youtube premiere
During the COVID-19 Pandemic of 2020, strict “Stay At Home” orders were put into place and “Social Distancing” was a must in order to “flatten the curve.” Video premieres couldn’t be done in person due to health concerns.
On March 22, 2020, “NAPALM.” was one of the first skate videos premiered during the COVID-19 Pandemic Lock-down. It premiered LIVE on YouTube at 12:30 P.M. exactly to coincide with the first song that was used, performed by The Mamas and The Papas. The film was released on Transworld Skateboarding.
