When I started making [Epicly Later’d], I remember Vice wanted to put music in my show, which is what I was trying to avoid—those kind of lifestyle cues. Have like a rap song or a Rancid song to communicate skate culture, which I didn’t like. I was like, “I don’t want to sell this as some kind of lifestyle.” You know when you’d watch a skateboarding contest on television, there’d be some dude with a crooked hat, and he’d be like, “We’re here in the skateboard chill room with these radical dudes,” and they would talk in this stupid voice about what they are doing. It was so lifestyle. Whereas, if you were watching the Olympics or baseball, nobody is in the dugout being like, “Yo, we’re with these super fresh baseball players.”

I wanted to elevate it and take it that seriously like we were talking about an art or a sport, or something that should be taken seriously or treated with reverence, and not like we were talking about some juvenile activity.

Directors Commentary + Extras at symirroretry.com - Five entities established in skateboarding share concepts of individuality, limitation, and knowledge learned from a constant evolving culture. A culture eternally cycling, dying, and rebirthing. Forced down dead end pathways by powerful business entities. Manipulated of progression through decensitized internet labyrinths. Two symmetrical beings, parallel in thought, know only that of which is seen. Controlled by a vivid entity yet handicapped by a lack of capacity of free thought and expression. No ambition? No spirit and fulfillment? Paintings of inner reflection. Still, immovable, and wondering; “What is my love and passion?” A documentary expressing the ‘artist’ journey of becoming. A parallel narrative supporting sentiment of fighting against conformity. A contribution of thought challenging comprehension and expansion. The story of symmetrical mirrors, formed as one entity.

Skate Rock RULES!!! Thrasher Magazine: Blast From The Past and Present

80′s Hardcore & Skateboarding have always been connected, ever since I can remember! Ask almost any old-school head how they got around town in the 80′s, and they will say skating. Thrasher Magazine, from day one, was a part of the punk scene. It got to the point where these two...
