You probably know Rob Taro from his work as a videographer, specifically his much-loved @timescan video series, but he is also a talented & well-rounded skateboarder in his own right. Alongside working on last year’s brilliant ‘Timescan 2’ full-length, Rob has been quietly chipping away at an impressive personal project – ‘Believe’ – filmed between between Japan, his home town in New Jersey, as well as NYC, LA & London & featuring a solid roster of guest skaters familiar from Rob’s videos, including the legendary Gou Miyagi.
In Rob’s words:
“I’ve always dreamed of creating a part that connects my two homes – Japan and New Jersey – while also featuring iconic spots from skate videos around the world. As a filmmaker myself, juggling the search for dedicated filmers, staying motivated, and simultaneously working on ‘Timescan 2’ made the process incredibly challenging. But bringing this vision to life is something I’ve always wanted to do, and finally completing it feels unreal.”
