Zoo York State Of Mind Premiere, A Review

Following the world premier on June 4th, Zoo York's new film "State of Mind" has moved out of NYC and is making its way around the world. And 17th of June was the turn of Route One's Southampton store to host one of the UK premieres.


It's been a while since Zoo York released a new video, and in the past few years their team has evolved and grown. Some have left and made room for fresh young blood to come through whilst some have stayed and continued to kill it. The new film "State of Mind" is a perfect example of a focused skate team who are absolutely killing it right now. Right from the start Brandon Westgate's section hits hard with some seriously sick skating and leads into an awesome film. And there isn't any weakness in the entire film, every section could have been a stand out section from any other film. Chas Ortiz, Forrest Kirby and Zered Bassett are all skating out of their skin right now and all throw down exceptionally good sections.


Mixed up and set around a New York backdrop keeping the Zoo York heritage alive "State of Mind" is a must for every skaters DVD collection. Really good music too.


Premiered in the very cool bar the Orange Rooms, with DJ Richie Rich Ashworth playing hip hop all night and 2 x Secret Wars winner Gustav Balderdash creating a unique piece of artwork for the evening the night went down very well and was a huge success.
Route One would like to thank Chris @ Shiners; Danny, Amy and all the staff at the Orange Rooms, Rich Ashworth and Gustav Balderdash for helping put on the night.
Peace and Love.
