Among our travels between comps and filming other projects we tend to capture a little more here and there and in this case we were lucky to catch up with Jamie Khammounetry to kick off a new series called “Connections.” These are quick hits where we’re able to link up and capture a little bit here in between events and other sessions. Enjoy! - butterTV.

When you spend a few months travelling and skating through the country you sometimes have to cave in and join a few sessions at the parks. While you may think skating might define a country’s street culture in the paved avenues of the big cities, the skateparks of Mexico also have a story to tell and are still the place of good times sharing sessions. This one is for all the carnales we met.
Parks in Mexico are really surprising and oftentimes huge and vast dumps of concrete in some cities where only a few practice urban sports which usually adds to their volume. But meeting the crews of each city as we went through allowed us to share some great memories and even skate some hidden gems. For instance in Morelia where we met up with Joe Atkinson and explored a covered up SpaceBowl for a shadowy session out of time.
Be sure to watch the whole Chileros Video not to miss out on professional action since I loved the song to much and added a bunch of footage from Joe Atkinson, Julien Cudot and Stephane Alfano borrowed from other great projects like Foot Moon and Alfamor videos.

San Francisco (California), Miami (Florida), Los Angeles, (California), New York City. Catching up with Cameron Talbott in multiple places whether in passing or making last minute plans during the past two years, we’re finally able to finish this project. A lot of good memories are tied to this one as we were always on the move not knowing where we were going to end up next yet enjoying the ride the entire time we were in transit. Cheers!
