Girl Skateboards asked me to make a few skits for their new video, “Doll.” Connor and I headed out there and shot two of them during one boiling day in LA. Here’s the full video:
The skits start at about 10:45 and 19:04.
State Footwear - The Felton
A fun little spot for State Footwear, using live-action stop motion. I made Kevin Coakley do hundreds of pushes, kickflips, and ollies, then compressed all that to one of each.
Music by Vince Canger.
BROTHER DEGE - Partial to the Bitters Pt. II
A film about what life remains in forgotten places.
Official music video for Partial to the Bitters Pt. II, the closing track from Brother Dege's new album, "Farmer's Almanac."

Ryan Barlow - Spirit Quest
Hyped to throw this online. I watched Barlow grow up from being a little kid in Gainesville to becoming one of the most incredible skaters I've ever known. The grasshopper has become the master...
Waltz Through Babylon - Spirit Quest Soundtrack 7" Vinyl
A lot of people have asked me about the long delay in posting a certain Spirit Quest part: Connor Kammerer's. Well... this is why....
The 7" vinyl record of the soundtrack to Connor's section is finally ready! Connor's record features a new, extended mix of the Spirit Quest Dub (which is made of looping diegetic skate sounds), and the night section's Waltz Through Babylon.
You can get the record for only 10 bucks here: connorkammerer.bigcartel.com
Additionally, I'm giving a free digital copy of the video away with each record purchase--including the theatrical cut of the video, and all bonus features.
Head over to Connor's site if you want a copy--it's a small run, so if you want one, get on it.
...And here is the part, of course.
