KickerTalk151 - Pocket & Polar in Shanghai

The skate scene has been buzzing since late September, with events, contests, tours, and demos coming one after another. This month, Pocket Skateboard Magazine from Germany and the Polar skate team both came to Shanghai to film, and the guide for both was William. For this feature, we sat down with William to talk about the fun stories from his three weeks as the local skate guide.

九月底以来滑板圈又热闹起来了,活动,赛事,Tour,表演,一个接一个。这个月德国的 Pocket 滑板杂志和 Polar skate team 陆续都来上海拍摄,而他们的滑板向导都是 William。这一期就跟 William 聊聊这三周滑板地陪趣闻。

00:00 – Polar afterparty outtakes: Kiki passed out in the park and slept until dawn.

03:40Pocket Skateboard Magazine, a German skate media outlet, was founded in 2017. Co-founder and Editor-in-Chief is Johannes Schön. Pocket is called a magazine but is more like a hardcover book, released roughly twice a year, priced at only €15.

06:44 – Pocket will dedicate an entire book to their Shanghai trip.

7:25 – Korean skate magazine Quiet Leaf.

09:25 – The Czech guy's underground guide to Chinese skate spots (referencing IGA).

10:20 – Pocket founder Florian “burny” Hopfensperger actually came to China a long time ago; he was the team photographer for the Social Skate team during the 2012 Thrasher King of The Road China.

13:10 – Pocket and William's fateful connection: Will and his girlfriend were vacationing in Okinawa when they happened to run into the Pocket team filming there, only to meet them again at the airport on the way back.

14:45 – A discussion that jumped from the Pocket founder marrying a wife from Thailand to the Real Team Manager marrying a wife from Taiwan.

15:25 – Pocket stayed in Shanghai for 13 days, skating every day from 10:30 AM until dark.

16:20 – European skaters have a different eye for spots; at one spot, they pried up a manhole cover to get the trick—can't wait for the final video.

18:35 – The Pocket skaters who came on this trip: Hermann Stene, Eetu Toropainen, Aleksi Suovaara, Kyonosuke Yamashita, Aimu Yamazuki, Ryuhei Kitazume.

20:00 – Japan’s top skaters are often "second-generation skaters." What was the vibe with the Japanese skaters in Shanghai?

26:00 – He only had one day off between guiding the Pocket and Polar teams. The Polar trip was mainly focused on shooting the lookbook.

28:50 – Photographer Sirus started out as a photographer, and only began shooting skate videos because he loved it so much. He uses a P2 video camera, and a Nikon F5 film SLR + CCD camera.

32:34 – Stories about the Polar riders who came to Shanghai: Natha, Kiki, and Shin.

38:42 – Skaters all over the world love to talk industry gossip.
