Skate videos drop everyday, all the time. Because of that, I feel like lots of videos quickly come and go, they’re appreciated for a day and then forgotten about. the pearl promo felt different to me, it was very clearly worked on with intention and focused on details. I’ve rewatched it a handful of times since it’s release, so it was only right to interview Griffin Gass & Alex Cooper, who filmed/edited the project, to dive into it. Give it a watch, then enjoy our conversation –

I love skating curbs, I have for years now, and it hasn’t faded away. I recently finished a slappy session and found myself going to Phil Zwijsen’s Instagram account for some inspiration, and to just enjoy his curb skating specifically.
After scrolling through his clips, I decided to reach out to Phil to see if he’d be down to do a quick interview, specifically about curbs. He was down, and here’s how the convo went –

At only the age of 19, Filipe’s accomplished quite a bit, and just last weekend, he checked off another goal: turning pro. Having known him for years, I’ve watched him push himself to get where he wants to be. We sat down to catch up about the pro surprise, his process in the streets, and to touch on the sacrifices that both he and his dad have made for him to get where he is today.

Seeing signature graphics of the iconic Spitfire Bighead is always exciting, and there’s no better person to speak to this than Andy Pitts.

This one’s special. Ed and I have known each other since elementary school and grew up skating together in the same crew through middle school and high school. We’d all watch the new videos together, we’d skate together after school, and go on missions of the weekends together, it’s an era that I know means a lot to both Ed and I, as well as everyone else in the crew.
Since then, Ed’s done so much for skateboarding, specifically the skate scene in San Diego. He’s worked at Slappy’s Garage for a handful of years, and when he’s not there, you can find him out filming or shooting photos on just about any session. As you’ll hear about in the interview below, he’s dropped two videos this year, with the most recent one being “leaveurbodyleaveurmind” which just premiered on Oct. 25th. We dove into the process of filming and editing, how it is working on a video with a big crew, and got some insight on some stand out clips. Enjoy!
