Do y’all miss skate tour videos? Something that tosses you behind the scenes in the van and gives a look into the elusive personalities that make up the ranks of professional skating?
Yeah, us too.
Legendary tours and their video counterparts, like Hot Chocolate and Baker Has A Deathwish, were once a go-to move for skate teams, but they’ve become rare over time. Due to tight budgets and constant busy schedules, producing them is a pain in the ass.
So, in true Jenkem fashion, we took it upon ourselves to try and resurrect the format, and pitched the idea to Adidas, to join them on their next several trips.
Enter “TOUR STAR” a full-length documentary following the Adidas team across the USA from the Jenkem POV you know and hopefully love.
Watch as Miles Silvas shuts down demos, Lil Dre tries his hand behind the camera, Mark Suciu hits the streets at night, Nikolai Piombo finds the za, and more.
