And you had a massive half-pipe, custom built by Animal Chin ramp builder Tim Payne inside a bullfighting arena. How did all these ideas come together? A lot of those ideas actually came from the riders themselves. Basically, because we had the team and we could justify doing it on that level and we wanted to make sure that it would be special.
So we took the plunge and budgeted a bunch of money on the film, knowing full well that most of the film was going to be wasted away because of bails. But at the time, we felt like we had to honor our team and do something special like that — not just put out another VHS video. You guys built a wild ramp in the middle of the desert, in the salt flats, and had a Jeep installed at the top of the deck to grind. I got that whole shoot funded by Jeep because Jeep sponsored me at the time.
They used to have — when we would do tours like the Huck-Jam tour — a dummy Jeep up on the deck that we, like, grinded and stuff like that. But this one in the desert was a real Jeep that was craned up on the deck.
And there are no three-year contracts with budgets like that anymore. Doing this new video has been very different in that sense. Birdhouse just released its first full-length film in 10 years, titled Saturdays. Tell me about that experience. We were in Europe doing demos in places like in Paris and London.

And then we could tell that he just needed something to stimulate him.
Hawk knew the sport was for him when he had his first major injury. Around that time, he was playing Little League Baseball and his dad Frank was the president of the league in his community. But Hawk had to decide which sport to choose. Frank had realized that his son and his friends felt like outsiders and he wanted to support them, founding a body that became the National Skateboarding Association, which is now part of governing body World Skate.
And we all loved skating. I would go to events and people would ask for my autograph and take pictures. He was also an outcast in the skating world because of his style. So, it doesn't matter which way he grabs it, because he's cheating anyway. By the time he was 12, Hawk was winning amateur California state contests, and he turned pro at At 16, he was regarded by many as the best skateboarder in the world. Because we were making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year as teenagers and traveling the world.
And we had adoration and we had success. Where they kind of got caught up in the party. For us, I think our only mistake was that we thought it was endless. Well built, with Premium, Pro quality components: 8.
