Technically speaking, nothing. Werner has no background in skating. But I believe he is one of us.
He preaches maxims like getting the shot by any means necessary, carrying bolt cutters everywhere, and thwarting institutional cowardice with guerrilla tactics. His entire career has been built on a DIY approach to life, his craft banged into existence through decades of trial and failure.
Because Werner’s approach to living and filmmaking mirrors the ethos of skating in so many ways, I decided to track him down to chat about the similarities and differences between our two worlds.

that was a clean one - Werner Herzog

I would absolutely devour a Herzog skate film.

He should narrate a skate competition. "In this cramped and rotting structure it appears that we have here a group of people who only come to accept small successes over an impossible mountain of failure. We can observe them recklessly fumbling about the course like mice who know they are soon to be fed to a python. Only one small glimmer of hope comes when a rare window that is not certain death appears, and a trick is landed. And that was a good backside tailslide by Ishod the Weary."

You guys have to make a t-shirt quoting him:

This is it. The peak of skateboarding content. Nothing will ever be as good as this ever again.

When he said he saw skaters & thought "these are my people" I've never felt more proud.

"have you fallen in love with a camera before?" "no"

Listening to the Russian Orthodox music paired with skating as Werner Herzog mentions the connection to the 'sacred' really struck me in an emotional sense. I've often pondered and studied what different cultures and religious peoples refer to as their "connection to the sacred", whether it be meditation, prayer, physical forms of worship, and I completely agree that skateboarding is a sacred and emotional headspace that we all seek to achieve whether we realize it or not. I jokingly refer to skating as my yoga, but in all actuality it is most definitely an activity where I seek mental refuge and it is a healing place for me. If I've had a terrible day, skateboarding helps. I clear my mind and focus on one thing and one thing only. Anyways, this probably sounds borderline ridiculous, but I felt it in my chest when Werner made that observation.

I’m 100% sincere when I say this, but in spite of it not being Jenkem or Herzog’s intent, this video actually changed my life in a profound way. Herzog mentioning Russian Orthodox choir as appropriate skateboarding music made me interested in checking out the broader Orthodox Christian choral traditions, and I fell in love with the reverence for God and musical richness on display in them.
This led me to actually attend an Orthodox Divine Liturgy for the first time in June 2022, and from there I found even more beauty in their Eucharistic communion, the stories of the saints, and so much more. I was baptized into the church in July 2023, and in a very strange way this video is the seed of that entire process.
Also, I will share a story from a Desert Father which shows the unexpected parallels between the Orthodox view of repentance and the trials of skateboarding:
“A young monk said to Abba Sisoes: “Abba, what should I do? I fell.” The elder answered: “Get up!” The monk said: “I got up and I fell again!” The elder replied: “Get up again!” But the young monk asked: “For how long should I get up when I fall?” “Until your death,” answered Abba Sisoes. “For a man heads to his judgment either fallen or getting back up again.””

He absolutely, 100% gets what skateboarding is all about.

In the ad for his filmmaking Masterclass he said something about filming footage along these lines "we were like thieves, and the footage we filmed was our stolen goods." That image fits so well on the entire skate filmmaking scene as a whole and it resonnates with me so much, it shook me quite a bit when I first heard it.

I want Werner to look at whatever I'm doing and whisper, "So many failures. It's astonishing."
