"Greener Pastures" film series is hosted in Switzerland which encompasses a great diversity of landscapes offering an abundance of opportunity for places to film and explore.

The purpose of "Greener Pastures" is to expose some of the best skating with some of the best riders on earth in a high quality production. It is clear that longboarding has become an individual entity, distinct from other sports while still being connected to them. It is this new and vibrant identity that "Greener Pastures" looks to communicate to its viewers. But unlike other skateboard and longboard videos, "Greener Pastures" will represent all companies together, presented in an unbiased fashion. It is this type of unity that will allow for an uninhibited cooperation between riders. It is this sense of community and cooperation that is at the heart of the contemporary longboarding identity.

Produced by Patrick Switzer
Directed by 3heads Production

Ramón's quick summary:

We all gathered at my place July 6th, the day I returned victorious from Maryhill and hit the road the next day right when a crazy hail storm came down to ruin all my grandparents' fruit in the backyard.

It was't the only storm we had to outlive on the two weeks trip; unfortunately some of the bad weather caused some delay but we tried not to struggle and stick to our schedule (as far as P-Swiss time goes). Samy and I were in charge of getting everyone where they needed to be…in time!

For me – and also Yvon – Greener Pastures was the chance to be starring in front of the camera for a change. Nevertheless, from time to time we couldn't hold ourselves back and contributed a few shots to the 3heads. (Yvon was mainly taking time lapse or running the rope cam.)

The episodes will be lauched by early October through our YouTube channel.

Glad I stored this big a** roof box in my barn all winter long!

2 week-long Skatetrips are exhausting!

That day the wheather cleared up just in time for some evening runs down a big mountain pass.

Those night time runs with the flares were epically experimental!
