Why it’s probably a very bad idea to skate down a hill with a case of beer

Where does one begin to dissect this video of a Norwegian guy attempting to skate down a hill with a case of beer?

Nevermind the two-second shot of the dude taking a wee in the background—and the fact that these guys must’ve already been pretty drunk to begin with—I believe this kid would have actually made it had he pulled up his goddamned pants! Now get off my lawn!!!

Yes, even Jesus needed an ID card to skate back in the day.

As a side note: They’re probably ‘shopped—maybe not—but this is still funny, nonetheless.

‘This Ain’t California’: Documentary about 80s skate culture in East Germany

This Ain’t California is a 90-minute documentary by director Martin Persiel that takes “original clips of the “wheel-board-riders” – straight out of the East German scene in the 80s – and mixes it with animations and reencounters with the protagonists today. It is not just a well thought out story on its own – this film also raises the aesthetic bar.”

From the film’s website:

Life in the GDR as it has never been seen: a film that shows a unique generation from the GDR in the 80s which has never before been shown in a film. It is free from the classic GDR clichés, which are often adopted by the occidental point of view.

A film in which the East takes a look at the West, right up to the year 2011 – always with one theme clearly in focus: friendship.

 
Visit This Ain’t California‘s website to learn more about the film and how to support its release.

Abstract ‘painting’ created in abandoned pool by skateboards with spray paint

This is a lot like the light painting with a Roomba that’s been making the rounds on the Internet the past few days. However, this one is a bit more dangerous.

Experimental and slightly mental. The D*Face spray paint skateboard interface. What better way to paint the pool then letting everyone get involved? With high-tech remotely controlled spray can apparatus mounted to the underside of skateboards…every line a skater took became the paint job of the pool.
