A few months ago Brian Hunter released his latest video, Slang. This VX video has a good, classic skate video feeling to it. From good B-Roll, proper filming, and great skating, it’s a good watch. Ryan Alvero closes the video … Continue reading Ryan Alvero in “Slang”
There was only one left! Thanks to Christian Alexander’s help, I got ahold of Tanner Van Vark to close out the Three Seasons interviews!
I called him up to chat about his latest part, what went into some of these clips, and how he got so good at Wallies.
🌀: Yo what’s up Tanner! Thanks for being down to chat.
Yeah for sure, no worries!
🌀: The Three Seasons video dropped a few days ago, how does it feel for it to be all done and out there?
It feels good. Pat, Gage, and I had all accumulated footage so we decided to do this project. We were planning to release it around November, but Skater Of The Year time got pretty hectic. I’m pretty stoked on the timing and everything.

To kick off our coverage of Three Seasons we caught up with Patrick Praman. There’s only one way to follow that up; catch up with another star of the show, Gage Boyle! A few days following the release of the video we hopped on a call with Gage to chat through the different premieres, signing a waiver to skate a kinked rail, working with Tim Fulton and more!
🌀: What’s up Gage!
What’s up! Good morning. How are you?
🌀: I’m good dude! How about you, how does it feel to have this project out there finally?
It feels so good to have it out! Everything went well with the premieres. I’ve been sitting on that footage for a little while, so to have it out finally and hear a good response from everyone makes me the happiest, so I’m very stoked.

Crew/homie videos are special, it’s something that I tend to gravitate towards because they feel so relatable. They cause my mind to wander and think about random skate sessions I’ve had with friends, tricks we’ve filmed, and trips we’ve been on. They’re natural; it’s friends skating together because they want to, not because they share a sponsor.
My first memory of watching a Gronze video was the Gronze Island – Episode 1 – Gran Canaria edit on Thrasher. This immediately became a video I always watched before going skating. I loved the song choices, the look of the spots, and obviously, the skaters involved. Gronze’s most recent release, TARÉ, reminded me how much I enjoy their videos, which quickly led to me rewatching their 2021 full length, Gronze World. Here’s a couple of TARÉ standouts to start it off –
The man behind it all, Max Geronzi. I always look forward to Max footage, regardless of whether he’s skating his 80’s setup or not. He came through with 2 clips in TARÉ; just enough to get me stoked while leaving me wanting more. One of them was a line ending with this Nollie Front Heel. Just look at his foot flick and wait for the board to hit it, I wish I knew what the level of control felt like. I also love that he rolled away loose like that, in my opinion it added even more flavor to the clip. Also, if you need a good laugh, watch this.
Continue reading “What’s Loopin’: Gronze”For the second installment of Revisit, I had the pleasure of catching up with JB Gillet, a true OG. JB’s career has been made up of many video parts; so we picked a handful of them to go behind the scenes on, as well as catch up on his recent injury, Hôtel de Ville, and some of his favorite skaters at the moment!
🌀: What’s up JB, how are you?
Good, good! How are you?
🌀: I’m good, thanks for being down to do this! So the point of this series is to dive into video parts throughout someone’s career, and you’ve had a fair share of your own. Let’s start with your Rodney Mullen vs Daewon Song: Round 2 part. There are clips in Lyon, SF, LA, and more in here, was this around the time you started traveling to film?
Yeah, Round 2 was the first time I was in LA. I was filming with Socrates (Leal) in LA, and I filmed with French Fred when I was in Lyon.
