Director Pete Falloon flew to LA to shoot Aoki and his crew in an 80's VHS Skate-Off between two skateboard crews. Featuring super retro graphics and messed with to look like a found VHS tape.
Pete Falloon AKA The Bear:
"It's heavily inspired by the cult film Thrashin'. We created two rival gangs that come head-to-head at Venice Beach Skate Park in an epic old skool skate off. Aoki is the leader of “The Dimmaks” and they take on featured artist Chris Lake and his gang “The Rampants”. It’s all highly tongue in cheek, we know the skating is pretty bad and the stunt doubles are obviously fake, but it has all been painstakingly created to stay true to the 80′s film style.

"The thing you may not notice is the awesome edit trickery that hits every beat, hidden beneath an authentic VHS grade."
