Will Smith’s latest money making scheme (his son Jaden) puts down a small bit of skateboarding skills in his newest video Pumped up Kicks (Like Me). filmed entirely at The Skatelabin Simi Valley, California. And yes, that was Chris Cole and Theotis Beasley all over the place. Nothing like keeping the family business rolling.
We keep thinking we’ll eventually reach the point where Gary Rogers stops making us laugh. Each week we expect it to be next week. But the kid keeps on coming up. This episode it was his opinions on girls who skate that got us wheezing. Watch and you’ll see what we mean.
For the past four years New York Times writer Azam Ahmed and Director Ryan Ferguson have been working on a documentary film showing how skateboarding is changing lives in Chicago’s gang infested streets. Here’s what Ahmed has to say about Skate or Die:
We’ve scraped by with almost no money, compiling more than 100 hours of footage that follows the life of one skater who was shot in gang crossfire while sitting on his mother’s porch. Here’s the original story that was an inspiration for the film. . . Now, we need to cut about 100 hours of footage into a movie. To do that, we need a top-notch editor. While we’ve cut costs in every way imaginable, to professionally cut this film will cost about $35,000.
The filmmakers have have $29,940 already pledged on Kickstarter, but the have only 60 hours to reach their goal of $35,000 or they lose it all. If there is anything you can do to help the project, please click the link and make a donation.
