symirroretry (full length documentary film)!

before you watch this, check out the trailer, here! thanks!

five entities established in skateboarding share concepts of individuality, limitation, and knowledge learned from a constant evolving culture. a culture eternally cycling, dying and rebirthing. forced down dead end pathways by powerful business entities. manipulated of progression through decensitized internet labyrinths. two symmetrical beings, parallel in thought, know only that of which is seen. controlled by a vivid entity yet handicapped by a lack of capacity of free thought and expression. no ambition? no spirit and fulfillment? paintings of inner reflection. still, immovable and wondering; “what is my love and passion?” a documentary expressing the ‘artist’ journey of becoming. a parallel narrative supporting sentiment of fighting against conformity. a contribution of thought challenging comprehension and expansion. the story of symmetrical mirrors, formed as one entity.

a film by andrew lovgren.

cast: greg hunt, chris mulhern & chris fireoved, paul fish, arto saari, pontus alv, sammy covert, grant puckett and austin cosler.

caste quality x magenta collaboration!

part 01.

our latest project seen above, is part 01 of the collaborative piece focusing on the history, perspectives and approach surrounding the identity of french based, magenta skateboards. during travels to paris, bordeaux and san francisco over the past year, magenta’s soy panday, vivien feil, leo valls, jimmy lannon, ben gore and yoan taillandier have helped illustrate the ideas that embody a brand pushing in their own direction.

in conjunction with this collaborative video piece, we've released a special jacket and hat, while magenta created a board for their summer line (including a dvd of the collaborative film series).

the philadelphia experiment.

the philadelphia experiment was a military program reportedly carried out in the philadelphia naval shipyard around october of 1943. it is alleged that naval destroyer uss eldridge was rendered invisible, allowing it to be hidden from enemy devices. the experiment was based on the unified field theory, a term coined by albert einstein. it states that by uniting the fields of electromagnetism with gravity, light will bend, along with space and time. alfred bielek, a scientist present on the decks of the eldridge claims the ship was indeed sent back in time, although the u.s. navy to this day still denies all allegations.

in this version of "the philadelphia experiment", we travel back to 1997, a time when skateboarding was at its very best in philadelphia. featuring mark suciu, ricky geiger, ishod wair, jordan trahan, devon connell, fred gall, matt reason, ricky oyola and many more.
