Norrebro, Copenhagen. The setting for a wonderful weekend of skating. The first ever event organised by Copenhagen B-Roll was held and will endure long in the memory. Thanks also to 8set store for being a crux of the amazing CPH scene. Apologies for a terribly setup camera.
‘SHINE’ (2022) Is the latest amalgam of life, skate culture and skill captured through the lens of BANK LDN. Shot primarily in London UK with a special journey to Glasgow & Edinburgh, Scotland. As paths intersect and depart, the constant remains the intuition to skate. A central beacon which has guided the collective journey of this group. A true nature is revealed in these high moments of visualisation and aesthetic brilliance – An inner realisation of oneself in a finite moment. Shot & edited by Leon HumphriesTitles, animations & assistant editing – Neil Ingall Title & Graphics – Ian GallaisCamera assistance – Joe Spray, Tom Sharman, Matt Collins, James Keyte, Lewis Bowden, Chris Doughty & Joe Harvey.
In 2017, James’ street skating kicked on. He was able to shoot a selection of moves in London for the first feature length Bank production – ‘Bank Volume 1’. This video was shot throughout the spring and summer of 2017. In celebration of his birthday, here is the part in full.
Following a street session in the day, a second gathering at Bay 66 skatepark later in the evening. Featuring, Paul O’Toole, Tom Sharman, Paul Crook, Matt Collins, Joe Harvey, Leon Humphries, Jamie Harris & Andy Spary.
