video!
Inspirational man
wow amazing interview.... so much knowledge. realness
A SG7 WAS THE BEST MARKER EVER IN MY OPINION SAKURA STOPPED MAKING REAL SG7'S IN THE 90'S. THEY CHANGED THE INK AND MAKE THEM WITH PLASTIC THEY ARE STILL MADE TODAY IN JAPAN BUT NOT THE SAME AS THE 80'S.
THE SG7'S INK FADED SO YOU HAD TO ADD PILOT INK TO IT IN ORDER FOR IT to STAY UP FOR YEARS IN THE 80'S. THEY MADE A METALIC SILVER SG7 IN THE 80'S (FACT) IT WAS THE BEST MARKER EVER. I AM GOING TO WRITE SAKURA A LETTER. I WANT MY SG7 BACK. LONG LIVE APEX !!!
writting since 3rd grade thats fuckin amazing
Started at 9 yrs old, as well. 87. Now a dinosaur, ashamed while gettin' arrested for it. Keep goin' youngins'!!!
Again in 5:39 same tag I'm really curious to how you do this
this is so dope, i've been looking for someone to finally talk about bus hopper flows and this is the best i've found. i know it's mentioned a little bit in piece by piece but i'm obsessed with the style. if anyone has any other videos talking about this style please link me, or articles.
I used too like that style i live in eu so nobody does bus hopping but i started doing it but i stoped years ago bc there is so much camras in thr buses now
dam apex does hax a dope hand style, is that all san francisco hand style?
i personally like the fade to the bottom ,looks raw and most cats do flares up. example 1:40. to the real writers dont listen to the oblivious ppl on these comments jus do you. evreyones names diff and i like having 4-5 diff ways and styles to tag my name i even add an O at the end sometimes ER or simplify it n take out a letter for a quik hot spot . everyones got there own style! jus rock it cuz remember that portrays who you are you gotta start the right way n get ya tagz down
swear I think this guy is the best fuckin wildstyler ever. His wildstyles are too fuckin insane.
my god ive been trying to do a philly style tag fr the longest...you mastered it
Yo this is not philly style this is san francisco style
you inspire me apex, your the flare tag is sick!
there needs to be more videos like thiss
What cap did you use for the flares? gorgeous.
@801bombartist you saying im wrong? its obviously a pink dot fat cap, look at the flares. the spray concentrates in the middle to make a dot. its not solid
Shit is 🔥 and I couldn't agree more
That flare is bomb with the frowney face. Toys, take notes
I love your handstyle
He speaks the truth......Good shit!!
Omfg the flares! Too fucking dope.
old school lvl now caps are made for this - we ran with what we had OG;s
Philly still gets mention even in sunny San Francisco
Philli tags and throwies are the shit, love doing them...
@ 4:40 that is one of the sickest flares i have seen. they are proper flares!
Flaring is all in the wrist movement.
Watch How apex performs his flares in the video and its a gradual adjustment of the wrist towards and away from the wall.
As for having one cohesive flow that comes with trial and error man.
PS: flares tend to be easier with a fat cap bcuz theres more spray to play with.
you are the real apex
gotta love the bay
sick handstylee and flaress !
Honestly the only handstyles that I like in this video are the flare tags.. But good skills Apex.
sf and la beef gots to drop
LA all the way , but San Fran is a lot nicer than la tho
LA ALWAYS HAD DOPER HANDS MORE CLEAN STYLE THAN SLOPPY SHIT
Inspiring.....Im on it.

We have tramway hopping in slovakia, people just get a shit ton of stealth ink and sometimes just hop around different trams for sometimes 5 hours

How do you know what hand you are because I haven't really started just yet but I have been going art work with tagging for like a year now its just I wanna hit the streets but I need a hand.
sarcasm?.. lol.. oh man.. I LOVE it when some people get caught up in their stupidity and claim it's sarcasm. Good one bro!
thankx for the tip preciate it
Best video on the internet
Those fades are ridiculous
I believe what this guy is saying is true, graffiti has to be about style, your hand tagging has to look clean af, not just some ghetto letters on a wall.
Dang, so dope!
yess graffiti is art and tags are a part of graffiti so tags are art to!
but if you suck at writing i dont consider that art ...same if you suck at doing oil-paintings i dont consider that art either!!
but it doesent matter if its art or not...when i started writing i didnt start so "make art" i started cuz i wanted to get up and i thought it was fun!
