“While we are having fun in our life in this part of the world, in other places, people are in search of love and peace.
While we are complaining for our job, our doubts, our business, others are complaining for not having food or water, losing their family and life under bombs.
Skate is not just a sport or a vehicle, or it could be!
But others prefer to use it as a brush to colour the world and others like a weapon to shoot to all the discrimination and nowadays social problems.
Maybe some skate magazine or skate sites will not accept a skate videoproject that doesn’t show only skate tricks and skate skills, but WE as people of this world, we can understand the message that there are behind of all videoprojects and we cannot hide emotions from real truly words.”
