What’re you guys up to?
What’s up man? Our boy Josh Foisey is here, we’re at his house doing the final review for the video.
Who all filmed and edited the video?
Myself, I’m Ryan, Brad Larsen is next to me, we run the company. And Josh, he’s our main video guy. He’s an expert, he also skates. He has a part in the video too.
You three all will have parts?
Yeah, me and Brad will kinda share a part. We’ve got skateboard tricks in it. It’s nothing compared to these guys. They’re jumping on rails and shit. I’m chillin on that now.
Where are you guys based out of?
We’re in Boston. I don’t know if you guys know Boston but I’m in Somerville.
Where was the video filmed? Was most of it around Massachusetts?
Yeah, pretty much all over New England. Some of our crew is from near New Hampshire, close to the border of Mass and New Hampshire. John and Cole are from Ipswich, Hunter is from North Andover, and we’re in Somerville. We traveled around in and around Boston and all the surrounding suburbs. We took trips to New York, Albany, Philly, we went to Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, most of New England.
What was your favorite part of filming the video?
Brad: My favorite thing was going to Philadelphia, also Albany was pretty sick. In Albany Nick Gavotsos joined the team. Nick was like the veteran on the team. He’s pretty seasoned. It was his first team trip so he went pretty hard and stacked. Everybody was vibing off that. We partied pretty hard. We warned all the young guys to not trash the hotel room, and then all the older guys got smashed and trashed the hotel room. We woke up in the morning. There was blood on the bed because Nick had been getting bloody eating shit all day. There was pizza and what looked like puke on the floor. It was a good bonding experience.
I saw you guys have some new boards out? I saw Dylan Goldberger has that graphic?
We’ve been working with Dylan since the start. I worked with Dylan at a previous company. Obviously we love what he does with Coda and other companies. We wanted a Dylan graphic from the start. The latest series that we did is “The Iconic Spot.” We’ve got three artists. One is Adam O’Day, he’s an oil on canvas artist. Dylan did the Brooklyn Banks, it’s fucking sick. We had him do a mirror image of the Banks with the water. We try to use water imagery with most of our graphics. Through the back catalog you’ll see a water theme throughout it. We’ve always worked with Dylan but we wanted to hire some other artists too, and for them to kinda represent their spot. They all had some kind of connection to skateboarding. The third one is from San Francisco, he does Embarcadero. That’s Matthew Stansell. He did a painting of Pablo Ramirez after he passed. He’s super cool and he rips on the board. It was to pay homage to these spots from our era.
When is the video dropping?
The 15th of November. We’re hyped to get it out.
