the persian version.

skateboarding has once again taken us to a bizarre part of the world. never thought we would be filming tricks in downtown tehran, iran, if you asked me a couple years ago.

very pleased to present ‘the persian version'. enjoy a journey from iran to turkey via the usual land transportation in our continuous trek zigzagging around the eurasian peninsula.

'far east, up north'.

the converse china team once again embarked on a journey, this time to the northern neighboring country of russia. while skateboarding is booming within china, the team was looking for something more obscure to skateboard and the far east sounded like perfect option. the only problem was that no one expected it to be freezing in april. besides dealing with the language barrier, skateboarding on rough terrain, the gang had to get accustomed to traditional soviet style ice swimming and much more.

featuring the converse china team, xiao xing, xu ying, blackie, keng qu and alexander hwang.
