"Once I finally landed it
I felt like nothing else mattered in life,
I was so happy."
What was your biggest challenge filming for this video?
Well besides from trying tricks for hours and going from injury to injury, I'd have to say not being in Vancouver and being able to skate with Jarvis and all the guys in this video. Nothing is better then skating with all your friends and having a good time.
What was your biggest triumph and why?
[Laughs] man, my biggest triumph up to now would probably be the last trick I filmed in Barcelona when I was there this winter, I tried a trick for seriously 3 hours and kept eating shit harder then I ever had before. Once I finally landed it I felt like nothing else mattered in life, I was so happy.
Out of all starring skaters in the video, who do you think has the most interesting personality and why?
This video has a really good bunch of guys everyone is supper chill, but I'd have to say Lee seems to have a pretty unique personality, the type of guys who's just down for anything, for example when we did the group photo for the video we had to spell our names with a flash light in the air above us within 8 seconds, like a slow shutter speed or something, so when the photo came out whatever we had done with the flash light would appear in front of us, it was supper cool, but wasn't as easy as it sounds, cause when you can't see what your spelling everything ends up on top of each other. by the end of the night Lee was trying to write “city of new lights” all within 8 seconds and was just not going to give up until he did it, it's was hard enough to just write your name let alone 4 words, [Laughs] Lee has some skill with a flash light that's for sure.

What is going to make this video different than others?
This video has a good mix of people and styles, I don't know what will make this video much different then others but I hope it turns out well and it becomes a video that people wanna continuously watch, not just a one time thing. I hope people really like it and get stoked to watch it.
Whose part do you think will have the biggest impact and why?
I think everyone’s parts will be sick, I can't really pick one guy to out shine them all. I guess we'll have to wait and see when the video is done then i can give you my answer, but for now let's hope everyone’s part has a good impact.
