There’s no denying Animal Collective deserves a seat at the table when talking about music-skate video pairings, so when we heard about their latest album “Isn’t It Now?” we used the opportunity to hit them up and talk skateboarding.

I have a story about Mindfield. I emailed someone from AWS asking where the premier was going to be and they said in downtown Manhattan. They said feel free to show up and attend. Me and a friend went from Long Island to Manhattan on cold February night and it turned out you needed tickets so we had to go home without seeing the premier. I emailed the same person from AWS a few days later saying what happened and they felt so bad they sent me the Mindfield DVD and an AWS deck that's hung on my wall as we speak.

Man this is a trip back to my formative years. Sneaking into the local reservoir on a sunny summer day in 2010, blasting Animal Collective and drinking beers like only teenagers know how. Life feels a lot less colorful now.

The mini-disc part was interesting. I had a friend who'd bring his with the wide mic to most shows in the late 90s and record them from the audience. The recording quality was surprisingly good.

This was great lads, please explore the relationship between music and skateboarding more! I’ve been touring in bands for years at this point and it wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t discover so much music through skate videos, such an important part of my life and I can imagine many others feel the same!

When Mindfield came out i was only skating for less than 2 years. I already watched classics before Mindfield like Baker 3, Fully flared and more. But when Mindfield came out and I watched it, everything changed for me in skateboarding. I realized that skateboarding is more of an art form. The art direction, style, visuals/fillers and edit of this whole video really activated some shit in my brain to look at things differently which really made this video TOP NOTCH TO THIS DAY!

back in the days, I was get into skateboarding again by Mind Field video, I remember I watched the Heath part first, but still the part that still mesmerize me to this day is Jake and AVE part.
