Behind the Loops: Alan Hannon & Eric Iwakura

As I’m sure you’re well aware, Primitive’s latest video offering, DEFINE., released last Sunday, June 5th. I knew I’d love this video, based on the skaters involved, and equally as important; the filmers involved. 

In all of it’s glory

I first became aware of Alan Hannon’s work during The Push Project part he did with Miles Silvas. I enjoyed seeing how they worked together, and I’ve watched that part countless times since its 2017 release. Since then, my respect for Alan’s work has continued to grow from projects like Primitive’s Encore and Fourth Quarter videos. 

Over the past few years, I became familiar with Eric Iwakura’s work, and have become a fan of what he does. I think his VX footage looks amazing, which is on display in this Trent McClung part he worked on.

It was time to round up some of my favorite loops we’ve posted recently, and give credit to the amazing videos these have been pulled from.

Miles Silvas flipping in & out from his recent “Spitfire” Part. Miles put a hurting on the infamous Macy’s ledges, while showing us that he’s got multiple variations of the Switch Flip Front Krook, and his trademarked look over the shoulder roll away. The Bay Area footage meshed so well with the two Mac Dre tracks, this one is a treat. Scope this little “Directors cut” by Eryk Burton as well, it’s dope to see what went into his Bigflip down that Sac triple set.

What’s Loopin’ – Fourth Quarter

theskateloop

Monday, November 9th, 2020. This is when Primitive’s newest masterpiece was published. From the teaser last week, to the “Deadline” video a few days before the release, I was counting down the days. You would think that with “Encore” dropping less than one year ago, it would be impossible to release something of that caliber again so quickly, especially during a year where traveling was almost out of the question.

Well, they did it. They did what seemed impossible, about 11 months after their last full length, Primitive dropped another video, and it lived up to the expectations that they have created, and in many ways exceeded them.

Here it is, in all of its beauty
