Lee Dainton said to us today that “the whole video came together in less than a year, it feels like we’ve stolen it as Rookies took 5 years in the making. It’s a good old fashioned skate video.”

It was only a week ago that this dropped into our Good Morning feature on FB and Jeremy Wray‘s legendary history was mentioned. His name still lives strong due to his contribution to what we have in today’s scene. Stoked to wake up to a new tribute video this morning thanks to Jim Greco’s House of Hammers featuring a bunch of Wray’s best moments.

“When you’re a skateboarder, whether you’ve started your own brand or depend on your sponsors for your next check, you are investing your time and hard work for the love of it – you wake up to go skateboard or work because you are psyched on skateboarding and want to involve yourself in it as much as you can. So when it comes to decisions being made about skateboarding by people that are not personally invested out of a passion for skateboarding, then it becomes a concern as to their motivation.”

Back in 1994 Hook Ups dropped a 22 minute skate video called ‘Asian Goddess’ featuring a host of household names that included Geoff Rowley, co-owner Jeremy Klein, Jim Greco, Rune Glifberg, Tom Penny, Tony Hawk and Willy Santos and then decided to add a bunch of animations to fill it out and make it really annoying when you look back on it. Still a classic though.

There’s loads of HB footage in here from both Tom Penny and Geoff Rowley. Reminisce or discover.
