Skating with your closest friends is a joy like no other and the Vans video ‘Credits’ encapsulates that perfectly. Farran Golding reached out to filmmaker Shari White to find out more about her vision, influences and the story of how the video came to be in the first of a series of interviews with the ‘Credits’ crew.⁣.. https://blog.slamcity.com/credits-shari-white-interview/

Slam City Skates x R.A.D T-Shirts available now Will Bankhead, ‘91 at Stockwell, London. Photo by Jay Podesta “Whenever I went out shooting street pictures with different skaters you kind of had a plan. Usually they’d found some new spot or wanted to visit a place that was well known. Once there, quite a few would want to repeatedly hit one thing over and over – a rail maybe ’til you had the shot of the trick or tricks they could make on it. Then move on… ignoring anything else in the vicinity. But whether shooting pics or skating with Bankhead he’d just skate everything. Charging around on the way there or once at the spot. Riding anything that presented it’s self. So you’d get a variety of shots from each place and the feeling you were just out skating not trying to get what would now be termed ‘content’ for the mag. His style of riding meant that when shooting this sequence at Stockwell he seemed to just pop up onto the wall with ease. Not a struggle at all… at least that’s how I remember it. Understated but super impressive for sure.” – Jay Podesta https://blog.slamcity.com/slam-x-r-a-d-t-shirts/

Slam City Skates x R.A.D T-Shirts available now Curtis McCann, ‘91 at Meanwhile 2, London. Photo by TLB “Curtis was one of the most remarkable skaters I ever photographed. He was so stylish that all I really had to do was point the camera in his direction and the picture would look great. This is a classic example. Just look at the shape. I didn’t get to photograph him as much as I would have liked. I have the feeling that he was slightly reticent and always kept more to himself than a lot of people I worked with. I admired that. There was an enigmatic quality to him. All that doesn’t quite match the facts, since he was a prominent part of the skate scene from when he was quite young, through M Zone (shop) and their mad adverts. But that’s my impression, looking back over the decades – an astonishing skater, extraordinarily distinctive, who also seemed to have yet more in reserve.” – Tim Leighton Boyce https://blog.slamcity.com/slam-x-r-a-d-t-shirts/

Slam City Skates x R.A.D T-Shirts available now. Simon Evans, ‘92 at Kennington bowl, London. Photo by TLB “Simon Evans was one of the most creative people I collaborated with. One of the best things about RaD mag for me was that I got to work with some astonishing people. Simon brought a massive amount of enthusiasm, new ideas and new directions to the magazine. It was like a new injection of life and energy. This extended way beyond the features he actually wrote or the pictures he appeared in. But he definitely appeared centre stage n the most obvious and extreme example: his interview which played with idea of the 'skateboard magazine interview'. Working with Simon was a huge amount of fun for me. Stressy sometimes, but massive fun” - Tim Leighton-Boyce https://blog.slamcity.com/slam-x-r-a-d-t-shirts/
