LOST FILES: Pat Casey, Kevin Peraza & Mike Varga | Toronto, Canada 2023 by Monster Energy
"It was 2017, a time in between contests. It was Pat and Kevin’s first time in Toronto, Canada where I filmed them in Varga's backyard in Whitby, Ontario. I think Varga had just gotten some additions to his ramp and same with Pat. So the idea was to film mainly Pat at Varga's house with some trio clips of them all, and then film the other half of the video at Pat's house."
