Back in spring of 2023, Ariana Spencer told us that “more street footage” was on her agenda during her interview for Closer #4. Seemingly, she had blanked that she had already been a standout part of the cast member in Foundation Skateboards videos, Splendor and Whippersnappers, during the couple of years leading up to that conversation.
Making good on that promise, Evergreen, is Ariana’s heaviest work yet and she delivers a full-part in Converse Con’s new full-length alongside Shane Farber, Eddie Cernicky, Zion Effs and Brian O’Dwyer
Helmed by Ben Chadourne and Ryan Lee, the video runs at a tight — and intense — 20 minutes. Fire it up and enjoy a little gallery of tricks which have appeared in Closer whilst the video has been in production below.
