the beasts from the east!

one of the raddest things about skating is going new places, searching for new spots. boiling heat, packs of mentally disturbed monkeys and 100% skateboarding define this three-week journey through bali as the beasts from the east — an 11-person crew from germany — seek out untouched spots and skate everything from ancient temple grounds to jungle mini ramps. find the time and give filmmaker sebastian linda's visual treat a watch. you won't be disappointed.

“24 years ago i saw the first skateboarder in my life. since that day i had the dream of being a Skateboarder. 24 years later we took our skateboards and travelled to the other side of the world, to create that dream for someone else.”

60 minutes in a skateboarder´s life.

mind fuckery...!

there are these guys shooting this "one second out of an hour" moments and putting them in a magazine called humbug, pretending it´s skateboarding.

well, when i had the mission to write an article for them, i discovered what skateboarders are really doing within an hour of trying a single trick.
