Charley Agers come and gone.
Speculation about Adam Delormes current whereabouts populates the Newschoolers forums.
Yet, with every rule, theres an exception.
Truck Talk is a collaborative vision dreamt up by Hornbeck and Casabon.
The films title was happenstance.
When Casabon arrived in Michigan, he hopped into Hornbecks truck and started filming with his iPhone.
I just pulled out my phone in the truck first thing because Mike is an entertaining character.
This interview has been edited for clarity and length.
Hornbeck:That’s the goal.
I’ve been filming with Spencer for a while.
What’s the street scene like in Michigan?
Are there good spots around there?
Hornbeck:Yes, mainly just the snow is the hardest part overall.
There are good spots.
They got definitely a little bit of a look to them.
They’re more on the simpler side.
You know, like it makes it feel like anybody can go do it.
Phil, what do you think of the spots down in Michigan?
I really got the tour.
Ive been eyeing that spot for that long.
So 16, 17 years later, I get to ski on that spot.
One of my favorite clips in the movie, so it was just full circle, loved it.
What would you guys like to see more of in freeskiing?
Milbocker:Kind of what we are seeing.
I mean, there’s a big push for street movies in recent years, I would say.
Definitely in that direction.
So it gives like this diversity.
Whereas when we first started, there’s like good park edits coming out all the time.
And lately, I just feel like it’s on Tik Tok or Instagram and stuff.
And, like, yeah, even park edits are dead.
Casabon:The big thing that changed is that people are less patient.
And even myself, Im guilty of it for Instagram… Hornbeck:I’d say just for the younger kid trying to maybe learn tricks.
You don’t have to own the DVD or anything.
And so for, like the younger kids, they get inspired.
Thats probably pretty good, but there’s like a fine line there.
But then again, that’s like a way to get noticed.
But that’s not a means to a career.
What things or skiers in freeskiing right now are you excited about?
Casabon:Jake Mageau is one that gets me really hyped.
Hornbeck:They’re definitely a different generation just with their spot selection and things, you know.
How have your relationships with skiing changed over time?
Say a trick that I’ve done, like, I can go back and do it.
Casabon:I see it as a hip-hop career.
I’m looking at these dudes reinventing themselves.
I’m never gonna be satisfied.
So Im going to keep coming back for more.
Whats the future with skiing look like for you guys?
I got my hands full for the next ten years with this skiing shit.
