When Billy Rohan left New York, the city lost a true original that cultivated skate culture with his own unique flair. Billy’s back, announcing his return with his Illumignarly video series on Theories of Atlantis, a lo-fi madness mash-up. Billy took a break from sessioning with Jahmal Williams and Quim Cardona to look back at the analog days of watching VHS skate videos at skate shops. Adjust your tracking and tune in to VHS Days.
More VHS Days? Episode 1 with Lenny Kirk, Episode 2 with Clyde Singleton or 3 with Billy Rohan.
Starring: Billy Rohan
Produced by: Anthony Pappalardo
Filming & Editing: Taji Ameen
