City Of New Lights, an independent skateboard video by Jarvis Nigelsky

After four years of traveling around the world filming and going through all the ups and downs that go into making a video, the one thing that sticks out in my mind was how everyone had such a good time while doing it. Considering the diverse international and cultural backgrounds of the Blind team, sometimes our van was more like a United Nations meeting during a New Year's party at Keith Richard's house than a skateboard team in the midst of making a full length video.

As far as skate videos go, the Dimestore ones are probably as sick as they get. The comical dimension is at least as entertaining as the skating and with parts from guys like Charles Rivard or Antoine Asselin, that says a lot. Just like in their previous videos, Dime Turd Season transports you to the grimy streets Montreal with its crackheads and street fights, whilst staying loyal to their trademark recurring images and their unpredictable soundtracks. It just goes to show that the best skate videos come from the guys who don’t take themselves too seriously, no matter how talented they are.
