Jon Rowe

Bust Crew is half a clothing brand (the audiovisual offerings of which LIVE has presented to you quite a few times before), half - and foremost - a crew of friends who make skate videos - nothing that would really be anything out of the ordinary if said people didn't comprise the likes of Ty Beall, Jon Rowe, Gilbert Crockett, Pat Burke, Cory Bittle, Caleb McNeely, Daniel Ravenal and Will Rosenstock - at least for the occasion of this new edit. As its title suggests, "4FIDDY" is the group's contribution to "FIDDY", a community video initiative launched by East Coast skate magazine Skate Jawn, upon the release of its fiftieth edition. The eventual, resulting full production has similarities to TransWorld's "Cinematographer Project[(s)]", just marinated in tomato sauce and mozzarella melt, and with a dry aftertaste of thick local crust.

Let's just say it: we can't get enough of the sketchy borderline ultra-violent skating of Jon Rowe…

Our apologies for the bad play of words, it was just too tempting… Plus, this Jon is not on the finesse side of things, and he certainly would agree on that. Here, your street ultra-violence dose, the kind he's got a real knack for.

One could see it coming, but then again Jon Rowe joining the Politic ranks couldn't be more logic! From his passion for horribly rough run-ups and landings to his rather "agro" approach of the whole thing, he completely fits the gang…

Always raw, always the impossible spot: we lovvve it!
