RB: Where is your official home town, and when did you move to NY?
ZB: I grew up in Chatham, Massachusetts. I moved to New York City right when I turned 18.
RB: What was the cause of the move from the move?
ZB: I moved so I could skate in one of the best cities in the world!
RB: At the time we shot this portrait, you were fresh off a 2 month Zoo York tour throughout Europe, home for a couple days then bouncing to Los Angeles for Maloof Money Cup. If you didn't hurt your foot, you would have headed straight to Montreal for 10 days of Zoo York Canadian Demo's then who knows what next. How do you handle all the travel and make you feel at home when on the road?
ZB: Sometimes it gets hard. For the most part just being with cool people and skating good spots pass the time well. A little big of good food will help for sure.
RED BULL: As most normal skate video's conceptualize, you have a theme, and schedule and go from there. But with Skate and Create, it was kinda "created" on the spot. Was their much adapting to the changing obstacles, skaters and shooting styles?
COLIN KENNEDY: Actually, Skate and Create was far more controlled than your typical skate video. Normally tons of things come into play while filming a skate video, weather, daylight, security, skate stoppers, injuries, motivation, etc. But with this project, most of those variables that make it hard to get footage were taken out of the equation. We went into the warehouse with our "look" and I had already picked the song (which I normally do near the end of shooting a part) I wanted to edit to, so I knew what type of tempo I wanted to create. So, the only hurdle left was to get the actual skate footage. The obstacles were constantly changing, but we knew that going into it so it wasn't a surprise to anyone that we were spending hours and hours to build a spot and then only shoot on it for an hour and then tear it down and start all over again.

Take an extreme urban sport, Europe's most skilled skaters and put ramps on an ex World War II defence base in the North Sea and you have, perhaps, the most insane project ever seen in the world of skateboarding, maybe the defining Red Bull Access all areas.
Six top European skaters including Britain's Kris Vile and European champion Philipp Schuster came to see if they could hone their skills on a rusty 350 square metre platform in the middle of the seas on a strange aquatic version of a set in a Mad Max movie. Sealand, although run down and still recovering from fire damage, appears as a cross between an oil rig and a Bond villain hideaway. It was built as 'Rough Towers' along with a string of other bastions in international waters and manned with guns for defence in the war.
First days in London are always good. Southbank is super fun, and just local London. I mean, this is one of the most famous cities in all of Europe, much less all of the world!
And its always good to start it off with a hearty breakfast. Omlelets was my choice and was scarfed down faster then ever. Jereme was in tow and he seemed ready to rip. Brezinksi on the other hand didnt seem as perky, it must have been the 20 beers on an empty stomach. That can do anyone in.
So a scenic walk to Southbank, across the bridge, and WHAAT!!! Southbank is closed! Kevin (our tourguide) told us he has never seen anything like that before! SOUTHBANK, CLOSED! But as most skaters do, the fence didnt stop us, we just skinnied right past it and started with the sesh. After a little while, security was called to the spot, and instead of kicking us out, they just moved the fence to seclude one spot, so we could skate the otherside. Pretty cool move in my thoughts.
Spot got pretty boring, so on our way to this other spot, we found this steeple or something, that we could skate the bottom. Everyone including Decenzo, Rogers, Vile and others joined in and made it skateable the best they could. It's awesome how sometimes the skateboarders eye can see something, and you can spend hours trying to figure how to skate it. So a couple hours later, we all took taxi's home, and started our dinner sesh. Not sure about our dinner situation, I think it involved wine, beer and steak. Its funny how the nights kinda fade off, and I find myself almost passed out by midnight.

Ahhh beautiful London. Isn't it the best when you wake up in another country, and you look out the window and get psyched to be there! Today was one of those days.
Went to bed last night early, must be some good steak, man. Strolling down stairs the guys must have felt the same way, because everyone was already packedup and playing skate in the circular driveway. The guys had their HUGE BAGS, filled with god knows what... probably a pair of shoes for everyday.
Today we were heading back to London *(where the crew originally started at). But FIRST we wanted to skate these awesome banks that was about 4 blocks away from the hotel. They had a bunch of skatestoppers in the bank, which made it harder to skate because you had to thread and slide between each break.
Couple knarly tricks went down, I would totally tell you but then why would you read the issue of the The Skateboard Mag this article is soon to be in, plus Matt Price might be mad.
