SAN JOSÉ CAUGHT ON FILM

PUBLISHED June 18, 2013

Costa Rica is a very diverse place. It is a small country with seven major volcanos that have formed the land mass that we know it as today. There are eight different climate zones that make up Costa Rica’s weather pattern and you don’t have to travel too far if you don’t like the weather.

SAN JOSÉ SKATE MONTAGE

PUBLISHED June 10, 2013

When it comes to filming in San José, the actual trick is usually the easiest part. First you have to dodge all the holes and cracks in the run up. If you make it past those, you than hope that the ground where you pop has not been eaten away from the torrential downpours that can happen almost instantaneously in the afternoons during certain parts of the year.

GRAFFITI AND TATTOO ARTIST NEGUS

PUBLISHED June 10, 2013

Starting at a young age, Negus was exposed to art because his mom was a painter and would always ask for his opinion on her paintings. His love for creating and showing art has grown ever since and his daily mission is to spread his art all over the streets.

TRAILER FOR ISSUE No. 5 SAN JOSÉ

PUBLISHED June 10, 2013

We were lucky to arrive in San José, Costa Rica, early enough to get our footage captured before the real rain season started. But even without the sky opening up and letting everything down it isn’t the easiest place to skate.
