Pascal Moelaert

This Pop got wood!

Don't tell us nobody warned you! It is over five years now, that we have been telling you the Dutch homies at Pop Trading Company were faking no funk, and here their way to send that fact home is, finally getting to the wood trading business, with the very same gang, and while staying true to their main motto: keeping it homegrown! 

Ziggy Pop

To close the curtains on their first "UNSIGNED HYPE" series of web clips, our fellow media brethren over at Place Mag just chose to drop this strong edit of Pascal Moelaert (who happens to rep the POP Trading Co. homies, amongst a few other respectable entities), filmed and edited by Ziggy Schaap. Now this one is definitely worth your attention, brimming with practical applications of ledge science, endless lines, overall good taste and a general stylistic maturity that would for sure suffice to allow Pascal in bars in the U.S., despite really only being nineteen of age. Ah and he has quite the mean switch backside tailslide, too... To top it all off, one can check out a joined interview with the movie participants on either side of the lens, here!

#popfashionweek

An almost nostalgic look at simpler times when the only crucial questions were "Are you on the ist for tonight's Fashion Week party!?" and "Is it dry yet!?"… Yes, it was winter in Paris, but life was lighter, most notably for the Pop collega's! That even had a few new heads with them to introduce to the world…

They were in town to import their very own BYOBSS from Amsterdam to Paris, but took the time for way more, from catwalks to parties, all spiced up by that street thing, despite the heat! Proof, here with many new faces to top it…

The Pop gang is back in full, this time with a slightly different casting than usual, and also a retro-futuristic format of sorts, I.E.. the HD 4:3. Best of both worlds, one can say, as the cities of Hague and Rotterdam offer the perfect paving stones decor also…

New Pop

Well, yeah, what's new for the Pop camp!? Well, a new face, first of all, named Pascal Moelaert. A part from that, well, the usual: never seen before spots, unexpected lines, all the ingredients to a never boring routine, we say!

Parking Lot Stardust

You may remember Netherlands-based filmer Ziggy Schaap's previous edit: "The End" that graced the almighty Interwebs last spring. Well, the end it wasn't, as it turned out that even wintertime wasn't enough to deter the man and his crew of friends from doing their thing: this new video, "No Service" was filmed just then, over the span of two months and with a modus operandi of being underground parking lot-themed. A project for which they really did some research regarding which ones not just in the Netherlands but also Belgium had the best utilizations possible to offer, as an attempt to cover as much slippery-slick (under-)ground as possible! The final output is a much more joyful watch than one might expect from the basic concept: the VX-1000 is excellent (explicitly influenced by the likes of Yoan Taillandier), the terrain gets worked in smart ways and in the end, "No Parking" is one more great testament to how the daily weather doesn't have to dictate how much motivation one should show!

"The End" is the unlikely title of Ziggy Schaap's new edit straight from the Netherlands, horizons the average LIVE reader should be familiar with by now given the percentage of articles on this platform that have to do with the Pop guys! Although this time, the aesthetics are something else: crispy VX-1000 complete with pristine export settings and catchy colors (once the intro outlived). But fear not, as the weird moves and awkward spots (comprising some Berlin nugs) remain, all set to a soundtrack that wouldn't have felt out of place in the best Rare Skateboards-era Euro productions, whatever you think that might mean. Anyway, if this upbeat clip could suffice to initiate a trend of clean VX footage on YouTube, then that would for sure be something to give it credit for!

The Dutch candle fetish!

So, someone will have to step forward and explain us the fascination our neighbors from the Netherlands seem to have developed for said "Tea lights"… Then again, their local street furniture does seem to require some feral waxing! Which has never stopped the Dutch scene from flourishing, since the 90's. This video from local media On The Roll showcases perfectly this vitality, with a varied casting traveling around Europe while also taming their local and yet abrasive surfaces. And, icing on the cake, young Pascal Moelaerts cast a general resemblance with Toby Shuall. Which could never be a bad thing!
