Keeping a skate shop up and running is no small feat in this day and age, so let's all salute Hong Kong's 8FIVE2 shop for hitting its 25th anniversary this year! To celebrate, they've released this "trailer," though at eleven minutes in length, you could call this a promo. At any rate, it's a teaser for something big coming later this year. Check it out.
"8FIVE2 25th Anniversary Video by Chan Po Him @himchanpo , an amazing filmer with a lot of heart for skateboarding. Mad love to all 8FIVE2 riders; Chun Chai @chunchai , Ngau @yipchak , Leng Chai Chun @kcku , Nic @bigdeckaf , Brian So @fuckingbrian_ , Hugo @_hugo_oh , Thai Chai @natdanaimuenthep and our latest rider Tai Shan aka Sang Ho @taishan.1026 . This is just a teaser for something big to come this year. No matter what, have fun skateboarding and if you loose, you loose the core foundation of skateboarding.
All filmed by Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max. Shout out to @apple for showing love."
All filmed on iPhones? That could be the future, for some people, of skate videos. Always dope to see the spots, skaters, and vibe of Hong Kong.
