Raw, hard and fast - The GX1000 videos

San Francisco's GX1000 skate crew is rather loosely organized and connected primarily by a shared appetite for positive vibes and high speeds. Some of the crew are pro skaters, others are amateurs, but the video releases make them all a sensation. The crew was founded by Ryan Garshell, who is known for his incredible Hill Bomb videos on Instagram and is also an in-house filmer for Thrasher Magazine.

The classic image quality of the videos, most of which are shot on a Sony VX-1000, immediately connects them to the classic videos of the 1990s, where young skaters would all sit around the VHS player and watch their favourite skate videos.

The style of the videos is unpolished, showcasing fast skateboarding in raw spots and exuding the typical charm of San Francisco street skating. The collective energy that the crew creates in the videos is never forced and immediately makes you want to get on the board yourself.
