Valo 6 is the culmination of 15 years of the Valo skate brand, filmed over the course of three years on five continents.

You probably saw the Hermanos Mexico 15s trailer, posted on november 29, 2017. Here is the extended one minute version. Oh and if you missed it, check the Hermanos - Sylvain Chaussee’s Edit, he worked on the film as the 16mm technician, and produced this skating edit, featuring behind the scenes.
Hermanos Mexico - “These images were documented in the summer of 2013 through various cities in the country of Mexico. Entirely captured on 16mm motion picture and variances of still film.
These experiences take you through what it’s like to live on the road in the pursuit of following your childhood dreams. In our case, growing up rollerblading and continuing to do it for 20 years, one could hardly imagine that it could ever take you so far, and for so long”.
