Pale Rider - "Your Faces" | Official Skate Video

Featuring legendary skateboarder Jim Bates, blending footage from the 90s to the present day. Jim, renowned for his technical skill and often compared to Rodney Mullen, gained notoriety after his iconic victory over Eric Koston in the 2005 Eric Koston Game of Skate. In this video, he takes us on a journey through his hometown of Newbury Park, California, skating at various iconic local spots known to the area's skaters. Beyond showcasing his mastery of the craft, Jim’s journey reflects his personal growth and enduring passion for skateboarding. Spanning decades, this tribute highlights Jim's remarkable career, resilience, and lifelong dedication to the sport he loves.

"Your Faces" by Pale Rider is an introspective track that blends alternative and indie rock influences with a haunting lyrical journey. Inspired by the emotive soundscape of The Psychedelic Furs' "Heaven", the song explores themes of identity, vulnerability, and the masks people wear to navigate the challenges of life. With atmospheric melodies and a powerful chorus urging to "take off your faces," the song invites listeners to embrace authenticity and confront their inner struggles. The raw emotion and reflective tone make this a poignant and relatable anthem for anyone seeking to break free from societal expectations.
