May you tell us a story that stuck to your mind of a pro skater going nuts? I just know that as a Filmerall you can do for a skateboarder is to be patient with them and support them throughout their trails and errors while filming a trick. How often do you get a ticket for trespassing?
Are you involved in it? SP: Ty Evans is making history with that piece and is the mastermind behind it. I am not actually a part of it but I contributed one day at the courthouse with Ty.
If I would have known what was happening earlier on I would have definitely helped him out more. SD: Imagine that you could become the exclusive personal filmer of a pro skater.
Who would you choose and why? SP: Too many to choose from and honestly, I just enjoy capturing skateboarding from many different skateboarders and styles across the board. SD: The video part of your dreams: name the skater and the soundtrack.
SD: The world wide web made clips accessible easily all over the world. This means that skateboarding gets a greater exposure but at the same time there is the risk that a video part that took months to be over will be forgotten in a matter of days.
SP: My opinion on it is that video parts will always be dropping and skateboarding is going to progress. I feel that the Internet hurts and help skateboarding in a way because you get to see stuff go down quicker then back in the day and waiting three years for a videotape drop. The thing that is change is the value on a video now then compared back then. All I know is that skateboarding will always be there and the feeling you get while riding one will never change.

During the harsh New York winters, he dreamed of filming his favorite pros under the warm California sun.
When Heath Brinkley, co-founder of Primitive Skateboards calls you to ask if you can go to Barcelona to film Paul and the rest of the team, does that still get you hyped, or are you old and bitter already? Haha, never! I still get crazy hyped. I was honestly blown away and so happy. It was one my dreams since I was a little kid actually coming true. I used to watch all the videos with everyone skating Barcelona and dream that one day I would make it there somehow.
I am truly blessed. That trip will be one of those moments I will never forget. What does your job entail? So I get to work with everyone. Who are some of the other guys you get to work with? Really, whoever wants to go film.
If I sat here and named names you would think I am crazy haha. I will just say I appreciate all the guys that let me capture the moments we get to enjoy afterwards. Photo: Cronan. But take us back a bit. Where are you from and how did you get into skating and filming? I received my first video camera when I was 15 years old and never looked back. My friends and I were already skating at that point. I would film them and they would film me.
What made you want to start focusing on filming? I think what really caught my eye was watching skate videos and seeing how things were created. I started to want to create my own stuff with my own vision. It feels like I never grew up. When did it get serious for you and become your job? Five years ago, Felix Arguelles gave me the opportunity to help work on the Ammo promo and move into his crib in LA.
I created 52 episodes for the whole year. I always put it in the back of my mind to have fun with it, but also make sure I handled my shit. I appreciate what Felix has done for me and will never forget it. I was loving what I was doing and just focused on making shit happen.
I knew if I worked hard, more opportunity would come. It was a good lesson, too. But if you grind hard you can work your way up. How did Felix know to hit you up to film for Ammo and Famous? Manny Santiago told him about me. I met Manny at Tampa AM one year and we just bonded right off the top. I can remember it like it was yesterday. So when Felix needed a filmer he asked Manny about me and Manny set it up. I owe him a lot, dude.
Photo: Krolick. So starting your own blog led you to working with Manny and then with Felix. Got it. Yeah, you got to do what you got to do. How did you end up living with Shane? I was living with Manny and Chaz at the time and things were sort of changing, so I just had to figure out if any of my friends had an extra room for rent. I remember Dan Abadi saying I should ask Shane. I decided to ask and the rest is history pretty much.
Are you allowed to skate the park in the back yard?
