Loveletter
Some skate videos are about tricks. Others are about moments.
“Loveletter” sits firmly in the second category.
Created by Perk Kute, the video is described as “a big loveletter to all our friends and community” and that is exactly what it feels like. A deeply personal project capturing the people and experiences that make skating so special.
“We’re incredibly lucky to be surrounded by the most beautiful and kind people… I edited the video pretty selfishly lol. I just wanted something I could look back on to remember all the fun times.”
Filmed mostly by their partner Liv, the footage has been building over the past couple of years, documenting life, skating, and friendships since moving to the Bay Area from South Carolina.
What started as a small idea quickly turned into something much bigger.
“I thought it was just going to be a short montage of leftovers… I hadn’t realised how much footage we had collected. It really exploded from there.”
And it shows. The video feels organic, layered, and full of life. Not just a highlight reel, but a time capsule.
A Community Project at Its Core
At the heart of Loveletter is community.
Local Bay Area skaters played a huge part in bringing the video together, with standout contributions from Bea, Lottie, Jackie, Kiki and Jamie. But the reach goes far beyond one scene.
Skaters travelled and contributed footage from all over, including Denver, Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Jacksonville, and even Bristol.
“One of the coolest things was when we dropped a little promo… people reached out asking if they could be part of it. They were all skaters we really admire too.”
What followed was something bigger than expected, so much so that an extra section had to be added just to include everyone.
In total, around 50 skaters became part of the final video.
More Than a Video
Loveletter is not just a skate edit. It is a reminder of why people skate in the first place.
The friendships
The shared experiences
The moments you do not realise you will miss until later
It captures that feeling perfectly. Something raw, honest, and genuinely meaningful.
Final Thoughts
Projects like this are what keep skate culture so alive and connected. It is not about perfection. It is about people.
And “Loveletter” by Perk Kute does that beautifully.
