Gotta admit, we’re not too familiar with whatever Beyond Medals is—looks like a streetwear/outerwear outfitter from across the pond? But when we saw names like Kevin Bækkel, Gabriel Fortunato, Josef Skott Jatta and our good buddy Jack Thompson, we had to see what all the fuss was about. You should too. Press play.

Alex Risvad sets this humdinger off with some incredible moves after the cinematic, tripps intro. Apparently Beyond Medals has a nice budget to create skate videos and send our homies on trips—a best case scenario in these tough economic times.
Run back a favorite from our buddy Jack Thompson and the Sour squad! Sergio!

Great soundtrack, filming and editing throughout. Keep your eyes peeled for a couple Wes Kremer guest clips in there. Speaking of Wes and the Sour team, run back our Spain-to-France tour video from a few years back:

Kevin Bækkel’s part is nothing short of savage. This dude continues to put his body on the line for each and every video part. You might want to fast forward the double-drop bank roll in to head smack. But he ain’t done there. The stunts only get heavier.
