Skate video to open at Uptown Theatre

Mike Goehring

Art, skateboarding and music collide for the Hypnotic Record video premiere at the Uptown Theatre in Kansas City.

Doors open at 7 p.m. on Nov. 19 and tickets will be available for $5 at the door, or you can buy them in advance at Studio Skate Supply, (8875 Rosehill Rd, Lenexa, Kan.)

Hypnotic Record is a skateboarding video that has been a work in progress for the last three and a half years. Originally, the video was going to be used as a promo video featuring five team riders of Studio Skate Supply. In the last year the video has upgraded to a full-length video featuring all 12 members of the team.

The name of the video comes from the graphic theme used for the next run of decks, wheels and other merchandise at the shop.

Brian Ondrejka, creator of the video, has put all his efforts into making this video a success- everything from filming, editing and booking the event at the theatre itself.

“A lot of my blood, sweat, and even tears have been put into this video over the course of its life,” said Ondrejka.

Ondrejka dedicated the video to Bryan Borrow, who passed away in March of 2009, shortly after he was put on the team. Ondrejka was able to film enough of Borrow for him to have a much-anticipated part in the video.

The video will be available for purchase at the event and at the shop on Black Friday for $15. For more information on Studio Skate Supply check them out on the web at www.ridefourever.com.
