What’s this video all about? What can we expect to see in it?
We’re just a bunch of kids from the 413 doin’ what we’ve been doin. Holdin’ it down and keepin’ it real. We love skateboarding.
Where was the majority of this video filmed?
Every clip is from The Pioneer Valley.
Has skating in the Valley changed since you started skating here or is it pretty much the same?
When we were kids we had a handful of amazing spots that are no longer skate-able. So now we go out in the cuts and find shit to work with.
Who’s the crew in the video?
Garret Daly, Noah McManus, David Nelson-Hospers, Jeff Kellogg, Tom Gorelik, Anthony Mejias, Madabi Martinez, Kozo Cavalcanti, Sean Sawicki, Zachary Kaufman and a whole lot of homies we even got a clip of Karlin.
The music in the video’s pretty unique, what’s the deal with that?
The video uses tracks from two albums, The Sidewalk/Somethin’ To Spit On by Code Green and Greatest Lips by Azwan Badruzaman. Both are 413 born and raised. The music mirrors us and our skateboarding perfectly.
I hear you guys had a few major setbacks making this video, what happened?
We had this video plus a hundred tapes from as far back as 2003 imported and labeled and then Noah’s laptop and external HD got stolen which put us back to square one. That was after the computer had already crashed and we’d lost everything once. It took us all moving across the country to finally get it done.
Any crazy spot missions or shit go down while you were filming this?
Well, we inhabited an abandoned warehouse nearby, swept a couple inches of grime off the ground and, made a flawless park purely out of shit we found in the warehouse complex. We made this hip out of all scrap wood, found these perfect plastic ledges and manny pads. It was a perfect winter getaway but some little fucks found out about it and blew it up, next thing you know Garret’s life is getting threatened by two meth heads with a pitbull. So yeah, we stopped going there. Its all boarded up now anyways.. Peep the video up on the internet and all that shit. Much love N.S. represent. Peace.
