Our little team skater, Annika Vrklan, spends the day in Raskullz Studios laying down her very first ever voice over for some new character work. All great voice actors use lots of “hands”. Can someone say ‘Nailed it!’?
S’mores + Peaches = S’meaches. Get the recipe here.
Between preparation, psyching oneself up, and the many failures, there’s a lot of time that goes into one skateboard trick. Photographer Sebastian Linda breaks down 60 minutes of a skateboarder’s day to see how every second is spent while trying to land a single trick.
From the 2012 Concurs de Castells, a human tower-building competition in Tarragona, Spain, watch this video by photographer David Oliete.
A long tradition in the region, castells began at the end of the 18th century. The sport has rules, techniques, and team responsibilities to guard safety and success. The pinya or base is made of a few hundred people that can catch anyone who falls, and the tower itself has a variety of different formations. The top three levels are the pom de dalt, made up of children in helmets.
A character in a moment, one created each day for 30 consecutive days, animated as an exercise of skill and imagination by UK-based animator Geoff King. He writes:
“It was difficult to even think of what to animate most days. I spent a few hours on average for each day, sometimes it felt like all day. I originally intended to do them quicker but they usually didn’t get going till the late evening. This also meant all the days where only ‘first passes’ or ‘straight aheads’. After the first 5 days I realised I should try to maintain a reasonable quality. It wasn’t easy, a lot of time was spent hitting a wall but I had fun trying something different everyday.”
Here at Raskullz HQ we’re a big fan of two things: Fun & Playing it Safe. The folks over at Geospace Studio have quite the concept invention on their hands in creating the totally radical new bike, the Firefly.
All weather? Check. Laser lights? Double check. Tron level fun? Triple check.

Here’s a new promo for the fabulous website DIY.org. What we find so awesome about the site is the way it takes the idea of learning a new skill and turns the process into a game.
