I love this movie, it really does capture what I think skating is all about and why I Keep on Pushin’ .

The act of skateboarding is standing on a plank of wood that has four wheels attached to it – and that vehicle, apparatus, piece of sports equipment or whatever you call it has no controls, no steering wheel or brake, no safety net, no right or wrong way to ride it and, certainly has no rules.

It is individual, unique, highly skilled and most importantly . . . fun.

Just rolling down the street enjoying the feeling of controlling that plank of wood under my feet  makes me happy.

“Keep On Pushin’ is part of REDirect, a short film festival/competition that The Berrics and RED teamed up on. Showcasing twelve of the most renowned skateboarding filmmakers in the world, each filmmaker had 2 months to shoot and edit a short film about skateboarding. The contestants were kitted with all components needed to shoot on RED.”
