We begin with our first premiere in historic Los Feliz, an idyllic setting for a movie night
Uncle Neck is there! Luckily, Neckface hates heckling, so I was glad he brought his typical bubbly cheerfulness to the premiere.
Industry nerds – I mean, titans! Colin Kennedy, Eric Swisher, The Mez and Nate Coffman are here to keep an eye on where skating stands in 2024
The crowd is gradually evening out, at least in terms of age. Molly, Stephen, Lucas, Shane and Ethan
Ron Parker uses his “in-the-video” status to request ten tickets for a 60-seat theater
The boss comes, the fear increases
Another Baker Boy on site: Ron Parker with Mike Gigliotti
A few of the LA stars featured in the video. It must be a crazy feeling to show up for the first part of the video. Mingus Gamble and Shane Farber finally get to see their clips a second time.
Wow! MC IRL
You need to get a hug from your old boss
Looks like Spanky altered this photo, but unfortunately he wasn’t there
Nick Michel, former player of Carroll, Gigliotti and Lotties, sneaks in
Jay Bone brings his typical calming energy. Thankful for that
I had to take a photo with the star of the show for Dayz
Okay, we made it in and we’re overloaded. Thanks for sitting on the floor, Carroll!
I always have something really good in mind for these moments and without exception I wander off
I’m sure there will be words of thanks and greetings for days to come. That’s enough!
Okay, let’s start the show
Twenty minutes seems like an eternity to me these days! It was a nice feeling when that appeared on the screen
Front, after the show, with the Gamble family. Interesting fact: Mingus is actually the second most famous Gamble in this picture
The girl family was also there to support the Gambles: Manch, Rickk, Mez, Smyth, Carroll and OG Girl boss Johannes Gamble!
That’s it for LA! Off to London
Landed in England, and apparently our backdrop is this atmospheric black and white mood
Adam Hunter and Jack Brooks from Palace are the first to arrive
VIP area with a view of the point
Dime Boys were in town from Montreal. I love how skating works like that
Josh Wilson somehow made it too? With Gareth Skewis, Phil Lavoie and Torey Goodall. Greetings, New Jersey, South Africa, Montreal and Vancouver
This is Michael J Fox from iPath Summer Preview 2005 Video fame with the mind behind Palace’s incredibly creative visuals Stuart Hammond and the mother of my unborn child Adwoa! Strong crew
I didn’t know these guys, but they were a great time. I also heard good things about the girls from Sweden
Video star Matlok Bennett-Jones shows Casper Brooker what is likely to be some of his most notable winning runs at competitions in Sheffield
What the hell?! I’m pretty sure Nikolai is simultaneously here in London, in Baker Park, in Copenhagen on Red Square, at Lot 11 in Miami and today in LA filming a WKND sketch. But strangely, no Za
Friends smoking cigarettes everywhere, just beautiful
Jamie Platt and Matlok, booted
Phil, Vince, Josh, Big Sexy, Hugo, Torey and Lloyd. What’s a synonym for “squaded”, Alex?
I can’t say if it’s just the black and white photos, but people in London seem to have a sexier side compared to those in LA.
Casper with Kelly and Tom Knox. Simply wonderful
Matlok with Lost Art/NB Numeric/The North’s legendary representative Dave Mackey
Had to take a photo with the English star of the video. Don’t miss Matlok, Internet!
Okay, it’s time to move the party indoors
Everyone seems ready. Thank goodness I’m taking these photos and not one of me giving another rambling speech!
I always enjoy meeting Charlie. His stuff is some of my favorites in the video
Oh shit, we’re in color!
The nerves begin to calm down. The crowd seemed to enjoy it
Kyron and Mackey don’t want to leave! I’m flattered guys, but I also rent this place by the hour and it’s a little over my budget looking at the seats
You know how the rest of the night went with this London crew. Cheers to everyone who came out to London and LA. It really meant the world to me. Stay tuned for the video coming soon!
