Miami, Florida / New York City - After many delays and missed deadlines we finally release this very special piece on a very special day so be sure to wish Justin Brasco a Happy Birthday in the comments.
We’ve spent a short amount of time in Florida to avoid some cold days of a harsh winter then met up for a handful of sessions in our hometown of New York throughout the spring and summer. Some days were simple while others were chaotic and that’s how we love it—spontaneous and unpredictable plus some high blood pressure moments that skating in the city inevitably brings. Enjoy & cheers! - butterTV.

New York City | Puerto Rico | Arizona - Never pressured for a deadline, we began this project during the height of the pandemic and slowly gathered clips over a two year period whether it was meeting up for an hour to get a quick clip on a street lamp that fell down in the middle of a highway or booking a trip to another state to take it easy and get what we can when we felt like it.
Nothing short of good times with Austin Paz, the multiple people that tagged along with us through this piece, and the many slices of pizza that came with it. Cheers! - butterTV.

Had the chance to catch up with Billy O’Neill over some drinks while he visited home for EMoney’s
memorial event. And yea, we got a little skating in while we had the opportunity. Always a pleasure and always a good time. See you again soon. Cheers! - butterTV.

Bodega (store), in American English referring primarily to convenience stores in New York City.
In August 2023, a group of individuals with inhuman strength was witnessed causing disturbances in the city of New New York. Surveillance footage showed the culprits: They were replicants - PLAY.
Replicants, for those unfamiliar, were originally designed as advanced biomechanical beings, created to perform tasks deemed dangerous for humans. Their AI was sophisticated, but it was believed they lacked the human touch – emotions, consciousness, and free will. But the events unfolding in New York suggested otherwise… Featuring: John Bolino, Eugen Enin & Yuto Goto.
