Europeskate Photo Of The Day July 27th 2010

Posted on July 27, 2010 with Comments Off

Nice little man-made obstacle to find which obviously was not made for skating but it sure looks like it was! The photographer ‘luciarrno’ (check out his Flickr gallery) wasn’t happy with this photo (his description: z
3 working flashes – 2 broken cables = 1 working flash and shitty photo) but I like the atmosphere and the thrill this skater enjoyed after finding this little gem. Here’s the Europeskate Photo Of The Day for July 27th 2010!

Burn ‘Ride’ short film

Posted on July 27, 2010 with Comments Off

Burn energy drinks have made a short film called Ride based around people skateboarding on fire.

The film was shot in Mexico City and features pyrotechnical skateboarding from the likes of Jesus Gonzalez, Eder Martinez and Luis Tolentino, and is solemnly narrated by Steve Berra.

But even without the petrol and box of matches, this would have been impressive. Check out around 2:06 where someone gaps a fucking skyscraper!

I wonder where on earth they got the idea?! Call it a hunch but perhaps it was Heath Kirchart and Jeremy Klein’s joint part in The End.

It’s not like Berra would have been unfamiliar with it…
