A great skate video isn't something you just watch.. it's something that takes you by surprise. It commands sheer disbelief at how a stupid-hard trick can be made to look so stylish and easy.
It's a snapshot of a never ending work in progress; a moment that removes you from the present and allows you to see how time, commitment, and influence have built up to a single moment in both boarding and cinematography. Kilian Martin's
new video with director
Brett Novak couldn't come at a better time for skateboarding. In a world where technicality seems to always overshadow style, their latest collaboration is nothing short of a revival..a patient, atmospheric illustration of freestyle extending into the realm of street skating. It is a testament to great skaters like Mullen, who always believed that the two vastly different techniques can be combined into one exceptional outcome.
It's a privilege to watch Kilian and Novak's vision of the future, and we can't wait to see what happens next.
