Another group of skaters that we didn’t know was just spectating the schoolyard throughout the afternoon. I was filming a line with my brother, Katsuya, and other skaters going back to back. When I was 11 I was out filming in downtown LA on Go Skateboarding Day and we ended up skating in this schoolyard. I’m just documenting what I see and If someone doesn’t want me to film them, I’ll point the camera somewhere else. Yes, I understand, but everyone nowadays is always filming with their phone or being filmed by security cameras or other cameras not visible to the naked eye, so I feel like I’m in the right. I’m always looking around at all times.ĭo you understand why some people get pissed at you? I’m just always aware of my surroundings because you never know when someone will try to snatch the camera or kick you or some shit. How close have you been to getting beat up because you were filming a random person? I kept the camera rolling the whole time and stood out the way. I had to capture that insane moment in history. There’s a clip you used as a promo for the video of people robbing a store, did you steal anything for yourself? I keep the JinxPro in my left pocket at all times, always gotta be ready. It’s the best camera, it is so small you can just take it out whenever something crazy is happening.

I just started calling the GoPro the JinxPro because I was capturing so much hijinx on it. What’s the JinxPro and where did that name come from? I have missed a lot of crazy jinx in the past either because the jinx was happening too fast, the JinxPro (GoPro) was dead, or I got the pro slapped out of my hand. You get a lot of footage of random people on the streets, do you search that out or do you just keep the camera rolling at all times?

We also sent our friend Deen Babakhyi to shoot some photos and capture the chaos from the premiere party. To learn more about the video and what went into making it so rewatchable, we hit up the creator, Tristan Warren.

Who wouldn’t want to be part of this crew of young legends?

This video has a little bit of flavor for the old heads and young skaters to enjoy: There’s a hijinx montage, one of the homies gets arrested in Europe, and you get to see footage from Kader, Sunny Suljic, and Skater Pat. There’s a large part of old guy culture that revolves around looking at what younger skaters are doing and saying cliches like, “The kids are alright.” And although I think that’s the cringiest thing someone can utter, after watching Tristan Warren’s latest video, Money Time, I have to say, I think the future of skateboarding is in decent hands.
