With well over a decade of skate video production under his belt Takahiro Morita is set to release his new video real soon.

Hard to believe it's getting on for 10 years since skateboarding lost the energy and positivity that was embodied in Tim Brauch. To celebrate his life a documentary is in production, entitled 'Beans', that will be released next year documenting his life and skateboarding. Time to dig out the Este shirt in memory.
