DAKOTA ROCHE DIG Q+A - BEHIND THE SCENES ON VANS 'SEEKING LIBERTY'

Talking Philly with Dak

26 Feb 2021

Filmed and edited by Rob Dolecki / Archival footage from Ryan Navazio, Veesh / Cult, and Vans.

Late last fall, Dakota Roche masked up and jumped on a plane for the first time in six months (thanks to COVID) and headed east to Philadelphia for a week. It was the first time he'd ridden the city of Brotherly Love since 2012 (while filming for Talk Is Cheap), and with evolved eyes, found a fresh landscape of appealing terrain not necessarily noticed during previous trips. The resulting vid, “Seeking Liberty”, is a treat. On the last night of his trip, we gave Dak the Q&A grilling while he was packing up to go home. We covered all things Philly, from his history with the city to some of his favorite video sections in classics from CULT, VANS and RIDEBMX.
