APB Skateshop — Lowercase | the den - skateboard videos

Director: APB Skateshop

When 'A'ala Park was closed for a few years for renovations. Gideon Dungey got me and Darin Lee going night skating with his generator and lights. Once Makiki opened we started recruiting more and more friends to go filming with us. Larry Warnken, Rob Carlyon, Kenny Brimer, Chane Wilson, Darin and myself were all living right across the street and we would go out all night street skating, come home and mess around with edits. Although not started as a shop video, Lowercase was a jump off point for APB Skateshop and cemented a tight knit family of skaters that all considered themselves APB ('A'ala Park Bastards). With the newly renovated 'A'ala Park, a brand new shop, and a fire for filming, Hawaii's skate scene was booming. This video signified a really important period in my life. It showed me the great things that skateboarding has done for me personally as well as helped create long lasting relationships. I'm really glad I got to do this video with Darin as a labor of love, not yet motivated by any sort of business aspect. I'm really glad there is a record of this period of skating when 'A'ala first opened, dudes were killing it. RIP Kenny Brimer, Aree Lamont, Bernardo Bernard.
