How old are you and where are you from?

What’s up I’m 22 and from West Chester, PA.

There’s a big difference in length between this video and your last video, “Anywhere But There.” What made you cut this one shorter?

Basically I wanted a smaller video so I could more easily direct my focus on the spots and keep the project’s pace. “ABT” definitely wore me out and so I  felt scattered in time. Told myself after that to only give it a year tops for the next one.

That’s sick because one of the things that stood out to me were the spots in the video. Were there any videos or filmers that inspired you to make “Marinate”?

Thanks man. I put a lot of time into biking around. Fuck I mean anyone who has been putting in the work to make full videos still, Mulhern, Zack Saes, Tracy G, Joe O, AJ. I really like the stuff Quasi has been putting out, Daniel Dent’s videos, and B-More energy videos are tight.

Is there a reason you decided on making it all black and white?

Initially for continuity within the skating and locations. Then I wanted to incorporate some parts like the titles/credits with a fuck ton of color stimulation which contrasted the b&w better.

Any particular moment in the video that stands out to you? Something like a favorite clip or your favorite day of filming?

It was funny watching Kade just slam the shit out of the chicken on the table and throwing a bunch of random seasoning on it. Wasn’t much of a marination process but we still ate. Skate wise there’s a line of my roommate Tyler at a mini golf course that has to be one of my favorites. We’ve talked about skating the little pond on the course the past four winters when it’s drained, so it was nice to finally check that one off. Got the clip right before the boot too. Fuck, also the last clip in the video where Paris wallrides the burger sign at Checkers. We had to go back for that a few times because the drive thru line would always pile up, blocking the run up. Funny hearing the orders in the course of filming that. Got that one on the boot too. Owners came out and saw a bunch of holes in their plastic burger sign and tried to get pictures of my plates.

Do you have any shoutouts?

Shoutout to anyone who’s let me film them, Eat and Upchuck for songs in the video, Keith, Shane, Lola, Leddy, Efron, Paris, Skate Jawn, Checkers, and super citizens who constantly feel the need to take photos of my plates.
