But the indelible mark that Strobeck himself has left on skating is also evident in the shots, and in dozens of other moments of cinematic brilliance across a career that has come to define the very look and feel of modern skating – and helped produce icons like Jones. The bins became symbols of Jones’s unique ability on a skateboard and his singular claim to New York’s crown. But the trick selection and difficulty are otherworldly. His ability to clear them with such ease is startling. In a narrow stretch of bike lane between the pavement and a row of parked cars, Jones has set two metal Department of Sanitation rubbish bins – each about 75cm tall – far enough apart so that he can go over them, back to back, in a shocking succession of tricks.

The footage of Jones in Play Dead opens on the busy section of Lafayette Street in front of the old Supreme store. Jones is now the first Black skater, the first East Coast native and the youngest skater to take the Thrasher award twice.

Strobeck would produce two more feature-lengths for Supreme: 2018’s BLESSED, with Jones crowned Thrasher Magazine’s Skater of the Year shortly thereafter, and 2022’s Play Dead, which contributed to another storied win. Watching a Strobeck video places you kerbside, as though you’re sitting and watching the session go down. Arriving in 2014, Cherry redefined skateboarding productions and showcased Strobeck’s now-signature cinematography, in which the lens frenetically zooms in and out on the skater to emphasise facial expressions, clothing, tattoos and nail polish as aspects of equal significance to the trick. Following the release of the Courthouse Drop footage in the Supreme ad “Buddy,” the brand greenlit its first feature-length skateboarding video and hired Strobeck to film it. Over the decade since, Strobeck, who is now 45, and Jones, 24, have underwritten a paradigm shift in skate videos, one that has widened the lens on how skateboarding is perceived, and turned the young skater into a global superstar.
