Casper Brooker’s Slam City “City of Rats” section.

Ryan — Thu, 09 Aug 2012 11:04:42 +0000

Heroin Skateboards and Emerica Footwear youth Casper Brooker killed it for his first ever full section in Slam City’s “City of Rats” video. If its release a few months somehow managed to pass you by, Henry has uploaded Casper’s section for you to witness, which can be watched below.

Read the Slam quote from Ben below then purchase the DVD here.

“At a point in time where a large section of skateboarders consider social networking props to constitute skateboard culture, it is extremely refreshing to see members of the younger generation still out pounding the streets like those who came before them. Don’t be one of those bellends who only watches skate videos after they’ve been cut up into bite-sized sections on some Facebook hero’s page: support real skateboard culture with your money, not just your ‘liking’ finger. City of Rats is more than worth the measly tenner they’re asking for it. Goon support should be mandatory.”
