Greg Navarro and Jenkem’s video of profile of Ari Misurelli and Luca Mayer racked up over half-a-million views in less than a week.

People wanna see the youth skate. Hopefully, that makes more of ’em skate, idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“They had a trashcan fire in one of those iconic Love Park bins. It was so cold that people’s bushings were freezing up making turning impossible… They had to grab their board and leave it by this trashcan fire for five minutes, which would buy them five minutes of skating before the bushings froze back up and they had to do it again… It was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen, people everywhere.” Palace videographer, Jack Brooks, is the latest subject of the Slam City Skates blog’s “Visuals” series, in which he discusses Bill’s “Pigeon” edit, the Palace Kalis board, filming Lucien’s Palasonic part, and more.
