Juice is everything. Juice is the ultimate form of motivation that lacks all effort or trying. It’s the urban sports wording for a state of flow or rather the energy allowing such a state to exist. At its highest level its providing full focus without force. Providing vision and awareness with a full connection to the present moment allowing no distractions. Being “juiced” allows movements to become increasingly easy and fun as there is full control with complete awareness. Things happen effortlessly, feel better and less dangerous. It brings more laughter, less stress & more energy.
Doing what you love with friends is one of the best ways to find access to this flow of energy. As everything it obviously is not always fully present but comes in waves. There is ups and downs and of course sometimes we have to overcome stressful moments for a great relief. A positive outlook is a helpful strategy. Even in the face of someone trying to get in the way without reason :) Always stay kind and respectful. Juice is the reason for all of our trips and projects. The resulting video is an indirect consequence of this, a bonus so to speak, but don’t mistake it for the goal itself.
This video was shot in Munich (Germany) during 6 long days in october ‘23, the week leading to Ulm City Blade Jam where we premiered it exactly one year later. The trip itself is a brainchild of Harry & Michi while the video is directed & edited by Jo. Featuring: (in order of appearance) Jo Zenk,

“Last summer I went to visit Harry Can in Munich (Germany) and we decided to make a street edit! It was very sunny and we visited some of the cool spots there. It was a lot of fun seeing Munich on wheels. We filmed this edit in 4 days and I am very happy with the result! Keep pushing forward. Thanks a lot Harry for filming and editing this, and enduring my beautiful singing”! - Aniek Kerkhofs.
