subject madars!

madars apse, welcome to the pro team! it’s impossible not to get entranced by this lanky, latvian. the world-traveling madars speaks five languages, is university educated and is endless fun to be around. his grace on board is not always mirrored off it; he can be quite clumsy – but lovably so. madars finds friends and adventure wherever wheels and whims take him. if you come across this tall, blonde ripper carrying a skateboard and a banjo in some far off land, you’re in for memorable time.

"mallorca migration"

mallorca, the spanish island in the mediterranean was the first of many stops while filming for future nature. this is a behind-the-scenes look at what we captured while stalked these animals through the coastline, mountains, and into the plazas.

while following amateurus for future nature, we ended up in the jewel of the equator, costa rica. we trailed the pod from the sunken seas to the highest mountain tops, surrounded by a volcanic skyline.

the final location of this exodus was the northern providence of spain, known as basque country. we stalked amateurus from bilbao to madrid and everywhere in between.

all footages were filmed by cole mathews, marc falkenstien and mark stewart.

"second nature" a documentary film about janne saario.

second nature is a 20-minute documentary on element team rider and budding landscape architect, janne saario of finland.

the short film allows a glimpse of saario’s thoughts and dreams, which float between design, art and skateboarding. though it also reveals the important concurrence of post-industrial areas, sustainable concepts and natural environments and unfolds the demanding obligation, towards today’s generation and those to come, to create positive and inspiring, local communities.

over the past two years, filmer yves marchon’s keen eye reels in the various aspects and angles of janne’s life and creates the perfect portrayal of what element is most proud of and strives to constantly stand for through their products, artists and team riders: to bring progress to skateboarding in the most honest and ethical way.

element skateboarding team session at skatepark of tampa.

sometimes when you "hail mary" it, you get a shocker and actually make it, your jaw dragging on the ground as you roll away, arms in the air. that happened a few times during the best trick contest we had with the nyjah huston, evan smith, and levi brown as judges during the skate with the element team session at skatepark of tampa. thanks to everyone that stopped by and to the element team that hung out all afternoon with everyone.
