“I don’t think I want to write anything about the video. Some notes are that it was filmed the first summer of COVID, all in Minnesota. George Floyd and the protests were happening at this time, so we never got kicked out of spots. I think everyone besides me was on unemployment (paid to skate). For me making this was a bit of therapy - I was able to leave the house, be outside, be with friends, work on something with friends, use a vx1000, etc. Because of COVID we all drove separately, so there would always be like 5 cars. It’s not a hammer video, but it was made during a pretty crazy time. Now it seems like so long ago.” - Jake Durham on WITS’ END

Conor and Rob. The cast of the video spans generations.
