The internet is abuzz over the Familia Chosen video. From Hellaclips to the message boards everybody is tripping off video that Tim Fulton edited together of his Minnesota homies Tabari Cook, Jack Olson, David Jaimes and CJ Tambornino. We reached out to Tim to get some insight into his video and his crew.

Occupation: student/Works at 3rd Lair Skatepark
Filmed/Edited Familia Chosen Part on: Sony VX2000/Final Cut Pro

What was the angle you wanted to go in when you were editing the Familia part?
I was trying to make something that was raw skating but had a little production behind it. I've really done anything with time-lapses or anything like that but I knew I wanted to incorporate that.

You've guys have been noticed and people seem the most stoked on your video. How does that make you feel?
It's tight. I think it's cool that we have a lot of people hyped on it.

What would you tell other kids when making their video on how to get noticed?
Just put your all into and then try to hype it up as much as you can and try and spread the word. If you tell a couple of your friends and they tell a couple of their friends the word will get out.

It doesn't hurt to have Steve Nesser on your side, right?
Ha! Steve is definitely a big help. He's definitely plugging it as much ads he can. He throws it on the Familia site all the time. I think he's sent it to his friends and they're helping us out too. Steve has been a huge help.

Describe Familia and your crew.
Familia is a skateshop but I really think it's more than that. The name has a lot of meaning behind it because it is a bunch of dudes that are super tight and they all go way back. They set down a good foundation for everybody. As for the crew, we're all kids from around Minnesota. We're all from different areas but we're all really close friends that have been skating together forever. Tabari is the vegatarian kid who is really motivated. One of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. CJ too is another nice guy and always the hype man behind everything. Jack Olson is the young gun of the crew but he's super cool too. David is the silent killer.

For all the kids watching your Chosen Familia part around the country, what would you want them to know about your scene in Minneapolis?
I think the reason our scene in Minneapolis is so tight is because our winters are so harsh here that everyone gets together all winter long skating the 3rd Lair Skatepark every day so everyone gets to know everyone really well. That's why everyone clicks so well here.
