“What you experienced today was a prime example of what this passion can give. and that is why I say: let us remain who we are, let us remain unique, let us remain bladers.” - Json Adriani.
October 5th-6th 2024. Milan, Italy - During one of the heaviest rainfalls in recent Milan history, Json Adriani & co. managed to pull off a full weekend event at Idroscalo skatepark filled with multiple DIY spots. The community came together to skate, compete, and cheer each other on as well as using one of the days to create a learning environment to share an experience together within the older and newer generations.
It all started with the children putting their best efforts to create their own individual runs while everyone cheered. The ladies were up next with a format that remained for the rest of the comp: there would only be one winner for each obstacle. The pros ended the day and we all celebrated at a local bar where the winners were announced as well as the video premiere of Connect from Inferno Skate. The second day was filled with different workshops where pros were working on specific things with anyone who wanted to learn. Overall it was an amazing experience to watch everyone come together and enjoy the one thing we all love to do. Cheers!

“You running games here? I wanna play…” - Frank White.
New York City, New York - December, 2024. During the winter, in frigid temperatures, with limited day light, and a very short schedule to work with… We made it happen and what a pleasure it was to do so. A butterTV / Billy O’Neill edit has been a long time coming and it has taken place here in our hometown of New York City. Starring: Billy O’Neill. Shot & Edited: JP Primiano. Photography: Austin Paz & Jon Ortiz. MADE IN NYC.
“So the real winner today was Miami because it kicked everybody’s ass. It really was almost last man standing…” - Arlo Eisenberg.*
up: Mery Munoz at the FM Invitational, 4th edition.
Miami, Florida - October 7th, 2023. In its fourth event, The FM Invitational was high energy throughout the entire day. Kicking off with the Juniors competition, then working its way through the Bladies, to the Quads, and finishing off with the Men’s competition - each event had a strong crowd cheering everyone loudly as the celebratory screams echoed throughout Skate Bird (which is the name of the park this event is held).
A lot of great skating was happening from all different directions which sometimes makes it difficult to capture every moment so it’s always recommended to check out all the other media coverage that comes out of these events to get a sense of who did what. With that being said, Chris Edwards held down the mic and kept things in order along with special guest Arlo. It was a long day and it was a fun one. Be sure to catch the next one Saturday, Oct 26th at the same location! Cheers! - butterTV.

“This year we’re giving away $8000…” - Chris Mccormick.
Chicago, Illinois - July 20th, 2024. Twenty-three years and still going strong. The event was exactly what it states to be…an absolute riot. A difficult one to film as skaters came charging one after another from all directions to hit each spot in multiple different ways so if you want to try and see everything that went down I’d suggest you watch a few different edits after this one as well as staying on top of social media posts from the event. The energy from everyone was amazing and supportive and the winners went home with a nice chunk of money this year. Well done to everyone involved! Cheers! - butterTV.
“Bronx, New York - May 18th, 2024. In its third year, The Uptown Get Down makes a return to the Bronx to kick off the season on the east coast after a long, cold, gray, and rainy winter”.
“The energy was exactly what everyone needed on what felt like a day in the middle of the summer as not only skaters came to watch the event but the people surrounding the neighborhood as well. Catch you all at the next one! Cheers!”. - butterTV.

Among our travels between comps and filming other projects we tend to capture a little more here and there and in this case we were lucky to catch up with Jamie Khammounetry to kick off a new series called “Connections.” These are quick hits where we’re able to link up and capture a little bit here in between events and other sessions. Enjoy! - butterTV.

San Francisco (California), Miami (Florida), Los Angeles, (California), New York City. Catching up with Cameron Talbott in multiple places whether in passing or making last minute plans during the past two years, we’re finally able to finish this project. A lot of good memories are tied to this one as we were always on the move not knowing where we were going to end up next yet enjoying the ride the entire time we were in transit. Cheers!

Eindhoven, Netherlands, February 9th-11th, 2023. After a physical two year hiatus Winterclash returns to a newly renovated Area 51. All the feels come back with this one as it really was a time for catching up. As always, Winterclash never fails at being an incredible event—from the skating, to the energy, to the panel discussions, and everything that happens in between. Thank you Jojo and Co. for always putting in a ton of hard work to organize this amazing weekend and thank you everyone that supports it. Cheers and much love! - butterTV.

Miami, Florida / New York City - After many delays and missed deadlines we finally release this very special piece on a very special day so be sure to wish Justin Brasco a Happy Birthday in the comments.
We’ve spent a short amount of time in Florida to avoid some cold days of a harsh winter then met up for a handful of sessions in our hometown of New York throughout the spring and summer. Some days were simple while others were chaotic and that’s how we love it—spontaneous and unpredictable plus some high blood pressure moments that skating in the city inevitably brings. Enjoy & cheers! - butterTV.

“The support is amazing. We have a great community out here”. - Mike Jiminez.
Oakland, California - September 30th, 2023. While spending some time in San Francisco to finish up filming with Cameron Talbott, we found ourselves lucky with the timing as the Bay Area Skate Series (B.A.S.S.) took place during our stay on the west coast. With reports of light rain, we made it over the bay bridge into Oakland for the day to catch up with everyone while the sky barely kept it together long enough for the duration of the competition where the winner takes all.
There was a rumor floating around that this would be the last one but we all know how that goes and after the turnout and results—there certainly will be another one. Great times, great tricks, and most of all, great people. Cheers! - butterTV.
