Over two years in the making, Holy Stokes! features an international cast of skaters ranging from street connoisseurs to transition destroyers to hyper-talented up-and-comers rolling and rallying across the planet. Shot entirely in ultra high-definition 4K across dozens of locations spanning every corner of the globe, Holy Stokes! builds on more than 20 years and 30 influential films from the world of Volcom. Directed by skate-film auteur Russell Houghten, Holy Stokes! is a visual documentation of raw skateboarding and the pursuit of stoke.

The Body Corporate made by Anti-Hero skateboards. That wasn’t the original title we had in mind. We were pushing for “Reality Breakdown”. But things changed along the way. The video itself came out a lot different than the video we thought we were making, and that’s not a bad thing. This is the video we came back from New Zealand with. It morphed from wanting to tell a story about skating being an act of defiance, a path away from the status quo & spoon fed commercialism & all that lazy stuff, to being the story of what drew these guys to skateboarding & why it sticks so strongly with some of us. In the end it still speaks to those other ideas, though not said out-loud. These guys poured their hearts into this thing & we couldn’t be more stoked on how it came out. We hope you dig it.

We covered both sides of the Atlantic in our latest video shot by Ant Travis and Jacob Harris that will get you sparked to skate the streets. Trust that. Featuring Blake Carpenter, Daan Van Der Linden, Donovon Piscopo, Kyron Davis, Caleb Barnett, Casper Brooker, Karsten Kleppan, Cyrus Bennett, Max Palmer, Sean Malto, Andrew Wilson, Nik Stain and Stefan Janoski.

In uncertain times, an eclectic roster from the Swoosh stays focused on the one thing that always rules. With epic sections from GT, Daan, Oski, Korahn, Hause and more, this vid shines with a much-needed light. Appreciate the constant.

Friendships and traveling... down the block or to foreign lands, the streets of the world are calling to you and your skateboard to come take a rip. Life is a trip.. but with a board under your feet its a trip of a lifetime.
