At a time when every skate video so proudly wears the sum of its influences, it can be hard to put why something feels different into words.
Yardsale’s first project, The YS Video, came out over five years ago, and in the time since — through sizable roster shifts and all — the brand has managed to keep and evolve a singular ~feel~. Yes, the inspirations are out on the sleeve, but it exists at this unlikely crossroad of a smooth, dreamlike neon haze, and sophisticatedly chaotic skateboarding: teamriders with very distinct arms, a trademark jittery HD lensmanship not often seen in our era of “roll-up face,” and so many spots where the landing is a dice-roll through cobblestones, dirt and whatever else.
