Deza Skateboards New Full Length Video out of Mexico
This one’s packed with action from around the world. that first part from David Borges is going to knock your socks off and set the tone. It’s top notch skateboarding all the way through to the last part with Erick Silva. We got some words from Deza owner Shadi Charbel below the video.
We asked Deza’s owner Shadi Charbel to give us the lowdown on everything about this video and brand. Please read on, it’s well worth your time!
„We started filming for this video right when the pandemic started back in 2020, which was the very same year my friend Flo Marfaing decided to work with me and started riding for Deza Skateboards. The main idea of the skits was brought by a friend, Jesus Guerrero (IG: @elchuyesmicarnal) and his idea was based on me not being able to skate anymore and he wanted me to appear on the video somehow. We wrote a bunch of different ideas that we could film to make it happen. We had a great time filming the skits. I have a friend that is a cop and let me borrow his uniform to be the security guard, another friend of mine works for Fedex and let us borrow his van.
Right at the end, we didn’t have any more ideas for Erick Silvas‘ intro and suddenly my pitbull Madonna got crazy sick and passed away. Erick loved my dog and since he had filmed some clips with Madonna just to make a quick video for his social media, we ended up using all that and filmed a little more to make it fit in the actual video pretending that he was dreaming of her.
About the main intro, I’ve built a workshop right in my house all based on printing decks, clothing, wheels and Jesus wanted to use it all to introduce all the skaters and we all loved the outcome of it. Great memories from all those days of filming!
About the name of the video, NADA ES PARA SIEMPRE (nothing is forever), the idea is mine and it’s based on me not being able to do what I love the most, which was skating due to my knee surgeries. I pretty much had to accept the fact that I was never going to be able to become the skater I dreamed of at the age of 27. I believe that we all have to be prepared to let go when the time comes, and I loved the idea of expressing that message to everyone.
The first animation in the video is inspired by me and was made by my friend Luis Ponce.
