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.
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.”
It’s always awesome to see Raskullz helmets pop up around the wide world of bike riding. Check out this awesome new YouTube ad by Canadian Tire. It looks like they got almost all the Raskullz characters in one spot!
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. We’re a big fan of fun & games here at Raskullz, and couldn’t be more stoked on the way they’ve taken the power of fun to the next level.
Spotted! T-Chops in a Harlem Shake video!!!
