Farran has such an amazing gift of editing, pacing and interviewing style. Really great to hear these stories and see the archival footage. Keep making these.

Mind Field was the first video I ever bought with my own money...I watched that video for dayyyyz, nonstop. The music (Animal collective,Blackmoth super Rainbow), the editing, the skating...just a masterpiece

[@memorysometimers3067]

The bag-pipe at the beginning was almost a tear jerker along with goosebumps. Motivational really. Then the entire vid was epic. What ever happened to Omar Salazar? Sure I could find him on IG if I tried. He was one of my faves for years!

[@reportedstolen3603]

@@memorysometimers3067 he’s such a beast! I miss his skating. The bagpipes gave me chills every time

[@kaleidoscopex7213]

That animal collective album made my 8th/9th grade self WOKED tf up . Love JJ & love Mason

[@augormasterson9312]

This is an amazing concept and the pairing of Jake & Mason is perfect

In 2019 at the Dime event in Montreal, after the event was over, me n 2 friends were just about to cross the street. And JAKE JOHNSON says “I seen you skating” dude!!!He became even more legendary in my eyes since then!!! JAKE’S KING

[@kevinfortsch]

I remember seeing him at the first dime comp and thinking he was fucking tall as fuck 😂

[@gronos1]

He blessed you for life

[@jeremylamovsky3669]

I didn't realize how influential mindfield was. It came out during a time I didn't skate as much or pay attention to skate media so I wasn't sure how it was received. I know I loved it. Dylan hated his part and the general consensus was he could have done way better, which may be true, but I really liked his part. Jake's was just amazing though

[@nakikyoko9664]

Incredibly late, but the same could be said for Dill's part which boasted some immensely impressive and influential lines and tricks; all while recovering from drug addiction.

[@Yongsk8]

Jake Johnson is my favorite skater! It's awesome to see someone like Mason Silva admiring him and wanting to go to "Jake Johnson" spots

[@HARDL3FT]

That wall ride is timeless

[@FabledCity]

I went by the bump to bar to loading dock in LIC yesterday. Thing is still so gnarly even now. I was at the Mind Field premiere in LA back in 2009 and had no idea that spot was in my hood back home until this edit (pause>screenshot>zoom in>google maps). I also found it sorta funny that that top bar was cut like 15 years ago and to this day the business that operates there has still never fixed it. Love the idea of the passionate homage!

[@Aflictionzs]

damn the same way he was affected by jake’s part is exactly how i feel about heath’s part this video was next level and I’m bummed that heath didn’t get soty for that part too

[@tweaking_off_the_mid]

Such an impactful video, definitely had a lasting effect on my skating too.

[@gadfanad]

QS has the best skate content on the internet.

[@booftoot]

that wall ride is a fucking brain melter

[@oopsydaizi3s824]

I’m a simple guy. I see a Jake Johnson video and I click it

[@blechschmelze]

Cool Hommage - i am remembering the mindfield Premiere in berlin-skatehall Back in the days. People were stoked after it - changing between hysteria and silence

[@walliegrab9746]

sick concept for a video

[@keagan3425]

“Hey man do the answers to the homework” “yeh just change em a bit”

[@alpineg]

Put together so well thank you

[@bryan_truong]

Love this and favorite spot series

[@turtleboypurp]

[@nathanhand9394]

This is so good.

[@venividdivici0]

[@armkidmustang]

I hope this video gets kids to go down the Jake Johnson rabbit hole, it kills me how many kids I've talked to at the skatepark when I've dropped Jake Johnson's name and nobody has a clue who he is

[@deciduousdiscipline9592]
