You can't skate Chester.
This was the challenge offered to the Bonxai Skate Company prior to shooting their new feature edit, 'Old Deva; a challenge they accepted with open arms and an extended middle finger. A challenge that they not only rose to, but one that they completely destroyed. With nothing more than a few scrapes and bruises to show for it.
Can you skate a canal lock? How about fibreboard construction barriers? Roman architecture? Of course, Skiny Pete of the Bonxai skate company, with the help of cinematographer Ben, show us that if you have the will, the lack of self-preservation and the imagination, you can skate anything.
Through 'Old Deva', Bonxai aim to inspire others to really make the most of the city's in which they live. Just because a spot is crap, doesn't mean your output needs to be. 'The spot is only as crap as your mindset'.
