As though to make Philly rhyme with Italy that much better, the Sabotage Productions crew (no strangers to the LIVE squad) recently went to apply a certain science of ledge skating refined by many a generation of their ancestors to the marble structures of Milan, in order to check how universally their traditional knowledge would apply. Although a heavy one, the "Photosynthesis" heritage hereby proves to be tax-free as far as exportation is concerned, and the crew's destination looked like a mere playground to them.
Jahmir Brown, Tyler Dietterich, Juan Algora, Kevin Bilyeu and Dylan Sourbeer are all in, strong of their usual vintage tech and sharp nollie flips, whilst Brian Panebianco handles the production as brillantly as he never fails to and, once again, the whole story's M.V.P. turns out to be Joey O'Brien with his sheer power, infinite lines and his name in big on the poster of a well-deserved last part, in which he ollies a river with a style reminiscent of Jeremy Wray, amongst other tasteful intricacies. Milan hadn't known a worse sabotage since that Po oil spill.
The fourth installment in "Untitled", Chris Mulhern's series of web clips for Alien Workshop, just came out via TransWorld and consists in ten minutes of skateboarding in and around Philadelphia with notably a full part for Yaje Popson, creatives lines by Mark Del Negro, swift ledge moves from Kevin Liedtke, and more stylish eccentricities authored by Kris Brown and Joey O'Brien. Optimal spot utilization, original maneuvers galore and the type of style that can't be sold!
The Sabotage heads announce here, with a bang, another full-length (the fifth already!) for the end of September, and document here the last hours of Love Park, apart from footage of carcass tossing in the fountain that should appear in a few more tourist video projects. No, we are talking about the locs, here, and their reality going through heavy changes. A bit like the VX 1000 version of Jonathan Renthscler's book…
Where we find out some die-hards still skate LOVE park, or should we say its ruins… Oh, and that the city has way more to offer than its classic spot! But that we knew already, thanks to Chris Mulhern amongst others!
The Sabotage gang is back and, as you would expect, they still localize the mythical Phillly spot (but not only…) and even innovate in the way to skate it! Good stuff, we say.
