What's the deal with this new video? Tell us a bit about it, what we can expect etc?
I originally started LA* with the intention of it reflecting what it's like to skate down The Level each day, but I quickly realised that would make for a pretty depressing video. Obviously there are gonna be comparisons with 'Brighten' but the standard that Slim set is ridiculous and so rather then try and match him I've tried to make LA* a lot more lighthearted and different as I can. I hope people don't take LA* too seriously.
Who's in it?
Ermmm, I've actually lost track of who has parts, lots of people are sharing parts and nothing is finalised yet. At the moment the people with full sections are; Isaac Miller, Jake Wisdom, Joe Lewis-Collins, Amir Williams, Leon Karakashian, Jacob Walls, George Terry, Niall Birnie and Louis Cooper. Shit, reading that back now thats actually quite alot of sections haha. Oh yeah and Ollie Smith and Finn CK have a joint part. So that's 10. Maybe I will have to scrap someone haha (Leon).
How long has it been in production for?
10 months so far. I want it to be like '1 year in the life of Brighton skateboarding'. If that makes sense.
Who's been MVP so far, who's put in the most work for the vid?
Cob is ALWAYS pestering me to get footage I swear he lives off it, he's gonna have a sick section when I finally find a tune for him. Same with Zak, he's a footage machine.
What are you hoping might come from this vid? For you, the skaters, the Brighton scene or anything else?
Would be nice if some of the younger generation got recognised, I still can't understand why Zak doesn't have a proper sponsor.
Do you have enough goon footage yet?
Yeah it should be interesting at the premier haha
If your parents forced you to move to portland road, would you stay true to your routes or just bum out at goon?
Probably join the West Pier Army, heard their killing it.
How useless has Smith been in filming a part?
Smiths a cunt.
Any disasters or funny incidents happen through the course of filming?
Yeah Smith managed to put a nice big scratch across my fisheye. Cunt.
Give me a funny Leon story
Urghh ha depends on your definition of funny really. At one point his entire part was just him flapping his cock around but I've changed all that now, its alot more sophisticated.
Who's upcoming to watch out for in the Level scene?
Josh Douglas AKA Mason
Any details on the release date / premier?
I actually rang up this morning to book it, it's gonna be at the Sallis Benney (same place as Brighten and Wet Sussex). Looks like the earliest its gonna be free is 14th November. Hopefully I will confirm it tomorrow!
Updates and news on the premier will be posted as soon as they're heard. Thanks to Ed for the words, and check out this pic of Jake Wisdom carcass tossing up in LDN in aid of the video.
