Double Tap to Zoom

The Palace skate team just dropped the compilation video for its recent trip to Japan. At 11 minutes long, Deeper Understanding shows skaters Lucien Clarke, Jamal Smith, Danny Brady and more skate through Japanese spots rocking Palace gear.

The glitchy video shows the skaters showing off tricks, crashing, exploring local culture and repetitively drawing the ire of security and police. The footage is interspersed with imagery of Japanese culture with head-spinning acid edits, as well as a very British skate interlude in Liverpool. To get a deeper understanding, watch the full video above.
