Most skate videos accentuate the thrills and spills of the sport, with the emphasis on the spills, because let’s face it, who doesn’t love a good crash. Skater Richie Jackson, though, follows his bliss with a more organic approach that finds him in partner with his environment through whimsical, board-bound navigation of it. Looking like a hesher minstrel that just robbed a Venice Beach vintage clothing shop, Jackson skates like an artist, or modern dancer, with the street as his stage!
In his new video for Moon Duo‘s track “Animal,” which he directs and stars in, Jackson puts aside the skateboard replacing it with a surreal array of board-like and wheeled objects that include things like a keyboard, silver tray, and even some dude’s car. Moon Duo will release their upcoming LP Shadow of the Sun on March 3rd via Sacred Bones, and “Animal” will be packaged as a 7″ with the album.
