It’s been a good couple of days for Victor Campillo fans! Between this new Ace vid and the Marseille edit we posted yesterday it feels like he’s put out two parts worth of footage. Apparently all the shit he got at La Plaine was filmed in a week too – pretty mad considering the state of some of those marathon lines… Something should also be said about how shocking Ibu’s spring is in this thing. Like by now we’re kind of used to seeing him dwarf spots, but look closely at how little he had to prepare / bend down for that blunt by République?! He made that thing look like a curb. Loved Noah‘s footage too. You can tell more and more care is going into picking what tricks are getting done where (the nollie 180 to sw feeble into the bank was extra satisfying) and he’s got that kind of natural board control that makes everything look super fun and playful (sort of like this guy).

Two vans, 16 people, multiple trips, ample passport stamps, and controlled, but productive, chaos, 7 Ball is the latest full-length orchestrated by London-based videographer Will Miles. An international video inspired by overachieving and escaping the winter, Will and a double-digit crew traveled for close to two years to create 7 Ball.

Directed by Paris-based filmmaker Joaquim Bayle, PRECIOUS builds on Carhartt WIP’s last full-length skate project INSIDE OUT, which was released in 2022. The name of the project derives from the delicate yet gruelling process of shooting tricks on film. “Now that I understand skateboarding a little more, I wanted to pay tribute to its subversive form, its poetic form,” says Bayle of the feature, describing a “precious feeling I had when I started skateboarding and which, as I have gotten older, I've tended to forget.” In encapsulating this, he employs a multi-sensory approach. Warm, gauzy footage is punctuated by shutter clicks and black and white photography. Quiet moments of reflection are interrupted by the sound of wheels on concrete. Softly spoken word drifts in and out of a soundtrack of sludge metal and synthwave.
