Chase
released his 2nd skateboard video, STRIVE in December of 2007. Strive is a Chicago-based
skateboarding video by Chase Gabor. Strive features top Midwest names such as Kyle
Terbush, Andy Patterson, Bryant Karr, Billy Lutz, Jason Evans and Andy
Sisomboune. The premiere of Strive was at Joliet's SuperSaver Theater on
Saturday, December 15th. Chase had a sell-out of the first showing even though
the weather was snowing and sleeting. The second showing sold out more than half
the theater. He also sold over 100 copies of his skateboard DVD the night of the
premiere. Since the premiere Chase has continued to sell copies of Strive
through his website at www.chase-films.com.
His sales have come from individuals as well as Skate Shops who have purchased
in bulk. This latest skateboard video release, Strive, took more than 2 years of
travel and hundreds of hours of videotaping which Chase then edited into this
current DVD. Two different video trailers can be seen of Strive here: First
Trailer or Second
Trailer. Although Chase is
in his 2nd year of college, he has used his profits from Strive to move to
Huntington Beach, California. He
regularly videotaped Marissa
