SUPERVELOCE SC (1350€ / $1500)
A brand new chapter. The Superveloce SC (Sem Croft pro model) has been in the making for over 4 years. From drawing new ideas on a blank piece of paper to talking with Sem Croft on how to use the Superleggera technology to create an aggressive skate. Together with Jelle Briggeman, we created a completely new UFS mold with the perfect dimensions for the most high end aggressive skate ever created. Every aspect of the skate has been designed to create the fastest and most responsive UFS boot on the market. Taking a big step with manufacturing processes and embracing new technology. Not only for its soulplate, but also the one piece H-block slider. This is our lovepoem towards an industry we grew up in. And we hope to keep pushing the envelope with future products. From the bottom of our hearts, congratulations Sem.

“This is by far the biggest drop I ever took off a rail”. - Connor O’Brien.
Card Description: Connor O’Brien, 19 years old, San Diego California, 7 years of skating.
Without wheels: I would probably be: a) one of those surfers bros who constantly conforms to be cool, b) More inclined to pursue my acting career on the hit show “Dawson’s Creek”, or c) A ladies’ man.
Looking forward: The Remz Tour, a summer to chill and skate with my friends, and eventually graduating college.

San Diego/ Los Angeles California - November 2021. While traveling to SoCal to cover the tenth annual Blading Cup event, we teamed up with Justin Brasco along the way for another fun short piece. Filming with a broken hand and on a whim with last minute planning, I’d say we did pretty good with this one. Justin has been a frequent mainstay here on butterTV and we have plenty more in the works so stay tuned. Cheers! - ButterTV.com.

Welcome to the second episode of The Vault on the Then And Now Youtube channel. Each episode of The Vault features raw footage from one tape in my collection. I have nearly 400 VHS-C, Hi-8, and MiniDV tapes that I am archiving and sharing with the world.

This trip took place sometime in 2005 when I was filming for Sleaze, the Vicious Bearings team video.
