“Observers” is a new video brought about through a collaboration between Push Skate Shop, Theories Brand and Brainstorm Skateboards. The TOA crew made a jaunt down to Asheville, North Carolina this summer to launch a TOA art show with Push Skate Shop as well as a collab deck between Push, Theories Brand and local Asheville brand Brainstorm Skateboards. As a way to honor the collab, Brainstorm chief Eric Hunt filmed a rad new video piece and worked with editor Kerry Webb to bring us “Observers”. Featuring Eric Hunt, Dyshon Whidbee, Griffin Faulkner, Kevin Cordell, Sam Buxton, Kerry Webb and many more, the nearly 9 minute edit showcases the local Asheville scene with a visual nod to the eerie local legend of the Brown Mountain Lights. A mysterious unexplained ghost-light phenomemon occurring regularly in the hills of Brown Mountain, just outside of the Asheville urban center.

They also help support the local skate community with creative video projects, art shows and raising funds to support their local DIY spot. Run by long time shredder and Asheville local Eric Hunt, Brainstorm is always collaborating with local small businesses to bring the community together and make rad stuff happen. And their latest offering is “Fast Friends”, a collaboration with the Wilmington-based record store Fuzzy Needle and features a ton of skaters from the local scene as well as Eric himself. Edited by Kerry Webb and filmed/edited by Eric Hunt, TOA was hyped to host this new project, shining a light on a scene that doesn’t get enough exposure.
