“The media is so quick and fast now that people expect something everyday so you can kind of get lost in filming a three-year project, but it’s good to see the final thing. I mean; I feel proud to be part of this video just because of how many people are in it.”

Joey Guevara Interview & AWS Detroit Footage Log
“People that knew Alien weren’t backing it. It is nearly impossible to bring back the same feel with all new dudes. Some people are just really stoked to be skating the boards again. I think we may have the chance to get a new generation of kids psyched. I’m happy that Hill has got the brand back and product has been looking good. It’s good to bring everything back to its roots.”
Tom Knox on ‘Vase’ & Isle Skateboards
“He’s such a big part of it, we’re just skaters and obviously we have our parts but Jake created this whole thing. We all make up a part of Isle and a part of this video but without Jake it’s just a load of footage jumbled up somewhere.”
Josh Wilson & Dick Rizzo on Quasi Skateboards, New York City and Bronze56K
“I wasn’t sure what I would have been able to do on my skateboard that could’ve impressed the fan base’s idea of a new guy on Chocolate so when Quasi came along it felt right to join something that was brand new.” – Dick Rizzo
Jeff Grosso – Vans 50th Anniversary
“As far as shoes brands… No actually, as far ANY company in skateboarding goes – I don’t give a shit if you’re Independent Trucks, Spitfire Wheels… Fucking Nike, whoever the fuck you think that you are. Right, nobody has done for skateboarding like Vans has done for skateboarding.”
Omar Hassan – Vans 50th Anniversary
“Mark Gonzales really taught me what skateboarding was about, which was street skating and transition skating; it’s all just skateboarding an you do your own thing.”
Chris Rusell – Vans 50th Anniversary
“Tuck and roll and hope for the best, stay relaxed and fucking pray. Pray you don’t die.”
Tony Trujillo – Vans 50th Anniversary
“Mic-E Reyes was good, he kind of took care of me when everyone else was going nuts and I’m fourteen years old just watching all this shit go down.”
Catching Up with Vincent Alvarez
“The process has been a lot different considering that the line up isn’t as big as it was for Pretty Sweet. I feel like it’s more of a tight squad whenever we meet up and go out to skate. I would really like to film a lot more lines with this part. That’s what I’ve always enjoyed filming-wise; to show how I skate, not so much what tricks I can do.”
Eric Koston Interview
“I came up during the era of nobody really giving a fuck about what you did beyond what was filmed and seen on videos. Now you have got to be considerate of who is seeing all aspects of what you do as a public figure. You’ve got to remember that there are kids who look up to you. You have to think about that, there’s a responsibility there. “
