We got word of this one via our homie Gabriel at Cybercafé in Lisbon. Obviously, much of the Portugal-related stuff we post is centered around … Cybercafé and Lisbon, but they wouldn’t be one of the planet’s finest skateshops if they didn’t have a pulse on what was going on outside of their immediate view.
Stick around long enough, and you’ll notice how things happening remind you of things that happened. In Ryuhei Kitazume‘s new part, you might clock the peak-Transworld video style voiceover waxing poetic about the magic of ledges like it’s Kalis talking about Love in ’96, the Y2Kish jump-cut editing reminiscent of The Reason, or the music video that cuts halfway into the part. But Shinpei Ueno and the minds at Tightbooth have always ran this style.
No, the thing reminiscent of another time is that they’re trying to make a skate video feel Big. Or at least Bigger than they’ve felt in a while.
Don’t forget: we are hosting a Longer Ledge Jam @ Tompkins with Adidas this Wednesday, September 30 from 4 P.M. onwards. Cash for tricks. Flyer here 🌊
Videographer Simone Rocca just dropped his Rome scene video, AWFUL BLISS, which him and his crew spent the past five years filming for 🇮🇹
Anyone having any issue on the curb clearance could rest assured in the fact that, A) it went to the timeline, B) has anyone gotten higher off the big bank? C) just like, ugh, be quiet ;)
Otherwise, snow tricks in September (winter preview!), Zered (!), and … the hardflip.
Our dear friends up at Orchard in Boston just dropped their most fully realized project of the Ted Purtell era. Word was it was supposed to go live last week (would’ve made it quite a week to be dropping an east coast shop vid with the word “bone” in the title 🙃), but people were insisting on one-upping their premiere night enders. A good problem to have if you’ve ever sat shotgun to a filmer who’s sighed “the video’s done when ___ gets their ender” across multiple months ;)
