Coan Buddy Nichols can do no wrong, and we're always fans of anything mixing skateboarding and music. This is an incredible history lesson of how skateboarding and music evolved, side by side, told by the OGs who were there.
"Intense Energy: Sounds of Skateboarding, is a short film by director Coan Buddy Nichols that explores the intersections of skateboarding and underground music, where it started and how it evolved into what it is today. Trust Records in partnership with Vans takes you from the backyard pools to the Brooklyn Banks with the soundtrack that was crucial to these scenes. In this twenty two minute short hear from pioneers of the 80’s like Steve Olson, Tony Alva, Steve Caballero, into the 90’s with Mike Carroll, Eli Morgan Gesner, to today with Beatrice Domond, Atiba Jefferson and more. Musicians Zach De La Rocha, Ray Barbee, Jeff Ament, Ian MacKaye and others attest to the inspiration skateboarding had on music and vise versa."
