Check the interview Be-Mag did recently with the Truth 2 crew. Get all the behind the scenes information, details, and thoughts from the cast and crew on the NYC and east coast scene. See the full interview below. You can also see Be-Mag’s Truth 2 coverage here.
THE TRUTH 2 RECEIVED AN AMAZING RESPONSE FROM SKATERS WORLDWIDE? WHY DO YOU THINK THAT THE TRUTH 2 WAS RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE TOP RELEASES IN THE LAST YEAR?
I suppose it could be a number of things. The industry seems to be leaning towards skater-run establishments these days. Also, more people can appreciate The Truth since we’re not connected with any company; this DVD is not a team video. We also had an all-star cast with this one. Who wouldn’t want to see a fresh section from Montre and Broskow, or a come-back Fish section?

Filled with tons of NYC footage of some of your favorite local and pro skaters. Check out VG 22: Coast to Coast. “At a time of change and influence, VG22 comes with another classic. There was over a year and a half of filming and traveling that went into the making of a very special issue entitled VG22, Coast to Coast. VG22 features some of the best skating recently captured. The featured profiles include: Ben Weis (MN), Brian Aragon (CO) , Cameron Card (UT), and JC Rowe (MI). The Skate Stop this issue is a visit out to the outlaw life at JB’s house in Arizona , where there is plenty of partying and amazing spots. This is also Dave Paine’s last issue as full time editor, so enjoy a Director’s last wack at all the favorite sections that made VG so infamous. There is plenty of B Role and Bonus sections in the DVD menu, so enjoy over 100 minutes of hotness” – Dave Paine. Bonus sections here and here.

The Videgroove series, or simply VG series, were the most popular videos of its time. Having more than one VG VHS tape/DVD in your collection was pretty much standard and makes you awesome in my book. For the new comers, VG’s are a definite must see. It lets you know where your favorite pro’s came from and how they started out. VG19 East Coast Volume 2 showcases the Atlanta, Minneapolis, Philadelphia and of course New York City scene. The full video was recently put online in 2 parts so check it out above.
