Thrasher Magazine summed it up best here, "Shop videos represent everything we love about skateboarding and this one from Orchard in Boston has it all. It's a true glimpse into the scene, complete with sick local street spots, young upstarts, surprise guests, legends like Jahmal Williams, and even some shredding from the owners. Enjoy!"Congratulations to Orchard Skateshop for putting out an epic skate video and representing and supporting skateboarding to the fullest.
