procrastinate not: deal with it

Categories: Procrastinate, Skateboarding, videos

Sometimes things just fall together. The SkoolKill Crew holds it down in the hometown of our favorite PA beer, Yuengling and Deal With It is their newest video . . . well, sort of.

“Deal With It” is a collection of old and new footage filmed and edited by Don Reed featuring Joel Wood, Matt Rathman, Craig Mohl and the homies.

Read the full story behind the video told by Don Reed, the man behind it all after the jump. . .

“We ended up making this video by accident really. Me and Craig had been out filming for fun during the spring and summer, and just stacking up clips for no real reason.

Around October I told him that he had enough for a full part that I could just upload to YouTube, just so we could put the footage out there.

Then I remembered that I had a bunch of old footage of Joel I never used… some of the stuff we filmed like 4 years ago or something. So it was pretty old.

So then I thought of doing a mini video with just Joel and Craig, kinda like Organika did that one time with Walker Ryan and Zach Lyons, but obviously not on that level. Haha.

I asked Matt if he wanted a part in it, because we were filming a lot for the (now defunct) Keystone video, but he said he wanted to save his footy for something else.

I edited Craig’s part first and showed it to a couple other people and everyone was pretty psyched. That’s when Matt said he wanted to be in it and he had a bunch of throwaway and older VX footy he never used.

After Matt’s first edit, he was psyched and wanted to throw some of his good footy in so it all worked out.

Craig came up with the name Deal With It because we knew the tricks in the video were mostly for fun, throwaway, and nothing really fancy so we kind of figured people were going to hate on it, so if they did, we could just say “deal with it.” Haha

‘Deal with it’ is also this internet meme, which is where I got the whole sunglasses thing… this link explains it: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/deal-with-it

So that’s basically it. the video was 4 years in the making and we didn’t really know it. Craig is really the only person who filmed for this video recently, which is why his stuff is in high def.

Overall it just turned out to be a fun bro video, since we obviously don’t take skating too seriously. HAHA. Thanks again!
