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.
