New Balance Numeric - Quids In (2014), ‘Starman’
Remember the other week when Arto did probably the best backside smith grind we’ll see all year? How great it was but you still wanted to see more? Well you’ll be pleased to know New Balance Numeric are currently in Canada filming for what will no doubt be another visual masterpiece from Russell Houghten. Although Arto spends more time focusing on photography on these trips, at least one or two tricks usually grace Russell’s lens so fingers crossed.
It wasn’t actually all that long ago that the New Balance Numeric team spent a solid three weeks over here, travelling around the North of England and the Scotland whilst filming for what would become ‘Quids In’. While the use of drone cams often divides opinions on the state of skate media, Russell Houghten can always be trusted to take an original approach and the aerial shots here serve to put us in the position of that ‘Starman who’s waiting in the sky’. Jordan Trahan consistently killing it, Jordan Taylor flinging himself across a variety of awkward gaps, Jack Curtin and Marquise Henry bringing some tech variety and Tom Karangelov delivering a seagull scattering gap to nosebluntslide in Manchester; Bowie’s inclusion to the video is the cherry on top.
