Smell the Onion
a film by Andrew Kazlauskas - 2006
In the wake of Abstract Art and Rushing Roulette comes Chicago's newest masterpiece, Smell the Onion. Smell the Onion is a passing of the torch for the Chicago skate scene. The video showcases the first feature profiles of up and comers Steve Lerner and Kruise Sapstein, as well as profiles from Paul Piencak, Nolan Wojciechowski, John Adams, Rory Melehan, and Matthias St. John. Also included are sections from two generations of Chicago skate crews: the now legendary Mersinaries and the off color antics from the small town of Cary, Illinois. Simply put, this is the hottest video you and the rest of the be-mag message board will hate on this year.
