The "Antisocial Summer" Premiere Photos
12/09/2024
Twenty years after their first video and eight years since their last, Antisocial Skateboard Shop premiered Antisocial Summer on a rainy December night in Vancouver, BC. Packed sardine-tight into the shop were generations of friends and Sosh team riders, including Rick McCrank, Michelle Pezel, Quinn Starr, Trevor Dunnett, Keegan Sauder, Dustin Henry, Jacob Lavelle, Dylan Fulford, Ryan Witt and Landon Avramovic. Their latest offering, filmed and edited by Shari White and Angelo Fajardo, is a lovingly crafted tribute to the shop’s history and community—who turned out in droves, with latecomers standing outside in the damp and cold to catch a glimpse of the action—and a showcase of its current crop of talent, like Breana Geering, Ryan Bjorgan, Connor Belvis, Una Farrar, Hasumi Iida, Amadou Diallo, as well as Henry, McCrank and more.
In contrast to the weather outside, inside, there was nothing but warmth, love, and beers and Bublys crushed. Another great time and another great video, Antisocial Summer is a feel-good feature that packs a punch and reminds us why we love doing this shit—and more importantly, the people we do it with.
Check out a recap of the premiere below and watch Antisocial Summer here. As the filmmakers noted on the night, we gotta give a big shoutout to Vans for supporting the video. —Cole Nowicki

EARNESTNESS ALERT: From running the shop to being president of the Vancouver Skateboard Coalition and much more, Michelle does an incredible amount of work for Vancouver’s skateboarding scene.
