After going around Helsinki and planting a tree at all their favorite skate spots, Jaakko and Eetu hit the Finnish backroads with fellow Element skater Kukka Suvioja and Pelago marketing manager Nikolai Alin for a week of biking, camping and skating. Filmed in the middle of the long Finnish summer, the video shows the crew going from spot to spot via country roads, all while making pit stops to swim and enjoy the outdoors.
Dip into the raw version of the video clip cache that made the ESP vol 2 video come to fruition. For the first instalment of this series, fix your gaze on the uncut clips that Element’s Finnish technician Jaakko Ojanen stacked around the world while filming his latest video part. This series is a rare look into the making of a full team skate video…This is ESP Expanded.
A fan of subtle vulc styles, Jaakko Ojanen’s technical skating requires something that can match his progressive approach, so he chose a rich forest green Super Suede™ that stands out on DC’s first Teknic pro colorway. Shop the Teknic S HERE.
