In appreciation of one of skateboarding’s most powerful skaters ever, JENKEM’s friend Joey Sinko edited his most memorable video moments into a mega compilation. A few rare pros have been able to leave their careers behind gracefully. Donny Barely is now one of them. He’s swapped the title of “pro skater” for a more traditional job within the skate industry managing east coast sales and events for Element. Although it might sound like some lame office gig in comparison, we’re all just happy that Donny bowed out before his switch hardflip down the Santa Monica triple set could be overshadowed by accusations of him “milking it.” – JENKEM
JENKEM – Inside the Mind of Skate Videographer Joey Sinko
Joey Sinko is one of skateboarding’s most unique filmmakers. He is the driving force behind Jenkem’s Ode series and more recently has supported Jim Greco on a handful of experimental skate films as his camera man / cinematographer. He draws from skate classics of the early 2000s, but there is also some influence that can be felt from classic films by the likes of Les Blank and Stanley Kubrick, just to name a few.
