Don Bambrick, Razors and Vibralux Denim Pro as seen in the Razors Team Video ICONS.

quoting Adam Johnson (2009):

Don Bambrick and I filmed this in attempt to make him jump from flow to pro. Andy Wegener told him after the Accidental Machines premiere that if he kept up doing those big gaps there could be a spot for him on Razors.

1.5 years later Don leads the polls for the next Razors pro skate and hasn’t showed any signs of slowing down. His pro Street Artist wheels, that’s right 2, drop in 4 weeks.

The 20 Project by Adam Johnson

20 skaters limited to 20 tricks for their part. Anything else will go online to promote the project. Sure to be wild parts featuring some of the best established talent as well as up-and-coming skaters.

Featuring Alex Broskow, Chris Farmer, Don Bambrick, John Bolino, Billy O’Neill, Montre Livigston, Victor Arias, Michael Collins, Michael Garlinghouse, Bfree, PJ Peincak, Kruise Sapstein, Ross Kuhn, Tien Nguyen, Enanoh, Adam Exline, Dylan Davis, KC Roche, Dominic Sagona, Nick LaBarre.

• Support the project on Kickstarter.
• First Promo Edit.

Here are a few of the tricks from the summer and some of the people involved in the project. These are the deals that the guys didn’t feel would make it into their final part.

I think they are crazy, cuz these tricks are dope. If you got some spare change dump it on us and prebook your copy. You know you are going to buy it eventually anyways!

Starting in August we will set out to accomplish what some people thought we failed at with our last project. We switched up the format a bit and instead of making a tour video we will be making a profile video with all the tour footage being used for updates online.

With your pledges we can be assured of taking the above skaters to the far reaches of America and Canada and making for what could very well be the video of the year. Don’t look at this as a handout or a donation as you will be getting something very worthwhile with your donation (whichever level you choose) and you will be helping to keep the movement progressing.

Money will be used to fund travel costs. The more we have the further we go and the better the video will turn out.

We look forward to your support and keep in contact with the tour at youhatetoloveit.com.

SUAS: What’s up ADAM JOHNSON and welcome to ShutupandSKATE! (You have been a tremendous supporter & sponsor of what I have going on here and I would like to publicly thank you very much for that!) As a skater with 3 successful companies under your belt running simultaneously what do you do in your spare time to wind down?

AJ : I drink whiskey to wind down, but as of late I don’t even have time for that. Between planning future productions, dealing with things in production, selling what I got in stock, blasting out retarded fun edits, filming, and being a full time cook I get to sleep 6 hours a night.

SUAS: Now that is a healthy schedule! I never knew you were into cooking. Did you attend Culinary School or is it something that you just happen to be good at?

AJ: It actually came from wanting to get out of the house and have a fresh start with regular people. I call them regular because at first they didn’t know anything about me. Didn’t tell them what we did, where we go, etc. Just let them think I was Joe Blow the Cook. Funny how people treat you different if they don’t think you have anything to offer them.

One day though one of the servers saw me on MTV, then for a few weeks I got lots of those “So you’re famous, right?” kinds of questions; to which I would respond, obviously I am not since I can be a chef for 3 months without you knowing anything about me. [...]

Check the full “Shut up & Skate” Interview of Adam Johnson.

First and foremost, you have many a title: cinematographer, entrepreneur, alleged baby-eater and skater, you are what some may call, a jack-of-all-trades. What the people want to know is: who is the real Adam Johnson?

Well, if you ask my real close friends, the ones I’ve been around 15 plus years, they will all tell you I’m an asshole. You ask my mom and she will tell you I am the nicest kid in the world. Ask a random skater from the late 90s and they will tell you I’m an alcoholic. Ask a new school grom and they probably won’t be able to tell you who I am because they don’t own KFC3.  If you ask me though, I would tell you I am just a real-ass dude who tells it how it is.

What made you pick up your first camera?

I broke my elbow when my friend checked me hockey-style into the grass. Landed on it wrong and I dislocated and fractured it. The only way to get people to pick me up that summer to go session was to film. [...]
