The Friend Ship - Off The Grid• Subscribe to The Berrics 👉 http://bit.ly/TheBerricsYoutube When I approached the dudes at The Berrics about doing this piece, I really wanted it to be an “On The Grid” because Travis Harrison and John Benton are two guys that are mostly always off the grid already. But since they don’t have that segment yet, we had no choice but to go out and dork around and have fun. Which we totally did. Also, let’s consider this a “welcome to the team” part for Lonnie Adams, too. He’s our new lead vocalist. There’re a couple of tricks from our friends Chris Pastras and Andreas Trolf thrown in there for good measure, as well. It was a really awesome day. Thanks for filming, Jake. —Tim Olson Sometimes the industry of skateboarding can take itself a little bit too serious and I understand why. There's a lot of passion rolling around on those four wheels and for as much as the people like to talk about how skateboarding isn't about the money, when you're a business, sometimes it has to be about the money. No single company can operate at a deficit, unless you're the US government. Mixed in with all that passion there has to be a little bit of a businessman inside us because no one in the industry grew up wanting to be an insurance salesman because that's no fun and skateboarding is. So, to celebrate that fact, and to prove you can have it just about anywhere when you have a skateboard, we created Off the Grid. For a pro skateboarder whose life can be stressed out due to filming for videos, shooting photos and skating in contests, sometimes he has to go off the grid just to have a little fun. Enjoy.
